I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Gilbert Shelby. Not only a compassionate lawyer he took the time to come to my home when I was needing a lawyer for my case. He was respectful and very compassionate which is needed by a professional. And also a friend. I would recommend this firm highly for any need you may have for what ever reason. My case came out on top because I found a wonderful firm! Thank-you so much!
