Excellent Attorney

I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional representation I received from Shannon during my child custody and divorce proceedings. From the very beginning, Shannon demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for my case. She took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and prov...ided clear, compassionate guidance throughout the entire process. Shannon was always available to answer my questions and kept me informed at every step. Their attention to detail and strategic approach made me feel confident and supported. Thanks to her hard work and dedication, I was able to achieve the best possible outcome in my case. I highly recommend Shannon to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and compassionate attorney for family law matters. They truly made a difficult and stressful time more manageable, and I can't thank her enough for all they did for me.

Everything I needed

I went through a tough time over multiple years and Shannon was absolutely everything I needed in legal counsel. I can’t say enough positive things. She genuinely cared about me and my family and I felt like we were a true collaborative team. I could be very open with her and I always knew she would ...tell me what I needed to know/hear, even if it was hard to stomach sometimes. She stood up for me and handled things when life was all around hard and I couldn’t keep track of all of the legal issues I had to be on top of. While her hourly rate was not cheap, I noticed that she was very fair in how she billed me. She never overbilled, which unfortunately was my experience when she was on maternity leave and I had to temporarily have another lawyer. I have to say that although I tried a few different counsels during that time, I was so eager and thankful when she returned from leave- none were as thorough as she was. I will be forever grateful to her for helping me through that tough time in my life.

Missed important appointments, etc.

I think she tried as much as she could...but I was very disappointed at her time & scheduling management capabilities. One big surprise was that she completely forgot to arrange online meeting way in advance with a Judge for my 1st settlement meeting and I did not know any Zoom meeting information un...til the very last minute. The meeting started out in confusion on the Judge side as well and the Judge was unaware of the change from in-person to Zoom meeting, either. The Judge showed up late by 20 minutes because of the last minute notification, then my STVX was unable to turn his webcam on for good 12 minutes so there was another delay. The supposedly an hour settlement meeting was shortened into less than 30 minutes meeting....of course, nothing productive came out of the meeting. Secondly, she missed an important meeting with a DCFA and I and the DCFA were on hold for about an hour without any follow-up and she did not even apologize in person. Thirdly she did not inform/cascade the important court date to me or my new lawyer so that it caused major rescheduling on our ends to show up on my court date. I had to take an emergency leave from work and my lawyer had to rearrange his schedule until the very last minute again. I realized that she did not care/value about my time and effort to adjust to her uninformed and sudden schedule changes. Also, I do not forget when she said, "Are you in dire straights?" when I wanted to talk about what I am possibly entitled to receive from my STVX. Then she made an insensitive joke with her co-worker when we were going over my expenses on dining out.

Brilliant Attorney!

So grateful to have Shannon represent me. She VERY knowledgeable in family law and she thoroughly communicates with her clients. Her hard work and dedication regarding her representation of her clients is unmatched. She literally went above an beyond to make sure my custody hearing was fair and child... support needs would be met.

What every great family law attorney should be

I would like to share what an absolutely amazing attorney Shannon Kowitz is. She is the perfect combination of what I believe every great family law attorney should aspire to: someone who cares about you as a person and yet is also willing to tell you the tough things you may not want to hear but ne...ed to, particularly if you are hoping to avoid a costly trial. Fair, firm, smart, with a big heart. That is Shannon.
