Excellent Lawyer focused on Results

I have worked with Shannon for a few years now with regards to 3 separate issues and she has been highly effective with her execution and clear with her advise. 1. I have 50/50 legal/physical custody with my 3 kids. The first issue was me trying to get either full physical custody or for my x-wife... to actually spend time with the kids when they were in her custody; and for her to stop abusive behavior. Naturally my x-wife made many false counter claims with no evidence and asked for child support (despite being a high income person). Shannon did an excellent job asking the right question to my x-wife during the pre-trial disposition (which resulted in answers that would make it difficult for her in court); also Shannon did a great job explaining to me the law and what we can do to get the results I wanted. We built a solid case for court, however she was honest with me and the reality is it takes many incidents (and not just a handful) for my x-wife to lose physical custody. The end result was that we got my x-wife to sign some papers that said you can't do X, Y, or Z and I got the result I was looking for; a better mom. 2. Situation number two was a crazy x-girlfriend that said she was sad that we broke up and because I returned her stuff to a friend during a 5 second visit of just dropping it off she claimed I caused her to go into emotional distress, even though I haven't seen her in 6 months and just texted her to pickup her stuff (that she asked from me) from her friend. The first time this went to court I thought it was such an easy case I actually tried to go against her lawyer. I almost won, but my x-girlfriend was talking about how sad she was, her life is meaningless, she shakes all the time in sadness, going to therapy, crying in court, etc then the judge said she would grant a protective order, despite there being no legal basis. So I called Shannon and appealed. This went to court and Shannon blew it out of the water and the judge within the 1st minute of court said this should be dismissed and for the remaining hour or so just dismissed my x-girlfriend. Shannon did a great job being clear, compassionate, and focused on the law. The lesson learned here is to use a lawyer in court even if the case seems simple to win; it's difficult to cross examine someone as the defendant. 3. The last and most recent situation was drafting up a pre-nup for me and my fiance. It was written amazingly well front the first draft and without argument my fiance agreed.

Outstanding Lawyer who gets the job done!!!

Shannon is an outstanding Lawyer. She represented me in my divorce and custody case. Shannon was always a phone call away no matter what time I needed her. When things got rough during the times I was denied seeing my children, she was always there to give me sound legal advice. I’ve always been fear...ful of being in court hearing horror stories about men not having a chance when it comes to being awarded custody. With Shannon’s help we where able to totally turn my whole custody situation around. I was awarded full physical custody and I have joint legal custody with all tie breaking authority going to me. Shannon I will never forget what you and your firm has done for me and my family. We will forever be grateful. If you need a reliable caring Lawyer, Shannon and the Mulinazzi Law firm is the way to go.

Great results

IIt has been a pleasure working with Shannon. She proved to be very thorough,concerned and sensitive to the nature of family issues during this emotional period. She kept me fully informed of the process through every step. She expertly negotiated with opposing attorney, saving both time and money ...yet insuring my concerns were successfully addressed. I could not be more satisfied with both the result and the path that took us there. I would both recommend her services and call on her again in the future if needed. Thanks Shannon

SHANNON IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!

I met with Shannon immediately after my separation for a consultation, as I just had no idea what to do next. I was very emotional, and she was compassionate and friendly, and patiently listened while I explained my situation. She explained the entire divorce process - where to go from here, options,... timeline and possible outcomes. Throughout the entire year, she kept me informed, as well as working to keep my costs to a minimum. I never doubted for a minute that the entire team had my best interest at heart. I would highly recommend this team to anyone that finds themselves in this very difficult and challenging situation! Thank you Shannon, Kim, Mr. Mulinazzi and Laura, you made a bad situation tolerable!
