The best attorney I ever dealt with!

Mr. William Shanahan represented my grandson on charges filed in Jacksonville, NC. My grandson is from another county and was incarcerated there for the main charges relating to the one in Jacksonville, so communication was a problem. However, Mr. Shanahan kept in touch with me and never failed to ...return a call. I've never experienced such prompt and friendly service from anyone, much less an attorney. He was able to work with the DA and get the best possible outcome that we could have imagined - dismissal of the charges in Jacksonville, with payment of restitution. I would recommend Mr. Shanahan as an attorney because of his diligence and his friendly, prompt communication. I know he is a very caring man and hope that anyone needing good representation will use him.

Graduated top of his class from a premier tier 1 law school (tier 1 is the highest tier of law schools)

I first met Mr. Shanahan at the District Attorney's Office in 2011. After observing Mr. Shanahan's dedication, integrity, intelligence, and work ethic, I recommended he be hired upon his graduation from law school. However, prior to his graduation, I began my own firm. As such, I, along with my pa...rtners, engaged in vigorous recruitment strategies to secure his placement at our firm. Needless to say, we were pleased he accepted our offer. I can say, without a doubt, that Mr. Shanahan is a far more zealous and competent advocate than some of our local "seasoned" attorneys. I trust Mr. Shanahan with all of my cases and I seek his counsel in many matters. He has an incredible aptitude for legal research and an amazing ability to convey complicated legal arguments.
