I assisted Shannon on several different cases, and each time I did, she proved her worth, not only as an attorney, but as a mentor. It did not matter to Shannon if you had $1 or a Million, she treated each client the same and defended and fought for each of them with the same vigor and determination. Being an attorney is not just a job for Shannon, it is her life, and she gives everything she has to each of her clients."
