Can say enough great things about Lawrence and the team! Thank u guys 100%!

Lawrence shotwell is an excellent attorney.highly recommend.hes is reasonably priced and does what he says..The judge came back with a not guilty verdic. Thank you lawrence shotwell

This was my first encounter with the law. Fortunately for me, I hired Mr. Shotwell for legal assistance. A retired judge from New Hanover County recommended Mr. Shotwell. I think that says a lot already... Hands down one of the best investments I've made. I was charged with a serious offense that could've potentially derailed my future at a young age. However, Mr. Shotwell and I went to trial and he utilized "Shotwell motion" strategy to our advantage. All evidence against me was suppressed which led to all charges being dropped. Mr. Shotwell is dedicated to help you in every way he can. I was very impressed with his professionalism and expertise and I would highly recommend this law firm.

Been having Mr. Shotwell for a Attorney since 1999. He is so genuine and shows so much concern. I have never been dissapointed but Wednesday was amazing he was able to get 4 felons dismissed even with me having a record. He is truly the best. Don't waste money on no one else, he's the man. Thanks to Mrs Lucy for always returning my calls. Hands down 5

Atty Shotwell did a great job answering our questions and helping us through a difficult process as well as representing us in court. Atty Spale was also there when we needed him. Would recommend both to anyone who needs great representation.

Never actually had his services, I am more disappointed with the reception. I called initially and asked a few questions regarding a possible misdemeanor charge and the receptionist was very detached, somewhat rude and uninterested. A week later, I decided to call the office again and there was no answer so I decided to leave a voicemail and left my information because I was interested in pursuing my case with Shotwell. I never received a call back and that was very disappointing.

Best lawyer in Wilmington. Got me out of my charges, not to expensive either. I definitely recommend shotwell to anyone.

No complaints. Promptly responded to my questions even through text. Did what I paid him to do. I obviously hope to never have to hire a lawyer again, but if I do, it will surely be Mr. Shotwell.

I highly recommend Mr Shotwell, excellent advising and representing his clients.

Awesome lawyer!! Wasn't expensive, kept me up to date with everything that was happening and what I needed to do, and handled my case perfectly... Outcome, "Not Guilty"!! Amazing job..... Very grateful!!

Best lawyer ever. Came in to see him about a case i had last minute and he got it dismissed for me like he said he would. Highly recommended!

Blake Spale is a great attorney. Very responsive in answering questions that related to my case via email. Helped to get charges dismissed and avoid court fees. Knowledgeable and friendly with folks in the courtroom. The office staff, namely Lucy, is helpful with reminders and scheduling. Highly recommend Blake.

Great lawyer that does what he says he will!

Can't thank Mr.Shotwell enough for his efforts representing me, he is Very professional and made me feel very comfortable about my case. He got my assault with a deadly weapon charge dimissed! Highly recommended.

Very good, kept out of trouble for a felony violation.

Attorney Shotwell is a pro! He knows exactly what he’s doing and is excellent at it. I highly recommend him.

Lawrence is the best attorney I've ever met. His personality exudes authenticity. He's highly recommended by many I see. I will definitely use him for my situation and be most pleased and less stressed. Way to go Lawrence! Thanks a million!!!

Simply Amazing Lawyers to work with truly care. Thank You for your help!

The experience as a whole was smooth and very professional. Lawrence was easy to communicate with through the process and was successful in representing me in court. Would definitely recommend to anyone in need.

He was wonderful! Honest, dependable and got my case dismissed! I was facing prison time! Thank u! U r awesome!

Great lawyer. Highly recommend for any criminal defense cases!

Great staff from the receptionist all the way to the top! Lawrence helps make the absolute best of a bad situation. If I could give 10 stars I would. Thanks for all the help!

