I was referred to Shane Phelps Law in Bryan, Texas, by a long term friend and acquaintance for questions that I had about a non criminal matter that had been referred to our county DA office for review. I was upset that our DA had been involved and I was therefore anxious about any unknown potential for criminal charges. Shane Phelps was compassionate, understanding and respectful of my concerns. He clearly explained the laws involved and was able to answer all of my questions as well as allay all of my concerns. His expertise and professional demeanor were appreciated beyond words. My heartfelt thanks go out to Shane, his associates and staff.

Shane and his team are the absolute best. They are professional and worked very very hard on my behalf. Shane, Samantha, and his team kept in touch, worked behind the scenes to get things done, and are so efficient. They are very well connected and highly respected in this area - they know how to get things done. They are honest, warm, caring, and extremely trustworthy. Plus, they are all very friendly, transparent, and just overall very good people. I can't say enough about my experiences with the team and the firm - first class!! I appreciate Shane very much.

The Shane Phelps Law Office were appointed to be my court appointed lawyer and did a thorough job working with the District Attorney to come to reasonable plea deal. The lady in the office also did a wonderful job passing my messages and arranging my private meetings with my lawyer. I was treated very well over the almost 2 years (due on the DA's part) it took to reach a plea. THANKYOU SO MUCH.

Shane went beyond the call of duty in his representation of my son. He was instrumental in getting him into a specific dual diagnosis rehab facility when my attempts were unsuccessful. Shane was relentless when fighting to ensure my son had a future and because of that, a suitable plea agreement was reached. While it was a very difficult time for our family, I am grateful that, with Shane's help, my son is in a wonderful place and has a bright future in front of him. Shane, Samantha and the entire office were a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend Shane Phelps.

Shane Phelps was a Godsend to us. He personally consulted with me on the phone and in person about our case for hours before contracts were even mentioned and gave us so much crucial information to help us navigate a very difficult time for our family. His knowledge, experience, and connections in the county were matched with a sympathetic attitude and genuine desire to help.

Shane came highly recommended by a lawyer friend and he was fantastic! Within 48 hours of an initial interview, he?d researched the matter and found a serious flaw in the charges we were facing. Without even contracting with me, he reached out to the DA and got it resolved. He would not accept payment, and when asked why, he said the just wanted to help. He?s that kind of lawyer, talented, aggressive and will care for you like family. Most important though, he gets the job done. I am so grateful Shane Phelps was referred to me, and I highly recommend him to you.

I never leave reviews, but Shane Phelps, Samantha and his entire team are the absolute best! He explained everything to me clearly and told me what could happen either way (good or bad). He gave me a best case AND worst case scenario, and was even very honest with me not to get my hopes up on an expungement (best case scenario). We?ll, Shane got it dismissed and it will be completely expunged from my record a year from the date of the incident. Every case is obviously different and mine turned out great, but that?s not the only reason I gave 5-stars. His entire team were so kind and kept me informed and let me know they would be there to help me through all of this good or bad news. Worth every single penny! Turned a horrible incident into something in my past that I can now leave in my past. Thank you!

I hired Shane Phelps Law firm for an early dismissal of my probation. Other firms would not take my case or believed it would not be possible. However Shane Phelps Law accepted my case and handled it professionally. There was constant communication about any updates for the matter. Definitely would recommend this firm because of their professionalism.

I was arrested for a DUI by University police even though I agreed to, and passed, the breathalyzer. I was very nervous about how a bogus arrest could impact my livelihood. Shane had a great bedside manner, listened to my scenario, and gave advice that turned out to be exactly what happened. He even reached out to the DA on my behalf free of charge. I felt so much better after initially speaking with him and especially after receiving the call that my case had been refused. I wholeheartedly recommend Shane and his team. Samantha is great as well, super communicative and knowledgeable. 2 gig'ems!

If you or your child ever has the misfortune of finding themselves entangled in Texas A&M's Academic Integrity process do yourself a favor and hire Shane Phelps. We were caught in a situation that seemed to have no resolution. Despite our child's innocence, we could not get anyone from the University to listen to us or give us any opportunity to state our case. It wasn't until we got Mr. Phelps involved that there was any movement in the case. Mr. Phelps knowledge of the University processes, people and solid plan to address the accusations against us were critical to ultimately getting the accusations dropped. Without a doubt, Mr. Phelps was the reason we ultimately persevered. I would strongly recommend Mr. Phelps and his team.

