Shannon Cahill Coffey

Shannon Coffey has been my attorney since 2009 and I can't put into words how invested and completely professional and loyal she has been in representing me in my legal matters. Shannon really cares about her clients, she returns my calls , answers my questions honestly and is up front with me about ...all aspects of my case. Shannon Coffey will be my attorney until my children are 18 at least.

Absolutely the worst divorce attorney, she appeared to frightened in court, she did not fight for me, I had to do most of the leg work instead of her getting her paralegal do the work, I would not recommend her, she will not fight for you. Seek elsewhere for your divorce , family , etc attorney. Abso...lutely horrible attorney.

Shannon was an excellent lawyer for what was a difficult litigation I was involved in with my ex-wife last year. She was clear and informative about the issues that I was facing and all the problems were completely resolved. I live in Canada, but my ex lives in Athens and I needed a lawyer to repre...sent me there and despite the distance and complications of this case, Shannon handled everything expeditiously and professionally. At no point did I feel worried or concerned about the outcome because I knew that I was well represented. It's my pleasure to recommend her to anyone needed legal help in Athens. In the courtroom, I couldn't have asked for a better litigator.

Shannon is my Angel!! She went above and beyond the call of duty to be an advocate for my child and me. She personally interjected opposing council's underhanded attempt to slide in additional constraints on standard court forms. She was busy with other cases at the time of my case as well, but she a...lways made my case her only thought when she was talking with me, and she remembered in great detail the key points of our position. There were some situations that came up during my case that she was able to shed light on based on similar cases that she had studied; she highlighted the pertinent parts of those cases to help me make difficult decisions based on her research as well as her discernment of the details of our plight. Shannon soundly advised me on the possible outcomes of any action or inaction on my part and wether or not my worries were valid. The true value of this special touch was found in a good night's sleep when it was overdue, and a quiet mind amidst trial day jitters. Before, during, and after my case I felt that Shannon had veiled my family in her protection, she knows the law inside and out and used it's perimeters to regain a comfortable life for us. Even now, after my case has been closed for quite a while, knowing that I can call on her for legal advice when life presents challenges around this situation, makes Shannon remain a constant source of strength in my life and for my family.

I had never had to work with a lawyer on a long-term basis (and hopefully I never will again), so some of the process was unfamiliar and frustrating. Shannon, of course, had other clients, and it was sometimes off-putting that my concerns didn't always receive immediate attention. But in the end I ca...n't speak highly enough of Shannon Coffey. I was in a somewhat unusual situation in that I live over 600 miles from Shannon's office, and our initial contacts were all through phone and email. But once we actually met for the first time I felt that she was emotionally invested in my case, that she wanted not just to do the right thing for me as a client but also as a parent, and in the process she enabled me to stand up for myself and advocate for my rights. I could not recommend Shannon more highly.
