Expedience and Efficiency

I had made a decision with a lack of good judgement and had to come to terms with how this would impact the rest of my life. As I prepared for the worst, I reached out to a credible source and was referred to Shannon. Shannon listened to my issue and assured me that she would do everything possible f...or the best possible outcome of the situation. She maintained constant communication throughout the entire process and made me feel that she genuinley cared for my future. She was immediately processing endless forms and gathering information for my protection. All the while, negotiating and fighting for the best possible outcome. When all was said and done I was very impressed with the resolution. It was better than I could have possibly hoped and gave me a second chance at a fresh start. While the circumstances surrounding our paths crossing was unfortunate, I am grateful that it happened.

Lawsuit defense

Shannon took on my case and defended me in a lawsuit. Thanks to her excellent legal work, not only did we not have to pay any money in the lawsuit but the plaintiff actually ended up paying us!

Wonderful Attorney

I was referred to Ms. McGrath by her fiancé, who is also an attorney (who was referred to me by my uncle). I am a teacher who was arrested in a September 2016 for contributing to the delinquency of a minor for allegedly allowing a student to drive my car to McDonald's. The charges against me were dr...opped two months later partially due to Ms. McGrath's positive working relationship with members of the prosecutor's office. Immediately she submitted paperwork to have my record expunged and two months after the charges were dropped, it was. As it was my first time being arrested, obviously my family and I had a lot of questions. Ms. McGrath was always available to answer questions from myself, my mom, or my dad via phone, text, or email day or night. To make a long story short, thanks to Ms. McGrath and her fiancé I began teaching again 4 months after my record was expunged and I still hold a valid teaching license.

Great criminal defense lawyer!

Shannon is well versed in criminal law and helped me navigate the most difficult circumstances in my criminal case. She is very familiar with the Bureau of Prison, the plea process and is a tough negotiator with the US Attorneys office. I am very satisfied that because Shannon was on my team I got t...he best possible outcome in my case. I would highly recommend her for your criminal case.

Fast, organized and very effective at resolution!!

I gave Ms McGrath a case to settle that another attorney dragged on. She was able to have a settlement offer within a week and we settled. I already referred another friend to her.
