Legal ResearchMost small firms and solo practitioners don’t have the resources to hire a full-time law clerk. That’s where we come in. Investigating an area of law with which you’re unfamiliar? Put us on it! We will provide the answers you need with quick turnaround and a bill that won’t break the bank. Need the Statute of Limitations for a personal injury case involving a minor in Minnesota? A list of the prominent cases involving promissory estoppel in Michigan? An analysis of identity theft statutes? Give us a call. We can do as little or as much as you need. Evidence TransferYour client comes to you. He hands you a knife covered in blood. “I killed a guy,” he says, “with this knife.” Now you’ve got a problem. You have to give the knife to the police. If you don’t, you’re concealing evidence. But if you give the knife to the police yourself, you’ve got another problem: if your client is arrested and you show up for court, the prosecutor will know the knife came from your client, and now you’ve got a potential breach of client confidentiality. In Michigan, the solution is to hire a third-party attorney to deliver the knife on your behalf. Police cannot obtain your name from this third-party attorney without violating attorney-client privilege. And if they can’t connect the knife to you, they can’t connect it to your client through you. Thus, you’ve fulfilled both your obligation under the law to turn over the evidence and your obligation to keep your client’s secrets. The choice then becomes which attorney you will choose. The best choice is an attorney whose professional and social networks won’t lead police and prosecutors back to you. Someone who includes this type of service as part of his regular practice. In short, someone like Steven Shelton at Shelton Legal Services, PLLC. For a very reasonable fee, we will ensure that your evidence is transferred anonymously, quickly, and professionally, wherever in Michigan it may need to go. Your identity will be secure, and so will your client’s. Line-upsLine-ups present a different problem for criminal defense attorneys. Your client needs his attorney there to make sure the line-up isn’t unnecessarily suggestive or otherwise problematic, but you can’t be there because of the danger of becoming a witness in your own case. The solution? Hire a third party attorney to attend the line-up. Choose Shelton Legal Services, and you’ll get an attorney who will show up on time, prepared to keep an eagle eye on the proceedings and to take meticulous notes that will help you feel as if you were actually there. Contract WorkNeed a second chair on the big case? Got two hearings scheduled on the same day in different counties, and neither judge will adjourn? Need local counsel to draft a brief on a particular part of your motion, or to conduct a deposition? Whatever your need, we can help. Put us on for a day or for the duration of your case. We’ll be glad to help, you’ll be glad you chose us. More importantly, so will your clients.
