Shannon Cahill Coffey

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.

We hired Mrs. Coffey because from our first consultation she believed in our case and wanted to fight for our daughter as much as we did. As a father and step mother you start out as the underdogs but Shannon was confident the entire time. She helped us save money where we could and helped shape our ...case based on evidence we had. She was very confident and seemed to have all the answers along the way. She was not forceful and allowed us to make our own decisions regarding settlement. We would highly recommend this attorney for any child custody issues.

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 representing me in a divorce case and defended me in a TPO hearing prior to the divorce case. Shannon was excellent, fully prepared, listened to my side of all the allegations and won a dismissal of my wife's request for a permanent protective order. My wife's allegations were unfounded fr...om the beginning but she wanted me out of the house. Shannon exposed my wife's motives and during her closing arguments, she was concise and conclusive. I am very pleased I chose Shannon to represent me and protect and my childrens' future as we proceed with the divorce.
