Shelby L. Scott

Attorney at Law

Thanks for stopping by! I'm Shelby, and I'm glad you're here. I hope that I can be of service to you and leave you better than when you got here.

A little about me:

I became part of the Calhoun County community when I attended Jacksonville State University back in 2011. After I graduated from JSU, I earned an academic scholarship to the Cumberland School of Law at Samford University. While in law school, I jumped headfirst into contentious family law cases, and I learned from one of the best family law firms in Birmingham.

In 2018, I graduated law school, passed the bar exam, and began my legal career at a well-respected law firm here in Oxford. There, I was able to help over 175 clients in just three years and added criminal defense to my areas of legal practice. 

Now, I'm a lawyer out on my own, helping good people like you protect what matters most. Maybe it's your freedom, maybe it's your children, maybe it's the business you've worked your entire life to build - whatever it is, I promise to stand with you and fight like hell to help you protect it.

I am very proud of the work that I've done for my clients so far, but it pales in comparison to the pride I feel for my family. I'm married to a Sergeant in the Alabama National Guard, and we live in Jacksonville with our two daughters (5 & 7) and two rescue dogs (also 5 & 7).

In my spare time, you can find me binge watching Law and Order: SVU (I know, I know), hiking at Cheaha State Park, and keeping it 100 on our firm's Facebook page.

Again, thank you for stopping by. Let me know how I can be of service to you.
