Excellent high quality service!!!!

First time ever filling bankruptcy. I searched and searched for a lawyer but Shannon stood out for some reason to me. So I reached out to her and told her about my situation. Everything she spoke of in her bio is soooooo true. She literally was there every step of the way. I had no issues at all reac...hing out to her. Always available via phone, email or text. Made my process very smooth. If you guys want a lawyer that you can reach out to anytime and not deal with a middle person. I highly recommend Shannon. I guarantee you want be disappointed with her excellent service. Thanks again Shannon

No One Does It Better

Ms McDuffie is awesome! She was there for me throughout the entire bankruptcy process and she helped answer any questions I had along the way. 10 months later and she's still there for me when I need her. If I had to do this all over again, I would choose her hands down!

Bankruptcy Help

I cannot say enough great things about Shannon and the ways she helped me deal with a very difficult decision. She was very thorough in her evaluation of my situation and after careful consideration, we determined that filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy was ultimately the best option for me. She kept the ...process clear and on a level that was easy to understand. I never felt overwhelmed or anxious during the process. I truly felt I had an advocate in my corner who was working on my behalf and was truly supportive through everything. Shannon is always accessible and easy to contact if needed. Although my bankruptcy journey has ended with Shannon, she has provided me with excellent information to help me with my post-bankruptcy situation and has given me insight on how to rebuild my credit and my financial well-being. I know if I picked up the phone right now and called her, she would be happy to help me in any way she could. Shannon is a true professional and I cannot thank her enough for her guidance through a difficult time in my life.

Outstanding Job

Shannon did a excellent job, with my Chapter 7. She kept me updated and informed about what is going to happen. She explained everything to me and answered all my questions. The day of my court hearing was longer than I expected due to the Trustee not being fully perpared; I was very impressed w...ith how she handled the situation and got the ball rolling with me being the chair for no more than 5 mins and out the door.

Posted by RIchard | November 02, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Shannon knows her law: did an excellent job.

I had just been through a difficult divorce and needed to get my finances back in order. I went looking for an advocate for me to file my Bankruptcy Notice. I first looked for an attorney near my home in Conyers. Unfortunately that did not work to well. So I found Shannon to be informative, straight ...forward and very knowledgeable. She handled the case with great care and expertise. I would high recommend her for your needs as well.

"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."
