Excellent Attorney
Ms. Costa was profesional, kind and patient with my son who is deaf. When I reached out to her she was warm and very caring, she assisted us with my son getting custody of his children and the ability to move with me to Delaware. I highly recommend her.

Custody case
She is super fantastic practice lawyer and took care of custody case. She is super friendly and very good communication with me about this situation. I am proud to chose her.
"While working at Abom & Kutulakis alongside Costa, I have found that she represents her clients with an unmatched level of gumption and dedication. Any client of hers is fortunate to have her represent them. As a colleague, I have found her to be a thoughtful and helpful coworker."
"Shannon is an excellent advocate for her clients. I've worked with her for years and have watched her excel in the courtroom. She's an excellent lawyer."
"I first met Shannon when she was a student in law school. She was always prepared, responsive, zealously advocated for her position, and professional. I recently had the privilege of working as opposing counsel to Attorney Costa, and she exercised the same traits as an Attorney. She was responsive, professional and zealously advocated for her client. I am pleased to endorse Attorney Costa."
