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.

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.

I retained Shannon Coffey in 2009 and I believed in her and her knowledge of the law. What I found through the next five years of our client- lawyer relationship is a passion for justice and what is fair and realistic. She always kept me very grounded with my expectations. Time after time what surpri...sed me is her sense of integrity which is not always the case with attorneys. Today Shannon fought for my children like they were her own. That is my story and I do not take these words lightly. My attorney restored my faith in a justice system that I had given up on. She fought so hard for me to get my little girls back after 22 long hard months and I get to sleep tonight. Shannon won my heart and soul (my children) back for me today.
