"I was counsel in a dissolution matter with Shannon as opposing counsel. While protecting her client's interest she was still fair and respectful which is exactly what an attorney should be. If I was hiring an attorney in a family law matter, I would give Shannon serious consideration."
"Shannon is an excellent attorney, with the knowledge, skills, and dedication to represent her clients fully and effectively. I have had the chance to work with Shannon on a variety of matters and she consistently demonstrates professionalism and care for her clients. I highly recommend Shannon."
"Shannon does a great job of advocating strongly for her clients while maintaining a professional demeanor. I strongly recommend her."
"I have worked with Shannon since 2010 when she started working at Nelson Law Firm, PLLC. She is an outstanding attorney in every area of practice. Shannon is diligent, knowledgeable and a great advocate for her clients. Shannon's dedication to her community speaks volumes about her character as well. I would not hesitate to recommend and fully endorse Shannon Simms."
