just excelent super woman

Shannon is a wonder woman. She represented my husband in child custody case over the last several months. This case was complex involving sexual issues an multiple states. Although Shannon is only licensed for Maryland she took her time to gather information and make contact with all parties involved... and gave us the best advice possible.I can not say enough about this wonderful lady. She was so professional while showing true care and concern about my family. Her investigative and prep skills were superb.she fought like a lion for our family and drove her points home. Shannon is a winner and we are so thankful and blessed that we found this firm.mr Thomas is also wonderful. he took his time to speak with us when ever we were in the office just to make sure we understood what was going on and make us comfortable. We have never been in this type of situation before and hope. to never be again. From day one Shannon was by our side thank you Shannon and Thomas we will be bringing the kids home to a safe and happy home thanks to all your hard work and effort. Theses people feel more like friends then just lawyers.

My Not So Secret Weapon

Hiring Shannon to represent me in my divorce was one of the smartest decisions I have ever made. There is no one I would rather have on my side. Facing the possibility of an acrimonious divorce was overwhelming, both emotionally and financially. From our first meeting, and throughout my journey, S...hannon was professional, honest and empathetic and knowledgeable. She listened attentively, and offered her advice, while explaining my options simply and directly. However, her ability to win a favorable outcome, while maintaining a civil relationship with the opposing party (my ex-husband) was probably what I admired most. As difficult as this situation was, divorce did not end our relationship. My ex-husband and I had to continue to co-parent our children. We would have never been able to do that successfully if Shannon hadn’t been able to preserve a respectful relationship with him while she negotiated a beneficial agreement on my behalf. Guiding me through this process, Shannon’s expertise and experience were obvious . She made me feel like I was her priority, and we communicated regularly. She helped me to clearly understand my options, so I could make the toughest decisions, and encouraged me to take the most effective action. Shannon reminded me of my long term goals, and respected my choices. She understood that more than anything I wanted to protect our children, and reasonable compromise was always an option. That being said, she has many tools in her arsenal and whatever the situation called for, she delivered. My outcome could have been much different if it wasn't for Shannon's brilliance and guidance. Her representation is truly priceless, yet I owe her more than I could ever repay her.

Satisfied Client

What to say about how great Ms. Kowitz is as my attorney? First, as a father of 3 unexpectedly facing divorce, I found myself completely unprepared and emotionally stressed. Ms. Kowitz was very understanding and sympathetic to my situation and provided much more than just legal counsel. She genuinely... cared about the outcome of my particular situation, especially the impact it would have on my children. Financially speaking, I found her to be very professional and efficient which ended up saving me a few dollars on my final billing. Her ability to work with my wife's attorney kept the entire process as amicable as it could be and out of court. I would recommend her very highly to anyone that might be in need of her services. Going through a separation or divorce is never a pleasant experience, but thankfully for me, dealing with Ms. Kowitz was always a positive in the otherwise difficult process.

A shinning light in the dark!

I am very happy with the time and effort Ms. Kowitz put into my case. She was very knowledgeable and kept my expectations realistic. I felt she was very accessible and kept me informed about where we were in the the process, thoughts on the best way to proceed, etc. Her guidance was spot on. Ms.... Kowitz is very compassionate and caring, but also very professional and composed. I know she always had my and my children's best interest in mind. I am very thankful I chose to work with her. I would definitely recommend her to others.

Outstanding family law attorney!!!

Shannon was an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout my child custody and annulment process. She kept me informed of case developments, offered excellent advice, and always stayed available for questions or concerns. In the end, it was her outstanding counsel that guided me toward attaining the... primary custody of my son. I recognize that primary custody can be difficult for men to achieve and I am thankful to have that as my result. Were it not for the stellar work done for me by Shannon Kowitz, I do not believe I would have attained the same result.
