Shannon McDuffie

Shannon D. McDuffie; In our opinion Shannon D. McDuffie is the best lawyer in the metro Atlanta area. Arguably the world. Having her as our lawyer is by far the wisest decision we mad in our finical hardship. • Shannon provided the most friendly and courteous environment • Gave us in-depth ...conciliation on where we were • Shannon did an outstanding job helping us understand the whole process • The process of what we needed to help us, get to where we wanted to be • Shannon returned calls promptly, responds to emails, text, and kept us informed every step of the way • Shannon understands, very direct and to the point, and has the knowledge and fortitude to fight for you for the best possible outcome. Shannon’s take-charge attitude, inclusive approach and strong grasp of bankruptcy law, is just one aspect that puts her well above other Atlanta Bankruptcy Attorney’s Shannon communicated all the options, she understood our tension. But knew how to add levity to the situation, crack a joke add an inspiring word to relieve stress. Always keeping us informed of the best probable outcomes and her primary concern was making sure that we were well informed to make the right decision for OUR well-being. Because of Shannon, what was a very difficult time in our lives was made very manageable and a smooth transition will be made, allowing us a fresh start back to normal life. The experience was a nice reminder there are good people out there. I truly hope if the need for a bankruptcy attorney is needed, you select Shannon McDuffie, You can’t loose with her on your side. Sincerely, Samuel J Thomas Jr

Knowledgeable, Respectful, Honest, Easy to Work With

When I needed help with my bankruptcy, I searched online reviews to find a good lawyer. I found that lawyer in Shannon. She was available to answer any questions I had as they arose, and she was very straight-forward and easy to work with. I felt that she cared about my case and respected me as a ...person. I highly recommend her.

Great Attorney

I retained Shannon to handle a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and at the time I didn't know what type I would be able to file or even if I could file at all. By the end of our consultation I felt that I had more than enough information to make an informed decision. There was no pressure or push from her at all... she wants her clients to be comfortable with the decisions they make. She handled my case and kept me abreast of all possible outcomes. She is the perfect attorney for someone that doesn't like surprises. She defied all preconceived notions of what I expected a lawyer to be like and handled one of the most difficult times in my life with sensitivity and compassion.

Attorney McDuffie was my lawyer and she did an awesome job. She is very competent and knowledgeable in the Bankruptcy area of law. She was very efficient. I highly recommend her without reservation.

Professional, personable, patient, courteous, prompt, thorough, available, inexpensive, knowlegeable, pleasant,

Shannon is the most excellent attorney I could have hoped for to handle my Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. I would recommend her to anyone. I will use her for any of my legal needs that she will handle for me. She will be the first person my husband and I will call for advice when one of us passes on. She ...is so easy to work with.

"Most bankruptcy attorneys run "mill" practices in which the client's file is handled mainly by paralegals --- and not qualified lawyers. Ms. McDuffie's practice is extraordinary in that she handles the entire client file from start to finish. I've had no qualms about referring clients to her."
