With an office located in the heart of downtown Houston, Texas, the firm defends people against a wide range of state and federal criminal charges, including DWI, violent crimes, drug offenses, juvenile offenses, sex offenses and white collar crimes. We are trial lawyers. Everything we do is geared towards putting our client in the very best position to win at trial. The ability to persuade an audience to embrace your side of the story—and not your opponent’s—is an art. It brings you leverage in battle. It fosters success. The lawyers at Shellist Peebles McAlister LLP have spent over 50 combined years in the trenches. Steve Shellist, Peyton Peebles, and Sean McAlister all started their legal careers at the Harris County District Attorney’s Office. After amassing years of experience as prosecutors (Assistant District Attorneys), we joined forces and put that training and experience to use defending people charged with crimes. We have helped people throughout Texas and the United States. Our experience ranges from nonviolent misdemeanors to multi-victim homicides, state court to federal court, trial courts to state and federal appellate courts and juvenile cases to adult cases. After many client requests, we decided to expand our practice to include a limited number of other areas: CPS investigations, corporate investigations, and personal injury cases. There is a natural connection between our criminal trial experience and these areas. More importantly, the deep toolbox of skills we’ve developed in criminal law applies with equal force to these other areas. No lawyer can guarantee results. Doing so is reckless and foolish. We are neither reckless nor foolish. Our guarantee is simple: We are experienced trial lawyers who will work hard for you. If you want to protect your legal rights, seek out aggressive, skilled attorneys with years of trial experience. Put yourself in good hands. Contact Shellist Peebles McAlister, LLP today.
