A Veteran Trial Lawyer
One key to being a successful criminal defense attorney is the willingness to take cases to trial. When the prosecution understands that the lawyer on the other side will prepare a strong case in the courtroom, they are more likely to be reasonable at other points in the case. Shannon Aldous has tried many cases, both before a judge and jury. Furthermore, she prepares every case with the understanding that trial is possible. By doing so, she can defend her clients to the best of her ability.

Attorney Shannon Aldous is transparent, diligent, devoted, and will fight for her clients. She is honest about whatever charges you are facing and is knowledgeable on how to get you the best outcome. I received a serious traffic citation. All other attorneys I spoke with ensured me I would receive many points on my license and would in no way be able to use my PJC. Attorney Aldous went over the best and worse case scenarios with me and was honest about the possible outcomes. In the end she was able to address my case to where I could in fact use my PJC - receiving no license points, ticket fees, etc. She was professional and prepared in the court room, arrived early, and efficiently handled my case. Whether a serious traffic citation like mine or a more serious charge, I would recommend Attorney Shannon Aldous to any individual in Lincoln County, NC - 10/10. Excellent rates and exceptional service.- nicole greene. 1/18/2020![]()