If I could give this law firm 10 stars I would! They really raised the bar for exceptional service. Lawrence was always available for any questions and concerns I had. He handled my case with grace and force that gave me the best result I could have asked for. He definitely knows what he is doing and you would be in the best hands in town if you decide to hire him (just go ahead and do it, you won't regret it!) He is reasonably priced, considerate of your situation with no judgment, and makes you feel confident going into a very intimidating situation known as court.

Amazing work!!! Shotwell has helped both my father and my husband. He is an excellent lawyer. Very professional and a great personality. So glad we chose him!!!!

The Shotwell Group is outstanding. Handled my case and got it resolved. Very professional and knowledgeable.

Best law firm on the east coast, Mr. Shotwell is one of the most intelligent attorney's you'll find anywhere. Insightful and astute as they come. And he possess a quality you might not expect from a man with the killer instincts you need in court; compassion! He genuinely cares about his clients.

I’ve received representation by Mr. Blake Spale of Shotwell Law on two occasions. He was able to dismiss a simple misdemeanor on the first with me basically doing nothing, and was able to dismiss a DUI (even though I wasn’t 21 at the time of the incident) on the other. All while I had a pending felony in another county (later also dismissed and Blake worked great with my other attorney to stay in touch with information). Great communication, he was always easily accessible through phone or text, and always got the job done with confidence. The office always give me a few days notice before court dates which is awesome. 10/10 recommend.

I hired attorney Blake Spale. He helped way beyond expectations with my D.U.I. case. He provided A complete walk through for my after court instruction an kept check on me for confirmed completion. Highly recommended!!!!

I want to start by saying that I am in no way someone who ever feels the need to write reviews, whether it be a positive or negative experience, but after working with Blake these past few months, and the outcome we reached this afternoon in court, I felt that there was no possible way I couldn't. This being the first time I've ever required the services of an attorney in no way keeps me from being absolutely confident that not only did i make the right choice, I definitely made the ONLY choice for representation in Wilmington. From my very first call to the office( in which i spoke directly with Blake himself) I couldnt have been more sure of that. These two are, in my opinion, not only the best counsel in town, but two of the most intelligent, down to earth people i have ever met, please take my advice, before you waste your time, do yourself a favor and go with Shotwell law group. I couldnt be more grateful that i did.

All I have to say is, absolutely the best!!

I cannot say enough good things about Shotwell Law Group! I was facing a pretty serious charge of hit and run after hitting the side view mirror of a parked car with mine while driving down the street. Because I saw no damage anywhere on the street or to any car, I didn’t really know what to do. I did report the accident but not until later that day and I was facing a hit and run charge. I’ve never been in any kind of legal trouble before but I was able to talk to Mr. Shotwell right away and he put my mind at ease by explaining everything to me and letting me know what I needed to do every step of the way. His office staff was also very helpful in getting and receiving any documents that needed to be transferred between us. I didn’t even have to appear at my court date but got a call letting me know my charge was dropped and that was all. I cannot thank Mr. Shotwell and his office staff enough for being so cool, so easy to deal with- for their professionalism, promptness and of course for getting my charge dropped. If you’re not sure if you need a lawyer or can’t decide which one to choose, please at least give Mr. Shotwell a call before you decide. I’m so glad I did. Thank you, Mr. Shotwell!!

Attorney Shotwell did an amazing job for me. He was straight with me.He answered all my questions. He told how I could help my case. He was able to get my DWI dismissed, not guilty.

I am a Wilmington student moved here from China, every time I get in trouble here Mr. Shotwell has always got my back. I tell all my friends that has legal troubles to go to Mr. Shotwell. In my opinion he is the best lawyer in the area.

Lawrence was the best decision my family could have made. He represented me during a DUI case that was tricky to begin with. Not only did he prove me not guilty but served justice with integrity, swiftness and a positive attitude. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer.

Great attorney and very professional staff.

The Shotwell Law Group represented me regarding a DWI/DWLR. Mr. Shotwell handled my case with respect and informed me fully of what leagal issues I could be facing. When my court date came Mr. Shotwell has my cases thrown out of court. The best law firm I’ve ever used. He fights for his clients, and doesn’t just plea bargain/settle for something easy. Thank you for all you did.

