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.

Shannon McDuffie is an INCREDIBLE attorney

My husband and I were faced with mounting medical bills, old tax debt, and multiple garnishments when we contacted Shannon to discuss the possibility of filing for bankruptcy. Upon meeting Shannon, we were immediately put at ease with her down to earth nature, unending knowledge about the process an...d her non-judgemental attitude. Shannon was also extremely informative about alternatives to bankruptcy and never made us feel pressured to file. She is a highly intelligent and competent lawyer and I can't stress enough with how much she eased our anxiety with what was an extremely uncomfortable decision for us to make. Shannon always made us feel as if we were her priority and her only client. Her response time to emails and phone calls (of which there were many on our end) is absolutely stellar. No matter how many questions we asked or how many times we needed something explained or re-explained she was extremely patient and responsive to our concerns. Even with our case currently confirmed she is still communicative with us to make sure we understand every step of the process. Frankly, for all of the time and work she puts in...we feel she is incredibly underpaid. We are so incredibly lucky that we found her, that she was able to help us navigate this process with our dignity intact and that we have our life back on track. If you are considering bankruptcy and you need a highly knowledgeable, intelligent and down to earth attorney; we highly recommend Shannon. Thank you Shannon!

THE BEST!!!! Honest, Professional, Great Communication

I chose Shannon based on her reviews from this site in 2011. A creditor from 7 years ago began to garnish my wages on a bill my ex husband made in my name. Shannon met with me on a Saturday at my convenience becasue that was the only day I could get off from work. She walked me through the process a...nd since she is a one-woman operation communication was seemless.She ALWAYS responed to me within the SAME day from her iphone in a professional manner. She found other misc debts to include to be sure I was protected from future issues and even sent me helpful info to complete my taxes for the following year. I wish she handled all types of cases.

A Good Person to Have on Your Side

I never imagined that I would end up having to file bankruptcy – not ever! But you know the old saying: 'Never say never...' If it had to be that this was my fate, I am so grateful to have had Shannon to usher me through the process. I found her to be a consummate professional – knowledgeable about ...all the legal intricacies, responsive to my hundred and one questions as I came to grips with my situation, and encouraging as to the possibility of better days ahead. I highly recommend Shannon to anyone looking for a bankruptcy attorney. She is a good person to have on your side during a difficult time.

A real expert in bankruptcy filing - highly recommended!

I consulted Shannon McDuffie along with my partner in a post-foreclosure scenario where we were no longer really able to make any headway with really huge bills -- we were really just keeping up with minimum payments and getting nowhere. Shannon looked at both situations and determined which filing ...would best suit our individual needs, and she then helped me through a chapter 7 filing. She was always available to answer questions and was very quick to return phone calls or e-mails with factual and easy-to-understand information which made what could have been a horrible process very easy instead. Shannon knows the law and was able to make everything run smoothly from the first day to the last. My bankruptcy has now been discharged, and I am more than pleased to highly recommend Shannon to anyone finding themselves in a such a precarious financial situation. In fact, I already have -- she is now working the chapter 13 filing for my partner! Thank you, Shannon McDuffie!

"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."
