A great experience

I was reluctant to approach a lawyer to manage my claim - did not have a good experience (and opinion) until I met Joe. He is a highly ethical person, with a clear and honest approach that has helped us navigate through a difficult time in the best possible way.

"Joe Shannon is a lawyer that has made it his mission to provide his clients with exceptional service and has proven his commitment to successfully getting them the outcome they deserve. Throughout his many years of practicing law he has handled several types of cases which include transportation, product liability, medical and professional malpractice, medical device, automotive, employment, construction, insurance coverage, and commercial issues. His book “Transportation Law, Rights, and Injuries: Charting Your Course of Legal Action” further demonstrates his passion for the work that he does. For anyone pursuing a car accident, that is the book to read. Not only has he been able to commit himself to helping his clients when they are at their most vulnerable, he has also proven to be a fantastic family man. I have the utmost respect for Joe and would recommend him to anyone."
