Highest recommendation

Christopher Shannon is an excellent real estate attorney. I have worked with him on numerous transactions. He is extremely knowledgeable and a gifted problem solver. He answers phone calls and emails promptly and goes out of his way to provide extraordinary services for his clients. He has a calm... friendly demeanor that is comforting when problems arise and makes working with him a pleasure. I give him my highest recommendation.

Real Estate Purchase and Sale

I worked with Christopher on two transactions this year. The first was the purchase of a new house. The second was the sale of our existing house. Both transactions went extremely well due, in no small part, to Christopher's experienced hand and calm demeanor. The result for each transactions was... better than expected. Both processes were smooth. He and his team have the experience to deal with all of the issues associated with real estate. I would absolutely hire him again and would advise my friends to use him in their real estate deals. He is great to have in your corner as you head into one of life's bigger transactions.

Chris Rocks!!

Look no further!! I am a Real Estate Broker in the Brookline/Boston area and I have worked with Christopher Shannon many successful transactions. Let's face it, buying, selling and moving can be the most stressful process that anyone will ever go through....... Having Christopher Shannon in your co...rner ensures that this transition is going to run as smooth as possible. Chris really goes way "above and beyond" the level of service received from almost all attorneys I've met. He is always efficient, but pays close attention to details. He'll really take the time to understand all the facts before deciding the best course of action for his clients. You can always expect a prompt return phone call or email and he seems to manage his bustling business with ease and confidence. The best thing about having Chris in your corner is his demeanor when dealing with his counterparts... opposing attorneys respect him, which in the end allows him to get whats in your best interest.....
