Shannon Cahill Coffey

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 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 an impressive attorney. She gives unbiased expectations, and takes the time and concern to be more than adequately prepared before trial. She makes sure that her clients are aware of all possible outcomes while keeping a positive and confident outlook. Preparation is one of her strongest p...oints and she displays this in an organized fashion in the courtroom where she is truly in her element. She uses researched and supported facts as well as timely and sound objections to bring the truth to light and tenaciously fight for justice. Shannon is competent, dedicated, honest, and has earned respect from her clients and professional peers.
