Posted by Steve | December 03, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Couldn't have asked for a better attorney.

When my wife left me and filed for divorce I was floored and completely taken by surprise. I stumbled across this website and researched more attorneys than I care to think about. After setting up some appointments with some other attorneys I contacted Shannon. During a brief email exchange and phone... call, I knew she was the person I wanted to represent me. I cancelled all other appointments and never once looked back. During the entire process there was never a question about whether or not Shannon had my best interest in mind. She was truthful and honest, she was direct with me when she needed to be but more importantly she didn't back down with opposing counsel when threatened. She explained all the paperwork when I didn't understand. She always told me what my options would be if we chose to go a different route. I never once felt that I didn't have control of the situation or that I didn't have a say. While my proceedings were probably quick, (just over a year, through no fault of Shannon's or my own, I think it could have been resolved quicker). I honestly feel Shannon did everything in her power to minimize my expense but give me the best possible outcome. While not every situation is the same I would highly recommend giving her a call to determine if she will be right for you. I cannot thank her enough for all she has done for me and my child. I don't think it's very often that you hear people who like their divorce attorney but I can honestly say I do.

Satisfied Client

Shannon has been a very professional and compassionate advocate for me during the dissolution of my marriage and in handling post-divorce issues. I would highly recommend her for your family law needs.

OUTSTANDING!

Shannon and her husband Chris did an outstanding job presenting the facts that were to determine the fate of our autistic grandson. Shannon never lost sight of the fact that this case was about the child. She and Chris were extremely well prepared with the true facts of the case. They left no ston...e unturned. I cannot express how grateful we are that we were directed to Shannon, especially after having had a terrible first experience with another firm in Tampa. Shannon and her husband are THE BEST!

Professional reliable attorney

I hired Shannon in May 2015 for a case that lasted through to December 2015. I needed a lawyer that was very professional, experienced, and was available when I had questions or when important situations arose. Shannon was able to go above and beyond all of these things as she is a lawyer that gets t...he job done by working hard, giving honest advice, and who cares about her clients. I had the most important job of my life to hire an Expert lawyer that would help me for a life shaking event in my life and Shannon was with me working hard every step of the way and we were able to get a positive outcome thanks to her hard work and dedication. I would definitely highly recommend and hire her again.
