This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

My experience with Shannon Ort as my attorney.

Shannon represented me in my divorce in 2010 which involved a complicated separation of assets accumulated over 18 years of marriage. I had interviewed several attorneys and selected Shannon, not because of her obvious expertise in family law and familiarity with the courts in my jurisdiction, but... because of her rational and non-confrontational approach. Her goal was always to resolve issues in a manner that not only acceptable to me but did not generate unnecessary attorney and court costs. I always felt that she had my interests front and center - not her own. She was well-versed in handling divorces with complicated finances. She was always readily available to answer my questions - I was not handed off to her legal assistant. Working with Shannon made a terrible time in my life less stressful. We avoided any court appearances and associated costs. My relationship with my ex, at the conclusion of this process, was not further damages which allowed us to work together in the interests of our children going forward.

Excellent Advice

We have hired Shannon to represent us in two separate cases. Without her expert advice we would not have achieved the positive outcomes we had hoped for. Shannon was able to give us realistic expectations, good advice and provided additional resources for us. She continues to provide us with legal s...upport and advice when needed. We would highly recommend Shannon to anyone looking for a smart, aggressive lawyer who is dedicated to pursuing the best outcome for your situation.

Shannon is my attorney and I am sure glad I have her rather then my spouse!

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.
