Very Helpful

I have used Ms. Shaughnessy for several of my legal needs. I have always found her to be prompt and responsive to my questions and concerns. I would recommend Ms. Shaughnessy.

Stay away...

We spoke with Ms Shaughnessy after accidentally being thrown into foreclosure by our mortgage company. We had a consultation in which we thought she would be able to successfully handle our case. We paid her a $1000 retainer fee and after that it was all downhill. She missed the court deadlines for r...esponse, did not promptly call us back and her staff was rude on top of that. I would not recommend her in the future.

Really understood my legal problem

I have used several attorneys in the past. When I moved here it was important for me to find an attorney that could help me with the purchase of my home. Mrs. Shaughnessy assisted me and the purchase was flawless. Can't thank her and her staff enough.

A Sincere Thanks

Going through a divorce is never easy, but Mara genuinely helped both legally and emotionally. She kept me informed every step of the way and helped make a trying time easier for me.

Awesome Results

I contracted Mara to assist with the short sale closing of my home. She and her staff were excellent about keeping me informed. I can't say enough about how easy they made the emotionally difficult experience for me.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
