If you have been charged with a crime, then your freedom could be at stake. Finding an attorney that will give you the best representation and protect your rights is critical.

Facing a criminal offense can not only be overwhelming and stressful, but it can also be life altering. Incarceration and a permanent criminal record are possible consequences of a criminal charge. Furthermore, a criminal record could affect your ability to gain employment, keep your current job, and further your education. Shanone understands these consequences.

ESTATE PLANNING

An estate plan helps assure that the disposition of your assets is carried out according to your wishes.
