You get what you pay for

Around a year ago my ex tried to move to Texas with my daughter. She had sole physical and legal. I was referred to shon and after the consult my wife and I retained her. It took a year but we won. Shon was amazing to put it simply. Navigating the legal system like she did was truly a thing to b...ehold. She was even able to the job while holding our hands and answering all of my dumb questions. The detail that stands out to me the most though is her genuine interest in helping not only is but my child. Shon treated our problem like it was her family on the line. And for that reason my family owes her a debt that can never be repaid.

Heartbroken and very dissappointed

She proceeded with my case without ever gathering all of the evidence. This led to a complete loss that destroyed my family. The law was even on my side. She was either negligent or incapable either way my family will never forgive her.

From Stressed and Nervous to Relaxed and Comfortable

I was very nervous entering my first law firm until I met Shon. She quickly made me feel at ease by using personal experiences, humor and compassion. I felt comfortable right away and knew she would do whatever she could to help me.

Excellent Attorney!

Shon is an excellent attorney! She is smart, experienced, honest, dedicated and fair. She has represented me in several very important matters, and I have come away with a result that has been more than satisfactory on every occasion. She gives me sound advice and doesn't just tell me what I want ...to hear. I know that I can trust her to work for my best interest. Through the process, she also became a friend and someone I know I could count on if I got into a difficult position down the road. I would highly recommend Shon if you are looking for a family law attorney that will help make a painful process easier if there is any way she can. Thanks, Shon, for all you have done to represent me over the past couple of years!

Hired by me but worked for the other side

I didn't feel like she was working for me.I wasn't very knowledgeable on legal matters but I felt she should get more information on the other party. She discouraged me from hiring a PI and I later I learned she could have put in a motion for discovery which she didn't. I repeatedly asked her to get ...more information and she refused. I believe if we had gone in with even the small amount of information I have collected since we would have won and we could have gotten so much more through discovery. She continually told me we weren't fighting the other party but in the end the ruling directly compared us without her even trying to get the info or put it put there. Heartbroken client here