This firm is professional and gets good results for their clients. The entire staff work well together to help resolve problems. I trust that they do what they say. If you need legal help, this place is the real deal.

A truly wonderful service. As with any law office, I have my reservations, but these people shattered any doubt I had. Everything was professional and timely, and I never felt as if I had been forgotten about. Mr. Shotwell broke my expectations, and provided me an excellent defense in court. Thank you, guys!

I received a traffic ticket and to be honest i forgot all about it. Once I realized i was in jeopardy of losing my license and based on a referral of a friend I called the Shotwell Law Firm. Well all it took was one phone call. We spoke for about 10 minutes and the situation was resolved. The Shotwell Law Firm was very professional and courteous. I would highly recommend them if you find yourself in legal trouble.

I was actually recommended by a friend to have Blake Spale represent me and he has exceeded my expectations every single time. Mr. Spale has helped me on multiple cases and has got them either reduced or dismissed me for every time no problem. I would not recommend any other lawyer in town. He is the best hands down! He knows his stuff and the friendly reminder emails and calls from the staff are extremely helpful in keeping up with my cases. Everyone there is very professional and they make you feel right at home when you’re in the office. If you guys need a reliable attorney, Mr. Spale is the guy to call!

Blake Spale is like a casino, the house always wins! I could not be any happier with the out come of his representation. The entire Shotwell law group was a pleasure to work with, the reminder e-mail's and phone calls to update me of what was going on regularly was extremely helpful as well.

Lawrence handled our case perfectly resulting in a dismissal. Best possible scenario. Another local attorney offered to represent us at a higher cost. We are so happy we chose the Lawrence Shotwell firm. Highly recommend!

I was dealing with a case for almost two years over a petty charge, I called Mr.Shotwell and explained my situation and he got it dismissed on the first court date. Super friendly people. I will recommend them to anyone and everyone. Love this law firm.

Lawrence Shotwell was highly recommended by a friend and I was not disappointed. From the first call, I knew I had chosen the right attorney. The case was "destruction to personal property" so this wasn't a simple traffic violation. Lawrence explained the process and possible scenarios thoroughly during the first visit. His demeanor and candor made me feel very comfortable- (like an old friend was going to take care of things for me). I just left the courthouse today and the case was dismissed! Things could not have went more smoothly. I highly recommend his firm and actually plan to use him again to resolve another issue. Would give 100 ⭐️'s if had the option. Thank you Lawrence!!! Kiki Bourbeau (Greenville)

Awsome lawyer knows what hes doing....even took time to communicate with me due to my disability! Handled it awsome! Already recommending friends to him! Even got cards tp pass put!!! Thank u shotwell!!!!!

The Shotwell Law Group was extremely helpful in handling my case. From the front desk staff to Attorney Blake Spale, they were always willing to guide me and never gave me empty promises. I highly recommend Blake Spale as an attorney.

Cannot say enough good things about Shotwell & his staff. He and his staff are kind & compassionate and go above and beyond to resolve your issues. We worked with Lawrence for over a year on a high-risk case and he was there to answer our questions, meet with us throughout the process, and reassure us he was doing everything he could to get the best possible outcome. He knows his stuff, and is very good at what he does. We would 100% recommend anyone with legal trouble - big or small - to go here. You won't regret it.

Lawrence has been there to assist me with all my court issues and has done a fantastic job. He is a tenacious defense attorney, as well as a great person. His staff is caring and intelligent, and are quick to help you with any issues you may have.

Thanks for dedicated service...Lawrence Shotwell and colleagues. Thank you!!!

Other than the fact that we needed these services, we had an excellent experience at this firm. Blake patiently and thoroughly answered the questions that I so incessantly asked. And for a little added perspective, I've never met a question that wasn't worth asking. Blake kept us apprised at every step, and staying informed throughout such a stressful situation is imperative.

