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... personable and very professional. I live in the Richmond area of Virginia, and had to call at least 7 attorneys in the Va Beach Area and Attorney Shannon was the best choice !!! I recommend her highly to professional drivers and other drivers as well !!!

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...mary custody of our son, all of those anxieties came back. Mrs. Shannon, being a family person herself, listened carefully to all of my concerns and actually made the court experience incredibly peaceful (I never thought that was possible). The judge even said that it was the most "memorable" court experiences because of how wonderful everything was. She also did an excellent job keeping us up to date and informing us of what was going on in a way that we could understand (legal terminology is another language for me). She took in each of my anxieties and fears with an open ear and even prayed with us when asked to do so. I love her heart! If we have any future legal matters (especially in the family area) we would be sure to ask her to represent us again, and so should you!!! You will not go wrong with such an amazing attorney!!! Her attention to details is what helped in winning our case. I am happy to say that my son will be staying at home with me!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
