Shannon Cahill Coffey

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.

I began working with Shannon 4 years ago. I wanted sole physical and legal custody of my 2 years old child. It became a very complicated case , with several lawyers and DFCS to work with. There were many facts and emotions involved, which Shannon kept all in focus.. She was always available, and s...traight forward. Valuable time was never wasted on superfluous information. She heard my concerns, listened to my fears and kept my eyes on the prize which was what was best for my child. It took 3 long years to settle this case. Even through the pregnancy and birth of her 2nd child; she was always available. I was in and out of the court room many times, where she was always more than ready and she always prepared us for what was a very emotional and stressful courtroom. With Shannon's due diligence and guidance ,I have sole legal and physical custody of my child, something that a dad doesn't get very often. Shannon fought for me in the courtroom and the conference rooms always fighting for what was best for my child. Through the long 3 years, Shannon proved herself time and time again as an ethical, professional, and efficient attorney. Because of Shannon my child is in a secure, stable and loving home. I will always remember her and what she has done for my family.

Shannon and I worked together to fight a petition to modify the existing consent order for the custody of my 10-year-old son. Shannon and I worked very carefully on the current consent order (that was being petitioned for modification) in 2010. Shannon remembered both me and my case from 4 years ag...o and immediately jumped in to get the ball rolling to both show reason to deny the petition for modification and file an immediate counterclaim to ensure that my parental rights were being protected. Shannon understood my situation and worked with me to ensure all pertinent facts were documented. She arranged all hearings, mediation, and depositions to make sure that we had all of our bases covered and that the trial would not force me to be away from my son for another school year. Despite my case being extremely complicated, Shannon helped me focus on the facts that were most relevant to the case and went above and beyond to prepare me for trial. Shannon prepared stunning visuals to be used during my trial so that the judge was able to get a snapshot of the 5-year time period in question very easily with no confusion. I was told by the mediator and other law professionals that I had only a 35% chance of winning my case. After a grueling 12-hour trial, the judge awarded me with exactly what we were seeking! Shannon remained steadfast and sharp throughout the entire trial, despite the crunch for time we faced near the end. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Shannon is one of the best lawyers I have dealt with. She was upfront and honest about everything from day one. Her professionalism and thoroughness in preparing for my case was truly amazing. Within hours of our first phone call, Shannon had sent me an e-mail with a list of documents and information... that she needed from me and also had a basic outline of her defense strategy. This particular case was especially challenging for me because Shannon is located in Georgia and I live in Pennsylvania, making communication harder for both of us. In spite of this, Shannon kept me informed at all times, always responded to e-mails and phone calls in a timely manner, and answered any and all questions that I had. Should I ever encounter legal problems in Georgia again, I will definitely contact Shannon first. I would unequivocally recommend her to family and friends in need of a competent and confident attorney!