Choosing Mr. Shane Phelps for my case has been the best decision ever! I would highly recommend Mr. Phelps as during my interaction with him over the past 5 years I have been amazed by the knowledge he posses, his willingness to help people and help them get justice, and above all I am glad I trusted him completely in whatever decisions he took on my case. 5 years ago, when the incident happened, I was clueless. I did not know Mr. Phelps prior to that incident and an internet search and amazing reviews made me call him late at night (probably 11 pm). He did answer the phone and explained everything then and there! We were panicked, but he was patient and gave us hope and the way ahead. I had never been in such a situation before and now when I am out of college and working and facing immigration paperwork, I realize each day how Mr. Phelps' help on my case has cleared all obstacles and gave me the freedom with respect to getting a job, working wherever I want and on immigration matters too. Definitely someone I would trust blindly!

I left a message with an associate at Mr. Phelps' office explaining a legal situation with our son at college. We had never met or spoken with him before; he was recommended by a legal friend of ours. Mr. Phelps personally returned my call within an hour. After a lengthy telephone conversation, he was able to give us immeasurably valuable information for my son. Mr. Phelps tone and words during our conversation were both honest and reassuring. My family can not express how much we appreciate his prompt, knowledgeable help and guidance in our situation.

My son and his roommates made a single poor choice to host a party which then got too large (Covid times) and was railroaded by both the College Station PD and Texas A&M. Shane Phelps and his team addressed both issues and did so with skill and compassion. Shane is much more than a skilled Attorney, he is an honestly good man.

It was a blessing from God that I found Mr. Phelps as my attorney. I met with Mr. Phelps day after I came out of bond. Within two weeks charges against me were dropped. I'll be thankful to Mr. Phelps forever. I would recommend him to anyone without any doubt.

Shane Phelps was a ray of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed almost impossible. Not only was he able to protect us from an unjust accusation, his calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional support to myself and those I care about most. My daughter and I are eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Shane Phelps without reservation.

I had made a series of business mistakes which I owned up to and attempted to resolve outside the court system. Unfortunately, 4 individuals did not want to work toward resolution and filed criminal charges. My first attorney worked toward resolution of the charges; but then died. The attorney appointed by the court to take over for the deceased attorney had no idea what had happened in the cases, what was happening in the cases, etc. All of the above resulted in these matters pending for over 4 years. Finally, on February 21, 2020 I meet with Shane to go over ?where matters stood?. And while it was hard to spend the money on his fee (remember he was my 3rd attorney on this matter), I decided to retain him. On March 20, 2020 ? only 1 month after being retained - the matter was resolved. And resolved under terms very, very favorable to me. For me this qualified as a miracle. So, I would urge anyone who needs help in a criminal matter to pay whatever it takes to have Shane represent you. He knows what to do ? he knows how to do it ? and he does it timely. One could not ask for anymore.

Shane, Donnie and Samantha were the perfect choice for my family. My son made a bad choice over Christmas break, and they were readily available with anything we needed. Shane was out of the country when we initially reached out, and still he took the time to talk to me several times on the phone . Donnie met us up at the office on a Saturday evening to advise us, because we were frantic. They truly care about the entire family. We ended up hiring the firm. With their advice and God?s loving mercy, my son wasn?t charged . I highly recommend this law firm .

We highly recommend Mr. Phelps and his staff. Mr. Phelps' legal expertise, his professionalism, his understanding of a college student making a poor decision - helped save our only child's life. The issue was tough to walk through, it took a long time, but in the end - Mr. Phelps is the one who made it all possible. Mr. Phelps and staff were always very kind, supportive, explained issues fully, and we knew that we had hired the best firm, no matter what we thought the outcome might be. In the end, the final outcome was a blessing, and better than we expected. In our opinion, Mr. Phelps is the very best attorney, and we are so grateful that we were able to work with him during our difficult time.

Shane Phelps and his team did an INCREDIBLE job on a complicated and lengthy case. Shane's results were outstanding. I could not have asked for a better outcome. Shane's persistence defending me was remarkable. As the scope of the case evolved over time, Shane was flexible, fair, and easy to work with. Shane is extremely experienced, he has relationships that matter, and a presence in the courtroom that is magical. Shane is undoubtedly the best attorney I have ever worked with and I believe he?s the very best criminal defense lawyer in the State of Texas.

Throughout the entire process, Shane and his team (Samantha, Bryan, and others) kept me up to date, were concise in what was needed from me, enabling Shane to knock it out of the park in trial.

I was arrested for DUI by the TAMU police department. Reilly Garrett was there for me through the whole process. From modifying my bond conditions. To winning my motion to suppress. Thanks to the hard work of him and his team. My charges were dropped. He fought tirelessly for me. Reilly fights for you, and wins for you!
