"I don't write many reviews because quite honestly, I don't see the purpose in them. However, after my experience with Mr. Shin, I had to write this. Joe was amazing! From the very first time I contacted him, he put me at ease. He assured me everything was going to be fine despite my doubts. He was easily accessible when I needed to make contact. Hiring a CRIMINAL attorney, let alone any kind of attorney is probably the last thing I ever thought I would need to do. But I'm so glad I found Joe and hired him."

"I had a horrible experience with Joe Shin over 2+ years. Contact me for details. He absolutely harmed my cases through his negligence and laziness. Check is Avvo reviews (he has them disabled). He went to a bottom 25% Law School and it took him 3 years after graduating to pass the Texas BAR exam. He didn't return a phone call for over 1.5 years until I fired him with a Motion documenting his behavior. When dealing with Joe Shin, know he will lie to you and that you need to document everything with him. Buy a voice recorder and record all your conversations. Make sure to get things in writing from him. He's so incompetent, he will bait and switch you on details like he'll tell you 6-months on an offer when it's really 12-month and such. He has a terrible memory, he can't remember details, he doesn't look at evidence, he's really a terrible lawyer and hugely incompetent. He's also a solo practice with no backup. Very risky to use this clueless attorney for your defense."

"Short story: Bottom tier public defender at best, highly incompetent and unethical. Joe Shin is the type of inept lawyer that will promise the world despite his inability and then leave you waiting for years for a terrible result. In my cases, Joe Shin didn't even look at the discovery. Joe Shin failed to follow through on every single commitment he made. The guy is so clueless he couldn't even figure out what my bond conditions are. Never pay for this guy, and if he's assigned as your public defender, I would suggest you try very hard to get someone else. You can expect Joe to corroborate with the State against your best interests, in furtherance of his laziness."

"I called several lawyers before I found Joe Shin and none of them either wanted to be bothered with my case or had already gave up while on the phone and said well you can just do jail time it's only like 3 months as if i didn't know that instead of fighting my case because im innocent. Joe was different he put me at ease and said we will not stop untill it's dropped or dismissed. If you are in trouble i urge you to call Joe Shin."

"I highly recommend Joe Shin for your legal needs. Joe is incredibly professional and also personable at the same time. He took his time explaining my legal options and kept me updated constantly throughout the case. I felt confident in Joe's ability to handle my legal issues from the moment I met him and he never let me down. I can't recommend this guy enough. Thanks Joe for your hard work."
