Top best C Lawyers in ZIP 85226 | 43 available

When I am not practicing law, I enjoy reading and writing mystery novels. I am also an amateur nature photographer. I love hiking and taking in all the beauty Arizona has to offer.. I have children and step-children (all of whom are amazing, brilliant, special and wonderful!), so I understand first-hand the issues of divorce, remarriage, co-parenting, step-parenting, etc.

Trust. Quality. Advocacy. Those are the tenants of my practice. I firmly believe that trust between the attorney and client is the best way to achieve results. I have found that trust is best built by actually listening to my clients. I genuinely care about what my clients want and what they have to say. It's hard to believe, but a lot of attorneys do not realize this. I find it is key to the success of my practice.. I have experience in Family Law, Estate Planning, Simple Probate, and some Criminal Law in Gila, Maricopa, Pima, and Pinal Counties. I have successfully resolved and tried cases involving issues like property division, spousal maintenance, child custody, and child support. I have even interned for a judge on the Maricopa County Superior Court, so I am familiar with how judges think and the information they need to make their rulings. I can arm my clients with the information they need to be successful.. This is what I bring to the table as an attorney: Trust. Quality. Advocacy. When you need it most..

In order to attend law school everybody has to take a test referred to as the LSAT.  Mark scored in the top 3% in the country on LSAT.  After doing well in undergrad and scoring so extremely high on the LSAT, Mark  had his pick of law schools to attend.  Mark was offered academic scholarships from several prestigious law schools.  But Mark put his family first, as his wife had just started her career as an teacher, so he entered law school at the Sandra day O’Conner College of Law at Arizona State.  Mark graduated from law school and immediately started defending people from the persecution of the government.. After being admitted to practice law, Mark worked for a local criminal defense attorney by the name of David B. Smith.  In his first few year of practicing criminal defense, Mark got unbelievable experience.  Mark was lead counsel on at least one felony trial per month during his first two years.  Additionally, within two years Mark was lead counsel for several homicide cases.  During Mark’s first three years Mark won over 20 felony trials and got many more felonies dismissed.  A sample of the cases Mark won during his first three years is: MURDER; AGGRAVATED ASSAULT (Knife); CHILD ABUSE; AGGRAVATED ASSAULT (Baseball bat); RESISTING ARREST; AGGRAVATED ASSAULT (on Police officer); BURGLARY; AGGRAVATED ASSAULT (serious physical injury); AGGRAVATED ASSAULT (stabbing); AGGRAVATED ASSAULT (knife slashing); THEFT OF MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION; GRAND THEFT AUTO; AGGRAVATED ASSAULT (gun).  The list goes on and on.. In 1999 Mark started his own criminal defense firm.  However within a year or two Mark joined up with Chad Shell to start one of the best and most successful criminal defense firms in Arizona.  Mark and Chad are partners to this day and have successfully represented thousands of clients charged with felonies and misdemeanors all across the state of Arizona.  They have represented clients in Kingman, Flagstaff, Prescott, Sedona, Prescott Valley, Glendale, Peoria, Tucson, Casa Grande, Florence, Globe, Show Low, Pinetop, Verde Valley, Yuma, Avondale, Litchfield, Tolleson, Phoenix, Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Apache Junction, Payson, Wickenburg, Gila Bend, Winslow, Cave Creek, Queen Creek, and others.. Between Chad Shell and Mark the state of Arizona has dismissed more than 900 domestic violence cases alone.  The state of Arizona has dismissed other cases because of Shell & Nermyr ranging from murder, attempted murder, sex assault, aggravated assault, assault, criminal damage, disorderly conduct, misconduct involving weapons, child abuse, kidnapping.  This list also goes on and on.. Shell & Nermyr PLLC is the East Valley`s preeminent criminal defense firm.  Any law firm can go to court and have their clients plead guilty.  But Arizona`s team of criminal defense attorneys goes to court and wins for their clients.
