Personal Injury Law
If you have been injured in a car wreck or another type of accident, do not assume that the insurance company of the at-fault party will treat you fairly. Insurance companies are concerned about their bottom lines and nothing else. The insurance company will not look out for your best interests. Your lawyer will.
Family Law
Family-related issues and domestic disputes are typically sensitive issues for all parties involved. Few people are aware, for example, that their cell phone text messages, computer records and even the websites they visit on the Internet can be recovered and introduced as evidence in their cases. Attorney Kevin W. Shepherd is a strong advocate and is experienced on issues involving co-parenting and asset division. To protect your interests, contact a lawyer before you have been served with divorce papers.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
