About Shannon
Biography
I began focusing my practice while still in law school, taking on divorce cases under a Third Year Practice Certificate. I have spent considerable time in correspondence, drafting pleadings and attending hearings in the local courts. I have handled matters in custody, visitation, child support, adoption and divorce.
I currently live in Williamsburg with my husband and tuxedo cat, Thaddeus.
