Just a job
I’m not one to usually write reviews, but under these circumstances it seems appropriate. I hired ms Shannon to represent my sister on a motion to reconsider and at the beginning she seemed very sincere in her desire to help. Something had changed once she got paid and it seemed like i was working fo...
Nathan, I empathize with the stress and frustration that you are experiencing over your father’s declining health and your sister’s incarceration. However, I think your comments in your review are misplaced. As you remember, I was retained to draft a Motion to Reconsider your sister’s sentence. I was not the attorney who handled your sister’s underlying case or sentencing. During our consultation, I warned you that post-conviction motions were not frequently granted, and you stated that you understood that. Three weeks to prepare and draft a motion of this nature is not excessive by industry standards. As I was not the attorney that handled the underlying charges/sentencing, I needed to review the court file, speak with the original attorney, contact the Department of Corrections and clarify information with you. My office communicated with you numerous times during my representation and tried to manage your expectations. I was surprised to see this review, as you did not express any dissatisfaction to me when we discussed the court’s denial of the motion. Your frustration was directed at the court’s ruling, not at the way I handled your sister’s matter. I’m not sure what changed between then and now, but I am certainly willing to discuss any issues that have arisen with you. Please contact my office and I will be glad to schedule a time to speak with you.

Exceeded Expectations
As an out of state driver that was ticketed in Virginia, I was concerned that I would not be able to keep the ticket off my record. I hired Kristen Shannon by phone and we had several conversations about the importance of keeping the ticket off my record. Kristen suggested that I provide a clean dr...

Reckless Driving Charge
I am an extremely satisfied Commercial Driver of 20 years!!! Attorney Shannon's knowledge of the charge I was ticketed with and the assurance that this would not follow me into my future, put my mind at ease. Every question concerning my case was answered before my court date. She and her staff were...

Child Custody Case
For many months the fear of losing primary custody of my step-son weighed heavily on my heart. I trusted in God that the Judge's decision would be for the best interest of my son. However, I battled the fear that most parents would experience in this type of situation. Ms. Shannon calmed those fears ...

Amazing, professional, organized, and thorough, and WE WON!
Mrs. Shannon is an incredible attorney. She is so thorough and picked up on many things that I would not have even imagined to matter in our family case. I have been traumatized by previous court experiences and unjust rulings with my X-husband so when I found out that he was going to try and get pri...
