Civil Rights, Federally and State

We are granted certain enumerated rights in both the US Constitution and the state constitution. We do not lose those rights based on a criminal status. Everyone has a right to treated fairly.
Our rights under the US Constitution comes under the 14th Amendment. No person should be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. It’s a federal crime when a person who is acting under “under color of any law” (that is, under governmental authority or the pretense of authority) violates another person’s civil rights “willfully” (18 U.S.C. § 242). When police goes beyond the scope of their duty, people can sue the police for violating their civil rights under the Civil Rights Act of 1871 (42 U.S.C. § 1983).

State Claims

In addition to federal claims, a plaintiff can also bring several claims under state law, such as: false imprisonment, false arrest, malicious prosecution, abuse of process; excessive force, battery, assault and wrongful death.

Ms. Shambee is one of the true dedicated and attentive attorneys in Illinois and Florida - I hired her for my corporation in 2014 to handle some intellectual property cases and I am glad I did! She is professional in every sense of the word and a great litigator... Communication is her strong point as she is excellent at keeping me informed with every aspect of the case. Ms. Shambee goes above and beyond and I highly recommend her.

Phillip Bleicher -

I am writing this brief letter to thank Shambee Law for representing my son, Joseph Lewis. My husband, Elstner, spoke of their professionalism and thoroughness in handling the details of our son's case. Joseph also expressed how grateful he was that they explained everything to him in order to give him better insight into what was going on in the courtroom. We, as a family, are very appreciative to SLOL for their collaboration with the prosecutor which enabled Joe's charges to be downgraded to a moving violation. We will share with others, as needed, who may require your assistance. Thank you for being a person of integrity; and, again, thank you for taking Joseph's case. God bless you, and may your business increase and prosper in the years to come.

Wayne Logan -

My lawyer did her job conerning my case. I was fighting a case that could've ruined my life! Ms. Shambee did her research and studied the case! We went to trial and she used evidence from me and the other side and made the state look bad on their part. I was found not guilty 2 years later. Thanks to her, I have my freedom back. I would highly recommend Ms. Shambee

Richele Sabbara -

I finally have the time to sit down and write this review on Attorney Shambee. When I came to her I was frustrated and confused with my case. I felt like I was drowning. The two lawyers I had before her basically took my money and left me for dry and I felt like I couldn't trust another lawyer. I couldn't give up though and after doing some research I came across her. After we met, I walked out her office confident that she was going to make sure that the case against me would be dropped. I had so many unanswered questions that the lawyer before her should've been able to answer but didn't. She was able to calm me down because I was definitely in panic mode. She made sure to always get back to me in a timely fashion when I contacted her about my case. She made sure to keep in contact with my pervious lawyer. My case was basically dragged out when it didn't need to be because my old lawyer wasn't standing up for me the way he should've. I felt safe going into court with Attorney Shambee by my side. I knew she was going into court to FIGHT for me. She means business! Extremely organized. I will always recommend her to anyone looking for an Attorney to represent them because she gets the job done. My charges were dropped. Thank you so much Attorney Shambee for coming in and taking control of the situation. I'll forever be thankful.
