Mara Lynn Shaughnessy

I hired Ms. Shaughnessy to assist me with the short sale of my home. She was very informative and helpful during the intitial consultation, & I looked forward to working with her. All she needed to get started was my $1,000 retainer. Too make a long story short, I gave her my hard earned $1,000 only ...to never speak with her again. I called, left messages for her, never a call back. I was only able to relay messages to her through the secretary. Out of frusturation, I requested my money back & was told that my case would be reviewed to see what $ remains. Unless my 20 minute consultation was $1,000, I thought for sure I would get most if not all of my money back. After a couple months and many follow up calls, I finally got a letter in the mail telling me that I would not be getting any of my money back. I had my realtor follow up to at least try and get something for my money, but I'm not sure what was actually done, if anything. I learned my lesson, but hopefully someone will read this & be fortunate enough to spend their money elsewhere.

I hired Ms. Shaughnessy to assist me during the short sale of my home. After our initial consultation, I paid $500 to retain her services. Over the next four months, I only heard from her after I left persistent emails and phone messages. Once she did respond, the messages were vague and inconclusive.... I was copied on an email four months later where she advised me there was nothing she could do for me. Four months and $500 later, I still am not sure what she actually did on my behalf. If you are looking for an attorney that communicates with you and answers your questions in a timely manner, I suggest you find someone other than Ms. Shaughnessy.

Mara Shaughnessy is an honest caring professional. I recently used her for a real estate transaction and was very pleased with her services. The transaction went smoothly and she was very good about having all of the information and being prepared. She is upfront and considerate, patient and pleas...ent to be around. I highly reccomend her. She has a good reputation among her peers and associates.
