Law Office of Erin Shinn, PLLC

As luck would have it, I got a phone call from APD stating that my younger sister had been arrested on a DWI charge. Although I planned on leaving her there for at least the weekend to teach her a lesson (tough love — don’t judge!), my father was in town that weekend and on Saturday he decided that he couldn’t stand the thought of his baby being in jail.
After a recommendation and a search, I called Erin early on a Saturday. I didn’t think I was going to be able to reach anyone, let alone speak to someone immediately. Erin answered! She got my sister out immediately. I was expecting to need to do stuff and for it to be a hassle but I didn’t have to do anything. I asked about the cost (I was nervous because I had heard how expensive attorneys were for this) and she was super reasonable. I was anticipating it to be substantially higher.
Although, she wasn’t able to speak to me anymore about her case (client confidentiality), I followed up with my sister and she stated that Erin had great communication with her, was really involved, and said that she was very professional in court proceedings and make sure she was always fully aware of what was going on.
Long story short, it sucks needing legal counsel for anything — but if you do, you should probably call Erin.

Erin was awesome. She took my case on short notice, and had my occupational license approved for all counties in Texas in just a couple of days! She also had it extended for me at no additional charge when I needed it for a year instead of 6 months. Great experience during a rough situation!

I contacted Erin Shinn by referral from Austin’s court system. I live in San Antonio now and was worried about communicating with a lawyer about my criminal charge. She immediately begin looking into my case and had basic knowledge by the time I met her in person to deliver payment. Erin was a great attorney from the start, fighting for the best she could get for me. As a server, I have slow months and she worked with my budget on payments and never stopped going for the best. Even after it was determined that I could but get a dismissal but would be on probation, she continued to fight for the best situation for me and my needs. Erin. Shinn is a woman who is not only passionate about her job but also cares about her clients. I’m happy to continue paying her every month. Even now she has checked on me to let me know that if my probation officer ever gives me stipulations that are unreasonable she will go to the judge on my behalf. I will always consider a referral from Erin Shinn and I recommend her to anyone needing a criminal attorney in Travis County.

Last summer my brother was arrested and I immediately started searching for a lawyer. I was on websites requesting quotes and help and Erin was one of the lawyers who contacted me. I IMMEDIATELY felt at ease when she contacted me and she sounded like she really knew her stuff! Then I had a conversation with her over the phone and she was very confident and I knew right away that she would really help us out. The result of her representation was amazing as well! She worked quickly and even late to get him out and safe at home. Then continued to work his case and worked out an awesome bargain with the court for my brother. I must say I was impressed and it was such a relief to have her working on my brothers case. Would definitely recommend!
