Shannon Cahill Coffey

After consultations with other lawyers, I met with Shannon and she represented me during my divorce. While it was a very emotional time, she kept me focused with regular meetings and to do lists. She is passionate about representing her clients and was always a phone call or email away. During the ...entire process, she kept the case moving forward and made sure it was resolved as quickly as possible. She genuinely cared about the best interests of my children. My case was settled through mediation and on the day we went to court, I knew I had superior representation. I will absolutely utilize Shannon's services again in the future, if the need arises.

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 represented me in an effort to get my child support reduced in 6/10. I had been paying a large sum, lost my job, and my unemployment did not even cover my child support. She was able to get it reduced by almost 43%. She kept me informed the whole way and was able to get it reduced during m...ediation and we never went to court where more costs would have been incurred. As my child support obligation draws to a close, she took the time to meet with me just so I could have the peace of mind that is was really over. She knows and understands the law, when to move and when to be patient, and just did a fantastic job overall. I would recommend her to anyone in need of good, knowledgeable representation.
