Posted by Kim D. Williams | June 15, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Social Security Disability

Disability SSA

Mr. Shanahan did a superior job representing me during my attempt at receiving disability through Social Security. After a long drawn out process he succeeded in proving to the judge that I was unable to work after having TBI related to a Brain Tumor. He and his Paralegal Michelle Gallagher worked v...ery hard and were absolutely conscious of my situation and treated me with respect and concern. And he won my case for me!!!

Legal counsel

One of the few lawyers that I hired that actually achieved justice for me even though I was insolvent he took my case. I can honestly say one of the best experiences I have had with a lawyer in quite some time. Efficient, couteous, knowledgeable and he puts his client first. Excellent representati...on

Poor representation

My experience with this Attorney was very poor. They are reluctunt on returning calls, preserving important documents, and making promises with no intentions on keeping them. 17 years old hit by a drunk driver and have not yet after 23 yrs have recieved my rightful damages rewarded by law.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
