very personable
When meeting Shannon right from the start I felt comfortable. He made me feel like we were old friends and very understanding to my situation. Shannon has stayed in close contact with me on my case letting me know what is going on and answering any questions I may have had. Sometimes its hard to understand all the big lawyer words, but Shannon always filled in the blanks. I am very satisfied with the treatment I have received and the drive for my case. I would recommend Shannon McDonald to represent you.

Client Review
Shannon McDonald provided considerable help for my case. Shannon was referred to me after helping a business colleague obtain a substantial settlement. Shannon is very knowledgeable about the law and has a good sense how to apply it to settle a case. Shannon is very focused and dedicated ton helping his client. While there may be numerous attorney's to choose from, Shannon to me was far more interested in helping me, took considerable time to understand my case and was terriffic at keeping my case moving toward a settlement. Shannon is easy to talk with and makes you feel very comfortable when working with him. I would highly recomend Shannon (and already have) to anyone secking legal representation.
