"Shannon is the kind of attorney that I went to law school to become. In addition to having an encyclopedic knowledge of the law and an excellent reputation in the legal community, Shannon is a consummate legal professional. The judges and attorneys that she deals with know Shannon to be an honest, forthright, and fair attorney. With clients, Shannon is unfailingly compassionate and practical. There is simply no better attorney to have representing you. I have been proud to work under Shannon since I began practicing law in 2015, and I have recommended her to family and friends without hesitation."
"Shannon has been an incredible mentor and coworker throughout the years. Her knowledge of the law and developments in the law is impressive. But equally important, she really cares about her clients and helping them reach positive outcomes for themselves and their family."
"Shannon is truly a leader in the Virginia domestic relations/family law bar. She is a pleasure to work with, and I use her as a resource regularly when handling my own divorce and custody matters."
"Shannon is smart and experienced. She's completely reasonable to work with and good in the courtroom. I recommend her."
