The Law Office of Laura Sheppard

Introduction: Charged with a misdemeanor, DUI, or juvenile delinquency offense? Need to appeal a criminal ruling, expunge an old conviction, seal a juvenile record, or fight a probation or parole violation? Don't want to use the Public Defender (or don't qualify), but don't have a lot of money to pay the big guys? The Law Firm of Laura Sheppard will handle your case from arraignment (first appearance before a judge) to verdict, for a low price. A low retainer (as low as $400 in some cases) will pay for any and all court appearances on a misdemeanor, including filings, and consultation time, everything, short of trial. If we go to trial, prep and trial time is billed on a sliding scale, starting as low as $45 an hour. Felonies are only slightly more! Discounts for juveniles, just because I love working with youth. Juvenile trials are also much shorter, because a jury is rarely used. Try finding that price at a big law firm! Attorney Laura Sheppard is a fighter, with two years criminal defense experience and dynamite writing and litigation skills, who will prioritize your case and explain everything to you in language you can understand. You will get the best possible result, for less than the big firms! Willing to travel to all San Diego county court houses, and travel to you and/or your family for consultation and preparation. My firm also does estate planning such as wills, trusts, powers of attorney, trust administration (upon the death of the trust settlor). I can also consult or represent a parent in a dependency or child custody matter in juvenile or family court. Contact me with your legal need - I'll either be able to assist you, or refer you to someone who can!
