Extremely thankful to have had her representation!

I spent a few years deciding on whether or not to get a divorce. When I had finally made up my mind to get a divorce from my then-husband, I knew that I would need an extremely competent attorney who would both fight for me and walk with me through the process of divorce. I had originally made an app...ointment with a divorce attorney from a big firm. Prior to my appointment, I began thinking about the kind of attorney (other than a divorce attorney) that I wanted to retain. I was afraid that I might be just another number or case with an attorney from a big firm. I wanted someone who was personable and who wouldn’t mind going the extra mile to explain the many facets of divorce to me. That’s when I went on-line and found reviews through Avvo. It wasn’t until after I read the review of another woman that swayed me to schedule an initial consultation with Shannon. I canceled my appointment with the attorney at a big firm and never looked back. After a few minutes into my consultation with Shannon I knew that she was extremely competent and personable. She took time to answer my endless questions and I also loved the fact that she has worked as a Guardian Ad Litem because I anticipated that there might be issues surrounding my children during the divorce. Her knowledge as a Guardian Ad Litem proved to be invaluable in my case because just as I anticipated we had to have a Guardian Ad Litem assigned to my case to oversee some crucial issues with my children. My case was probably a rare one in that it actually went to trial. Yes, I said that correctly, trial. There was no NBA or NFL money apart of this case. Just one extremely determined woman (me). I spent almost 13 years supporting my ex- husband’s military career and I believed that I should be awarded accordingly. Attorney Corallo advised me through the whole process and did everything she could in order to prevent the matter from going to trial. We offered proposal after proposal and engaged in many opportunities for mediation with my ex-husband and his attorney. Shannon was never intimidated and always stayed two steps ahead of his attorney. She also allowed me to make the final decision of whether or not to go to trial. Shannon stayed ahead of the game and often drafted essential documents ahead of his attorney. She was so patient with me and always made sure I had time to review documents, ask questions, and always made sure I knew what I was signing and more importantly she kept me aware of the impact both immediate and long-term. I found comfort knowing that I was not just another case or client in a big firm. I actually love the small firm feel of her office. Shannon always returned my calls, endless emails, and I even had her personal cell phone number that I had to utilize on several different occasions. In the end, Attorney Corallo tried my case during trial before a judge after several failed attempts to settle with my ex-husband and his attorney. She truly did exhaust every avenue of resolution before going to trial. She prepared me to take the stand, undergo cross-examination, and kept me calm during a day-long trial, even though I felt like I was going to be sick during the trial because of the emotional toll on me. She also always helped me adjust my expectations so that I had reasonable expectations. Attorney Corrallo’s strategic thinking in bringing in a financial expert to testify to my ex-husband’s military assets was invaluable. When the trial finally concluded the judge awarded me everything that I asked for!!! That would not have been possible without Shannon’s representation. I have already given her name and number out to a few friends and colleagues of mine who are considering divorce. While most divorce cases will not have to go to trial, it’s nice to know you will have someone in your corner with such invaluable experience and who will help you try and resolve your case in every way possible.

Best decision I could have made

Shannon is the ultimate professional and provided expert legal advice and guidance. She is prompt, thorough, well organized, efficient, and responsive. I was impressed with her ability to balance an appropriately aggressive approach to case management with a compassionate, open ear to meet my wishes ...and achieve my desired outcome. The support team at the firm operates in the same manner and is an excellent compliment to Shannon. Just an amazing experience with this amazing attorney.

Paul Secunda

Shannon was an excellent divorce attorney who was highly effective in working out a fairly complex, but amicable, marital settlement agreement for me. Her knowledge of family law, and associated areas, is without parallel in my experience. She is timely, professional, and pleasant when discussing le...gal principles and case facts. I really could not give a higher recommendation for a divorce attorney. She would be equally good for either gender. She also has great assistants (Meghan), office staff, and other service providers with whom she has very good relationships (i.e., financial consultants and accountants/tax advisors).

Awesome Atty

Shannon was very responsive in handling our case to enable a fair settlement. She is very smart and an excellent atty. She was very thorough in explaining everything to me during the process of my divorce and making sure I understand everything and what's best for my children. She was always there to... answer my questions, if she was not available Meghan was the person to talk to. She was always ready every court hearing and uses her time and my time wisely and cost effectively. She was not only an atty to me, but also she was an excellent advocate and I highly recommend her.

Best Lawyer Ever

I hired Shannon in April 2017 and was divorced in January 2018. I never had to worry about anything because she assured me not to worry. She absolutely did her job above and beyond, even when my ex-husbands lawyer failed to complete the papers in a timely matter. I would highly recommend her because ...she is fair and fights for what you deserve. SHE ROCKS! HIRE HER!
