Sgt. Kellie Gillam-Shaffer, Michigan State Police

To the Defender of the Blue Team,

I am honored to write this letter of endorsement for defense attorneys Marc and Christa Curtis, whose extraordinary dedication to justice and due process has made a profound impact particularly in their defense of law enforcement officers who have been wrongly accused.

Marc and Christa Curtis exemplify the highest standards of legal excellence, integrity, and commitment to truth. Their most recent case stands as a powerful testament to their capabilities: I, Kellie Gillam-Shaffer, a dedicated police officer with over 30 years in service, was recently found not guilty of “Reckless Discharge of a Firearm” by a jury of her peers, clearing my name of all accusations. This outcome was not just a victory in court it was a restoration of honor for me a dedicated trooper who had faithfully served my community.

The Curtis team went above and beyond with expert testimony to ensure that the full truth came to light. Their meticulous attention to evidence, rigorous cross-examinations, and unwavering belief in my innocence were crucial in securing this just verdict. In a climate where law enforcement professionals often face public condemnation before facts are fully known, Marc and Christa stood firm, providing both legal expertise and moral support.

They understand the unique challenges faced by those in uniform and approach each case with a deep respect for the sacrifices law enforcement officers make daily. Their work not only defends individual officers but also protects the integrity of the justice system itself.

It is with deep respect and confidence that I endorse Marc and Christa Curtis as “The real deal” for police officers. Their work matters. Their impact is real. And their commitment to truth and justice continues to restore faith where it is most needed.
