I reached out to Mr. Short several times for consultation for my custody case over the years and he always provided great advise and was always looking to resolve issues that wouldn't require fees. Recently I had my last hearing on the matter and decided to retain Mr. Short. Being another state, recent loss of my husband and extreme stress having him over see my case was a huge help. He was able to resolve it in one day and take away the burden of going through a court case. I highly recommend his services!

I had the opportunity to be represented by Mr.Short and I would like to say that I was very pleased with my experience! Mr. Short went above and beyond in handling my case. What truly stood out was how much he seemed to genuinely care about me as a person, not just about winning my case. I believe he sees people for who they are instead of seeing them as just a client or someone who broke the law. The advice he gave me, felt like it was coming from a friend and it showed me that I made the right decision in choosing him. He took the time to listen, understand my concerns, and guide me through one of the most stressful times of my life with patience and kindness. His compassion and dedication gave me peace of mind, and I felt truly supported every step of the way. I couldn’t have asked for better representation and would highly recommend Mr. Short to anyone in need of not just an excellent lawyer, but a caring advocate.

Mr Short helped my son and I with information to help him to get out jail for Christmas. Out of 4 lawyers that I called he was the only one that gave me the right information instead of telling me he would be there till after Christmas. He even called me the next day to see how everything went. I have told my son that he would be the best lawyer to represent him in court because he will do his very best to help him with the courts. Thank you very much Mr Short again for helping us.

Mr. Short was extremely patient during the divorce process. There were several changes to occur over a year long battle regarding paperwork, but in the end, I was pleased overall with the outcome. I highly recommend his services as a divorce attorney.