Got me out of a sticky situation and very professional. Would recommend as a lawyer for all of my Wilmington friends

Blake and his team are extremely helpful and know what they are doing! I was in a situation and they were there every step of the way to guide me through a tough time. If I ever have any other kind of legal trouble again I'll be going back!

Had a great experience working with Blake. He got me out of a traffic ticket that I really needed to get out of. Much obliged!

As a Veteran with 3 combat deployments charged w/felony possession of Cannabis & 2Probation violations you would think I would be in jail but Lawrence Shotwell fought for me and we won! He is the best hands down!

Mr shotwell is an amazing lawyer. I had my first dwi and he did what he said he would. It got dismissed. So if you ever get a dwi I highly recommend Mr shotwell. Thank you

Blake recently helpled me with a personal legal resolution. He was insightful, professional and an incredible resource! Thank you Blake, and Shotwell Law Group!

Blake is a very experienced attorney. Threw my life I've dealt with several different criminal and family lawyers, always being told one thing and receiving another, high expectations were always much less than expected. The day I told Blake about my case I asked him what he thought, he explained that he needed to go over my case to tell me that. I respected that. A few short days later he called me told me he would take my case and he thought we had a very good chance of going to trial and winning. Needless to say a very short time later I was FREE!!! The prosecutor dismissed the case thanks to Blake. Never in my life have I met an attorney as skilled as Blake. I wish I could put him up for a lawyer of the year award. I won't say my case but I would have been wrongly accused and in very serious trouble if it wasn't for Blake. I will be using blake in the future for any and all legal aspects if you want the best chance of winning I recommend you use Blake as well.

Lawrence is THE BEST. He is professional and extremely dedicated to you. If I got a speeding ticket I would call him, or of I was accused of the most serious of crimes... I would call him. He personally handled a case for me and got it dismissed before it even went to court. He is the most professional attorney I've met, but he's laid back enough to where you feel comfortable and can establish a relationship with him so he really gets to know you. I trust him with my life.

The Shotwell Law Group handled my speeding ticket with ease. No fines nor points were given. Their staff is polite, helpful, and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this law firm for hassle-free ticket resolution!

Absolutely amazing staff. Very helpful and informative with my ongoing case. Highly recommend to anyone!

Great place! Mr. Shotwell is a great attorney. He has helped me in the past! Lucy is also great, she is a gem to the Shotwell Law group! Lucy treats everyone with respect and that's why I like to deal with her instead of the other staff members. She also has a great smile and is very kind.

Had a great experience with attorney Blake Spale. He is straightforward, professional, prompt, and efficient. If you have any traffic related issues, he is the man. Highly recommend!

Absolutely love The Shotwell Law Group!!! Specially when I call Lupe and ask "Hey Lupe, can Shotwell help me out with a ticket?" and Lupe asks "When is the court date?" and I answer, "TODAY". I know they love me over there, specially when I say the court date is "Today" and not "It WAS Friday" like I did 1 time..... or 2... :)

I have used the Shotwell Law Group and I have recommended may friends there. I have always received the highest level of attention and would say the same occurred with whomever I recommended to use them. Lawrence is extremely accomplished and attentive to the needs of his clients.

Went up and beyond regarding my speeding ticket, awesome staffing and very much recommended.

Best attorney in Wilmington!

I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to represent me in my last court case. Not only was Attorney Shotwell an outstanding lawyer but someone who took the time to listen to me and find the best possible outcome that he could. I highly recommend his services to anyone who needs not just a lawyer but someone who cares about your legal rights.

The receptionists are always helpful and informed, not to mention friendly! Mr.Shotwell is a knowledgeable compassionate professional and I always consult with his firm first before I handle any legal matter. I always recommend him when asked for advice on choosing a lawyer.

