Under Promise, Over Deliver

Back in 2015 one of my friends was passing through the Nashville area for a concert and got pulled over and charged with a DUI. He had several other complications with his case including an open container and a few firearms which were confiscated. Living several states away, the ordeal was already going to be a massive pain. My friend tried to stick it out with the public defender, but after just two meetings he knew he was going to be forced to take a very bad plea.

When he told me his story, I knew his case had some holes, he was not being treated fairly, and the courts had already wrongfully assumed him guilty. I offered to front him his legal fees. So one night we sat and sifted through innumerable reviews and webpages for Nashville attorneys. He settled on calling Shipman & Crim and two other attorneys the next morning.

After his first conversation with Joel Crim, he felt a lot better about the case and knew he wanted to retain Shipman & Crim. Joel called me up a few days later, took the trial fee up over the phone and mentioned he obviously couldn't promise a win. I totally get it, I say. "He just deserves a better chance than hes got."

A few months and two trips to Nashville by my friend later, and the case had been won. Not only did he get a not-guilty verdict for the DUI, but Joel demanded the guns back immediately after the case was over. My friend was able to get in his car and leave the state for good with his possessions within an hour after his case was over.

Due to his clean record, my friend was able to find a new job in public service. He's doing a whole lot better now.

He tells me the cops in Nashville are so bad that he may never go back again. I know one thing though, if I ever have trouble in that area, I know exactly who I'm calling.

Thanks again, Joel.

My name is Adam and my experience with Joel from Shipman & Crim was excellent!! The effort and care he put in to my situation made me feel very comfortable and most importantly he took care of everything for me. I "highly" recommend him and/or his firm for representation.

After setting up a plea deal to get my car back, the officers at the county jail were not going to give my vehicle back, even though it was part of the deal. Michael spent around six hours running back and forth to the court to insure that everything was handled properly. Even though I was pressed with an extremely stressful situation, Michael was able to take care of everything and get it resolved. I could not have asked for a better outcome, or a better attorney.

Great Experience

When the need came for me to retain counsel, I was really worried as I lived in Georgia and the need was in Nashville, TN. Therefore, I knew finding and attorney that I felt comfortable with and felt would handle my son's case with care would not be easy. However, I found Shipman and Crim and had the wonderful experience of working with Joel Crim. From my initial conversation with Joel, I developed a comfort level that made it easy for me to retain the services of his firm. Joel took the time to explain all the circumstances of my son's case to both my son and myself and made things easy for the both of us to understand.Because of the time that Joel took with my son and ensuring that we both remained informed, much of the anxiety that we had in the beginning disappeared. What was even better was that on the day of my son's court date, Joel asked us to meet him outside of the courtroom 15 minuted before the required reporting time. Little did we know that once we arrived, Joel would have a surprise for us which was that he already had met with the DA and he had already worked out a resolution to my son's case. It was awesome. The resolution that Joel was able to broker with the DA was even better than any outcome that we had predicted. Because of Joel and his work, my son still has the opportunity to continue his life without any trace of the mistake he made on his criminal record.



Joel, we thank you and because of the quality of service we received, we highly recommend Shipman & Crim to those who may find themselves in need of counsel.

great

There great really this is my first good review for anyone so theyre worth me to take my time to Post thanks guys

 by Dan

Dealing with criminal charges is an incredibly stressful process. Despite the support of friends and family, it feels like the entire system is against you and it is difficult to know whom to trust. Michael Shipman was an absolute godsend in this regard.



A far cry from the type of lawyer who meticulously ticks down each minute, Mr. Shipman gave me everything I needed and was incredibly fair throughout the process, going above and beyond the call of duty at every step. Every phone call with Mr. Shipman left me feeling better than before. He was truly a friend during this difficult time and I couldn't recommend his services enough.



In the end, everything turned out significantly better than I could have ever hoped for, thank you so much,

Class Acts

Going through a tough personal situation can be hard on anyone. Finding the right person to help and trust is a tricky job if you really want someone who cares and gives you appropriate attention. My man Michael Shipman was my SAVIOR during my struggles. He made me feel comfortable as if we'd been friends for years. So happy to have this class act guy in my phone from now on. Can't thank him enough for standing by my side. I say again... CLASS ACT! Thanks Michael. Jordan T

Joel is an A+ attorney but even better than that when we talk it feels like I am talking to a friend and that is rare. This guy has had long phone conversations with me and I never felt like he was trying to get rich off my bad luck. He always answers texts. He consulted with me for over a year on a legal matter I knew would eventually come to a head. My case is ongoing so I won't get into the details. I am a worrier but this is something that I am not worried a bit about. When I got arrested and had to sit in jail I never worried a min and a few days in. He came to tell me he not only worked out a great outcome but he got my court date moved up and that I could get out the very next day and thats exactly what happened. I know he has a ton of clients but never once did he make me feel like what I needed wasn't important. I would have thought I was his only client. I really consider him a friend now and I know if he's on my side he will go above and beyond and get the best possible outcome that there can be. I am so thankful for him. If you choose Joel you won't be disappointed. I wish I could give him 100 stars but 5 will have to do.Joel, if you ever need me for anything just say the word I am forever in your debt.read more

I have known Joel Crim for years now. There has been many instances where I looked to him for legal council for not just me, but for my close family members, my clients, and also friends. He has helped them all as if they were me and I did not have to worry and it was already known there would be excellent feedback. Many times he has guided me on legal matters just for my well being. Never looking for a way to make money from a dire situation, but more than once has brought me out of troubled scenarios and only asked for me to buy him lunch when I was in financial hardship. He has gone over and beyond what I’ve asked him to do, with my best interests in mind above all else. I have found myself in a few sticky situations in my younger years and he helped to make light of those grim circumstances and then handled them in the most professional way possible in the courtroom, guiding me along the way and saving my life into adulthood in the process. Legal matters can be very concerning and detrimental to ones livelihood and I can say I enjoyed working with him throughout each and every endeavor. He always made sure that I had the optimal outcome in every situation for me and those closest to me that were referred to him. I recommend him to the people that I care about most, without a doubt in my mind they are in the best hands in the business.read more

I do not even know where to start! Joel is the absolute best lawyer I have ever met. I spoke to many lawyers after being arrested for a spurious felony charge by MNPD. After speaking to Joel it was clear that he was my guy. I was initially afraid but speaking to Joel was so comforting, I felt like I was speaking to family. He took care of me and knew exactly what to do. My case was dismissed and is now in the process of being expunged. Joel is excellent at communicating, has years of experience in Nashville, Knows exactly what to do, is very kind, humble, and you won't find anyone more fair.read more

Joel Crim has handled a couple of cases for me in the last three years. Both times, he returned my initial calls promptly, got the necessary information, and got right to work. He was very honest with me and provided good advice based on his prior experience. Both cases were resolved quickly and in a satisfactory manner.read more

As my first experience in the world of attorneys, I think Joel was the best I could have found. He was easy to reach by phone email and even text messaging and promptly got back to me. He was able to explain my case in a way I could understand and put my worries at ease by answering all of my questions. He critically assessed my case, presented me with all of my options, and ultimately left the decisions up to me. Joel sees value value in clients and works to vindicate them. I am so grateful for his hard work and help.read more
