Reviews

  • Cole Braswell

    Erica Byrum was very confident before the trial started and rightly so. She knew exactly what to say, even when evidence was just provided to her 10 minutes before the trial started. God forbid I'll need it, but in the future I hope I can count on her help again.

  • Julia “Hulia” Sherrill

    I was very much seeking advice on a family matter and Attorney Shames was very forthright and eased my mind.

  • Todd Hart
