NO divorce is "simple" -- get great help!

After making the difficult decision to terminate my first divorce attorney, I was overwhelmed with fear at the thought of bringing in someone new midway through the divorce process. Luckily, I chose wisely and came to find that my fears were unfounded. My experience with Shana - and with everyo...ne at Stearns-Montgomery & Proctor - was wonderful! Even though my divorce would probably be considered “simple” my many people, I believe the day-to-days of navigating *any* divorce are extremely stressful and mentally and emotionally exhausting. I am grateful to Shana, her team, and everyone at SMP for both their professionalism and their personal touches. Shana was prompt and professional getting the "simple" stuff done, but was also a strong advocate for me during meditation, and there to listen and provide support on my not-so-simple days. Additionally, both Shana and the billing department were very aware of my financial situation and made it a point to keep my costs to a minimum. I would recommend Shana and Stearns-Montgomery & Proctor without hesitation to anyone in the unfortunate situation of going through a divorce.

Superb Professional Lawyer!

I had the pleasure of acquiring the services of Shana Webb Pennywell to prepare a will for me recently. I had met Shana previously when she handled my divorce. She Is not only an experienced attorney, but interactions with her are always professional, courteous and friendly. Shana is an attentive li...stener and never caused me to feel rushed during my will preparation or divorce. She replies to emails and responds to telephone calls in a timely and efficient manner. Working with Shana is always a wonderful experience. She is knowledgeable concerning Georgia law, answers questions in a manner that is easily understood and always puts her clients interest first. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to meet Shana when I needed legal counsel. Whether she is handling a divorce, which is stressful enough or preparing a will she puts forth the time, energy and effort to make sure that in the end the client has the best results. I, wholeheartedly without any reservations recommend Shana Webb Pennywell to take care of your legal needs. Having Shana as your attorney is having the best and who doesn't want the best?

Child custody

Mrs. Shana has a unique attitude, professionalism, and character which was motivating to have represent me in 2017. In comparison to other cases, I would imagine mine to be simple/routine. However it was an enormous worry of mine and I appreciate the attention/professionalism shown by Mrs. Shana Pen...nywel. The true concern shown before ever discussing cost gave me a sense of comfort that I would be well represented. I would recommend her to anyone in need of great advice and determination from a lawyer.

Very positive end to contested Divorce

Shana really came through for me in a very difficult contested divorce situation, changing her schedule to accommodate a last minute request when my spouse decided we had to settle that same day or proceed through a lengthy court battle. She managed to get the entire settlement document drafted and ...hold an afternoon meeting with both of us to finalize the document, saving me a lot of time, money and stress with not having to go through multiple court hearings. Her skilled approach to the contested divorce situation involving a minor child led to my spouse being willing to settle and resulted in a very positive outcome for us.
