Legal Team Approach

Four former Harris County Prosecutors with years of remarkable success in the courtroom, joined forces to form the law firm of Capitaine, Shellist, Peebles & McAlister , LLP. They are a team of trial lawyers dedicated to vigorously protecting the rights of their clients. Christian F. Capitaine, Steven D. Shellist, Peyton Peebles, and Sean T. McAlister work together on each client's case from the plea bargaining phase all the way up through trial.

What sets Capitaine, Shellist, Peebles & McAlister, LLP, apart from other law firms is not just their individual accomplishments and successes, but instead, the fact that they aggressively investigate and prepare for each case as a team. Clients represented by Capitaine, Shellist, Peebles & McAlister, LLP, benefit from the mind of not just one attorney, but four former highly experienced prosecutors devoted to achieving the best possible results.

Experience has taught them that they are able to obtain remarkable outcomes when they work together as a team. Their legal team approach is uncompromising, leaving no stone unturned on each and every case they handle. Every fact is investigated; every lead is followed; and the impact of every mistake made by the Government is maximized. They excel at what they do because they share a passion for winning and because they allow their abilities as trial lawyers and aggressive litigation skills to guide them to victory.

Capitaine, Shellist, Peebles & McAlister, LLP, is a result-driven team of lawyers. They have impressive academic backgrounds and a history of winning in trial. As prosecutors, their felony jury trial records were outstanding and they witnessed, first hand, the lack of proper defense received by those defendants they prosecuted who were charged with serious crimes. As a result, they conceived the strategy now known as "A Legal Team Approach," which gives each client an edge that cannot be found at other law firms.
