Real Estate Advice

I contacted Shannon Law Office asking for assistance with a quit claim deed. I met with Wally Shannon, and after discussing my circumstances, Wally came up with a better solution. Everyone in the office was helpful and knowledgeable. I would use Shannon Law Office again if the need arose.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
