Standing Up for Victims of Violent Crime
Shilton Law is dedicated to giving victims of violent crime—especially survivors of domestic violence—a clear voice in the justice system. We work to ensure that your rights are respected at every step and that you are informed, supported, and heard.
About Shilton Law
Shilton Law is a focused victim‑advocacy practice dedicated to representing individuals who have experienced violent crime, with a primary emphasis on survivors of domestic violence. Our firm was founded on the belief that victims deserve more than a case number—they deserve to be heard, informed, and treated with dignity throughout the legal process.
We work alongside prosecutors’ offices and law‑enforcement agencies to help ensure that victims’ rights are respected and that they have meaningful input as criminal cases move forward. From the first report to law enforcement through court hearings and beyond, we provide clear explanations, practical guidance, and steady support.
Shilton Law also partners with non‑profit organizations, shelters, and advocacy programs that serve victims of violence. By collaborating with the non‑profit community, we help connect clients to legal information, safety‑planning resources, counseling services, and other forms of support that address the full impact of trauma.
Experience You Can Trust
Shilton Law brings deep experience in violent‑crime and domestic‑violence matters, including substantial work with prosecutors’ offices and law‑enforcement agencies. We understand how these cases move through the justice system and what victims need to feel prepared at each stage.
Our approach is trauma‑informed and survivor‑centered: we listen carefully, explain options in clear language, and focus on safety and empowerment. We help clients understand their rights, anticipate what comes next, and make informed decisions about their participation in the process.
