Can’t Say Enough Great Things
Can’t say enough great things about Shaefer Shepard. He literally fought for me tooth and nail for the past 10 months with what I wanted and made sure I understood every possible outcome that my case was going to get. Even through so many rescheduled court dates, he kept me updated, understood my crazy work schedule, and worked around it with everything. If you’re looking for someone who’s going to fight for you and get you the best possible outcome, look no further, just hire him yesterday. He had both myself and my daughter's best interest at heart. And that’s honestly what I wanted at the end of the day, someone who didn’t see me just as a client but someone that just wanted the best possible outcome.

Mark is the man
Mark is the man, great to work with, makes you feel confident about the outcome of your case. Mark had my case completely dismissed, which wasn't a surprise.

This most recent case was not as severe as my first, but I was completely in the wrong on both and felt both were indefensible. Cannot say enough good things about Mark.

They Provided Peace of Mind
I cannot put into words the relief I feel today, and I owe it all to Michael Fanous. Facing a criminal case was the scariest moment of my life, but from our very first meeting, Michael treated me with dignity and respect rather than just another case number. They didn't just provide legal counsel; they provided peace of mind. Their expertise, dedication, and refusal to back down resulted in a successful outcome that has given me my life back. If you are looking for someone who will truly fight for you with heart and brilliance, look no further. I am eternally grateful.

Duwayne Stewart
My Stress Level Was Extremely High
Shaefer Shepard was amazing! My stress level was extremely high before contacting Attorney Shepard. I felt confident with Shaefer by my side. He was very aggressive in representing both of my cases. He won my case with his knowledge of the law. My witness did not show up for me to testify. Attorney Shepard had a plan B and a plan C. If you need to be represented, contact this law firm. You will have a life-changing experience.

Jetton and Meredith is the way to go!
If you need an attorney, Jetton and Meredith is the way to go! Conner "CJ" Gillmer got my case dismissed, and I didn’t have to worry about a thing.

Not Guilty"I Got a DWI the Summer Before Going to College"
A well-known graduate of a local high school in Charlotte was attending a party at a friend’s house when he decided to drive home that Friday night. What he thought was five minutes down the road turned into a five-hour long trip to a jail cell. Client was not driving poorly or swerving across lanes, but was going 50mph in a 35mph zone. Police pulled him over, smelled weed, and found residue in the vehicle. Additionally, the cop noticed that client had a green tongue which led the police to arrest the client for driving while impaired. Client hired Attorney Mark S. Jetton, Jr. because he was not pleading guilty and having this on his record forever. Attorney Jetton took it to trial and received a not guilty verdict because the State could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that client was driving while under the influence of an impairing substance.
Dismissed"Street Racer" Falsely Accused of Racing on the Streets of Charlotte
On April 2, 2021, Jetton and Meredith’s client was purportedly charged with two separate counts of prearranged street competition. A detective who had “firsthand” knowledge and experience dealing with prearranged racing believed he saw Jetton and Meredith’s client racing a 2021 Ford Super Duty Pick-up truck. When client was arrested and thrown in jail, client called Mark S. Jetton, Jr. to handle his case. Immediately, Mr. Jetton was able to get his vehicle which was seized improperly by a search warrant. After two years of rigorous case review, the case was in superior court. Mr. Jetton was able to convince the District Attorney’s Office that his client did not commit this charged offense. Mr. Jetton was able to show that the driver of the vehicle at the time that the races were taking place was not his client.
Dismissed16 year old girl charged with driving after consuming while under 21 years old.
On a normal New Year’s Day in 2022, client was traveling to McDonalds to get some food when she was abruptly cut off by another man driving at an erratic speed. When the client honked her horn, the man brake checked client and proceeded to follow client to the McDonalds. In the parking lot, the 16 year old client was flashed a gun and had her mirror ripped off. In complete shock and terror, the client stopped in front of a State Highway Patrolman’s home coincidentally. Once the patrolman found out what happened, he called for backup. When backup arrived, the other patrolman believed the client had been drinking and charged her with a DWI. Mark S. Jetton, Jr. was able to negotiate and find holes in the State’s case to earn the 16 year old girl a dismissal of the DWI charge. This allowed the client to keep her license.
Dismissed19-Year-Old Kid Abused by a Court Issued Domestic Violence Protective Order.
After graduating high school and excited for college, 19-year-old client had a girlfriend of one year that he was excited to spend the summer with. Because of the unknown future for either of them...their relationship took a turn for the worst. After a consented order agreed upon by both parties was issued, client’s girlfriend took out criminal charges (the highest misdemeanor charges in North Carolina). Client picked up the phone and called Jetton and Meredith legal team. The alleged victim explained that client was communicating with her through a discord chat room in which she set up. When appearing in court for client, Mark S. Jetton, Jr. was able to shine light on the lies and get client’s case completely dismissed and off client’s record.
Dismissed34-year-old Finance Manager Charged with Driving Reckless and going 36 MPH Over the Speed Limit
Estimated at traveling 100 mph on I-85 in Charlotte, NC, Jetton and Meredith’s client was lasered from 961 ft. Faced with the real change of losing his license, he turned to Mark S. Jetton, Jr. for help. Upon review the case, Mr. Jetton used his proven strategic methods to negotiate with the Mecklenburg County District Attorney’s Office to get the case dismissed.
Dismissed3AM Run to Cook Out Restaurant Turns Into Near Disaster When Driver Falls Asleep
A man on a mission was interrupted when he passed out at 3:00 in the morning in line at the drive-thru for a late night burger at Cook Out. The police got curious about the sleeping customer and questioned him. He responded that he "drank a lot" of alcohol and that he shouldn't be driving. The officers gave him several field sobriety tests and arrested him for Driving While Impaired, finding an open container in the car. Once at the station he blew a .10 BAC on the intoxilyzer. Facing the fallout from his fast food foray, the man wisely hired Jetton and Meredith. Attorney Shaefer Shepard realized that the state would need two officers to prove their case. When both officers failed to show up to court at the trial date without a good excuse, the judge denied the state's motion to continue and the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Can I represent myself in court?
While you have the right to represent yourself, it is not advisable. Criminal defense is complex and having a skilled attorney increases your chances of a favorable outcome. An experienced defense attorney understands the legal system, can negotiate on your behalf, and will work to protect your rights.
When should I contact a defense attorney?
Contact a defense attorney as soon as you are aware of an investigation or charges against you. The earlier an attorney is involved, the better they can prepare your defense. Early involvement also helps protect your rights during investigations and hearings.
What is a plea bargain?
A plea bargain is an agreement between you and the prosecutor where you plead guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for a reduced sentence or dropping other charges. It can be a strategic decision to avoid trial, but it's important to discuss the implications with your attorney before agreeing.
