The team at Shrader Law did an exceptional job of handling my case. The cliche dishonest lawyer stereotypes cannot be used at all to describe Shrader Law. The team was entirely honest with me and advised me along the right path for my benefit, even though going on a different path may have won them more income. Most importantly, they won the case for me in a very short amount of time compared to what was predicted. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about my experience with Shrader Law. I felt confident and informed throughout the process.
Very to the point in defending whatever is attempting to harm you.
He was respectful and incredibly responsive to my situation. Very skilled and was able to take care of things allowing for me. Since I have never needed legal help before he put me at ease and made things the best they could be given the circumstances. I would highly recommend Brian if you are ever in need and feel at a loss as to where to turn.

It is with great pleasure and pride that I am afforded an opportunity to speak of Shrader Law and the caliber of representation I have received on numerous occasions. Both Gus and Brian are of the upmost ethical, forth right and just attorneys I know. He has stood beside me, answered any questions that I had and put to rest any concerns that arose. They advised me on decisions I needed to make with care and honesty. Working in the legal industry myself, I have a first had knowledge of how stressful lawsuits can be for all parties involved. I can say that I truly slept well at night knowing he was by my side. I will continue to turn to Shrader Law for anything that may present itself in the future. I am assured to whatever end result I know that I was represented with the best law team I could have ever asked for.
Brian Shrader belongs in court much like a fish belongs in water. He's a natural. Mr. Shrader is an extremely talented criminal defense attorney who honed his skills back when he was a state prosecutor. But that's not all. He's a force to be reckoned with, whether handling a criminal, consumer protection or commercial litigation matter. In my dealings with Mr. Shrader, I've noticed that he's extremely results-oriented. For clients, THAT'S the kind of lawyer you want. I am honored to unequivocally recommend Brian.
Awesome attorneys....Thanks for all your services...I can not say it enough if you need help this is the only law firm to call
Mr. Shrader made sure that I was not taken advantage of. He spoke up for me to make sure I was heard. He made sure I knew what was going on before he spoke also what the outcome was when he finished. He stayed in contact with me throughout the whole ordeal. Great lawyer.