The Shotwell Law Group and Mr. Shotwell(Lawrence) are not only a great attorneys office but one of the most impressive business' in town. In times that I've had dealings with traffic related issues Mr. Shotwell has not only given me great advice but gone outside of what he is 'required' to do and helped substantially beyond the call of duty. Unlike most attorneys in town, Shotwell Law group is very very fair with their pricing, Mr. Shotwell was always very honest and straight to the point, and the front desk help was always on top of their game. As I have, I will continue to refer Shotwell Law Group to anyone I know in the Wilmington area.

Lawrence is one of the brightest attorneys in this area and would be my first choice for legal representation.

Shotwell is the only attorney I use because he always does exactly what he says he will, and I know he has my best interests at heart. His staff is extremely nice, like family, and they always know who I am and what I need.

Very Professional and knowledgable. I would send any family member or friend to Mr. Lawrence Shotwell.

The whole staff from the front desk to the attorney's in the office are always quick and effective and getting your legal matters settled! Has always been my go to for over a decade.

If you need legal help we would highly recommend Shotwell, we have used him a few times now and have always been very happy with the outcome. He is fair and very professional and we would use him again if needed.

When it comes to professionalism, knowledge, and experience, Lawrence Shotwell is the attorney I go to for counsel, outside of real estate. The staff at Shotwell Law Group are extraordinary at what they do, returning my calls promptly and answering my questions. I constantly refer my friends and family to Shotwell Law Group.

Lawerence Shotwell was a great attorney. He treated me and my case like it was the only one he had. He helped me with two separate cases two years apart. One he was able to have dismissed because he stayed on top of it and caught a mistake that appeared for a brief moment. I am positive any other attorney would have missed this. There is not another attorney in North Carolina I would use for anything. I highly recommend using him to anyone who has a criminal case in North Carolina.

The Shotwell Law Group has fantastic attorneys that care about their clients on a professional and personal level. They are simply the best.

Have known Lawrence for years and have come to admire his straight forward honesty and his understanding of the law. He has always done his best to represent me and my family and I have no problem recommending his services.

Best attorney on the east cost.. fair price and will do what ever it takes to win your case. All of the staff there are very friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend them and if needed he is my go to guy.

I used Mr. Shotwell for a dwi I got last year. He sat me down and went thru everything that was going on and what he can do for me. He gave it me straight. He was so good he got me out of any trouble. He is one of the best in Wilmington from my opinion.

He really cares about his clients. Will definitely recommend him to anyone who needs help. He helped me when I needed him.

I had a traffic infraction after 10 years not having one. I was very concerned because I had been enjoying low insurance premiums for years due to my clean driving record. The infraction was very minor but yet, I did not want to risk having my premiums go up. I called Attorney Shotwell and spoke directly with him. He was very easy to talk to and took care of my ticket. My driving record stayed clean and my insurance did not go up. I recommended their firm to one of my friends shortly after, and he was equally pleased with the professionalism of this firm. These guys are pros, both at their trade, as well as at the art of customer service. I don't normally need attorneys, but if I ever do, Shotwell is on my speed dial.

Had a great experience here. Was referred to Shotwell and was able to get my ticket reduced. Great place, setup, and a great group of people. Always willing to help anyone out who comes through their doors. There is no confusion, just straightforward. This is the place to go without any hassle.

I will never use anyone else in town after my experience with Blake Spale. His attention to detail and knowledge helped my kids get all charges dismissed. Class act, highly recommend!!

I was fortunate enough to have Blake Spale represent me in a traffic accident I was involved in. Was just hoping for a lesser charge, but even better Blake was able to have the case dismissed! Very professional and helpful fella he is. Will be using Blake Spale and the Shotwell Law Group for future legal issues and would recommend them to family and friends!

Worked with Blake Spale at Shotwell Law Group. Always responsive and answered all my questions and got my case taken care of. Professional and first class. Would gladly recommend Blake and the firm to anyone needing legal representation.

I recommend it 100 percent and good service are respectable people. Lawyers are very friendly and very impeccable service quality .
