Oh my god! I cannot begin to tell you how helpful this firm has been. I am going to recommend this firm for anyone who needs an amazing personal injury lawyer! We live in Liberty Hill and didn’t want to go into Austin for counsel, nice to find someone knowledgeable and trustworthy in our area. Kudos to Shanna Valentine.
Great team. Shanna is just amazing, she helped with everything and provided great advice. She also cares about you. If I ever needed their services again, I would without a doubt go to them. I have already recommended them to others. This team helped me with an automobile case and walked me through every step.
I was in a motor vehicle accident, hit by another driver. My car was totaled out. Feeling pressured to make decisions I started doing some Google searches for an attorney, I came across Ely, Valentine & Reed. Ms. Valentine listened thoroughly and was very patient with me and updated me with all the information that I needed to provide to her and her team. Both Ms. Valentine and Ms. Moni did not waste any time getting things done in order for timely filing of documents. From start to finish this team of Professionals, are kind, honest, and very patient and got the job done. I appreciated all their help and guidance. I am very thankful they were there to help me.
Ely ,Valentine and Reed were recommended to me by a friend after i was injured in a car accident . I couldn’t be happier with their work. I gave them all the doctor bills and police report and they did the rest. No muss no fuss. Will definitely use them again if needed . Special thanks to Shanna. Eddie S.
Wonderful firm! The attorneys and staff are professional, quickly responsive to questions. They helped make a tough situation (dog bite) easier to manage. They treat you like you are long time friends; very warm and welcoming. If I could give them 10 or 100 stars, I would. 🤠
I recently reached out to Shanna after being hit by a company vehicle. Fortunately, I wasn’t injured, but she advised me to file a diminished value claim with their insurance, a concept I had never even heard of before. After doing some research, I followed her advice, submitted a claim, and ended up receiving an additional check, simply for asking!
What stands out to me is that Shanna offered this valuable guidance without me even needing to hire her. It truly speaks to her dedication and the way she looks out for her clients, always ensuring they have the knowledge and support they need. I can’t recommend her enough!
Shanna and her team are like no other law firm! Their attention to detail and personal connection you get by working with them is unmatched. The EVR team is my go-to personal injury firm.
