Posted by Nakita | February 22, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Highly recommended!

From day one I knew I wanted Shannon as my child custody lawyer. She took my case which was a rather controversial one without meeting me in person as I live in a state that doesn’t have jurisdiction over my case. I was given honesty and she was always upfront with me which I loved. If you want someo...ne to fight for you and put your best interest at heart, hire Shannon and the Gordon Law Firm. She is experienced and thorough and all the staff is very friendly and respectful. You will not be put on the back burner and you will get realistic outcomes! I can’t say enough wonderful things about my experience !

Withdrew day of divorce trial

She did perform SOME work on my case, however, she refused to perform ANY research with regard to a real estate document. She insisted that her interpretation (that I waived my interest in the property) was the ONLY interpretation and she refused to discuss with me the possibility that she wa...s incorrect, as she had stated she had never seen this document before. EVERY single conversation we had reverted to her focusing on the "waiver". In the meantime I discovered the true meaning of the "waiver", however she would not entertain my interpretation. Instead, she approached the judge the day prior to my trial and I believe indicated to him that we had a difference of opinion on the document and that she would be withdrawing. She left me in a horrible position. I had paid her over $7,000 at that point. She failed to obtain discovery from the Respondent re: financial issues and I was blindsided with marital debt that he had accumulated in the year (plus) we had been separated. She returned $5,000 to me ONLY after she withdrew and I was unable to secure other counsel. She was a friend and colleague. My concern is that if she would treat a "friend" who is also a practicing attorney in the area this way.... what kind of representation is she providing to the unknowing client off the street?

Thank you very much for your feedback. I am sorry that you had a negative experience with our firm. I do recall that this particular case resulted in a complaint filed by you with the Missouri Bar Disciplinary Committee, and the matter was subsequently closed with no further action, as no misconduct or malpractice occurred. I invite you to contact me directly if you wish to discuss this matter further. Again, on behalf of the firm, we appreciate your input.

Best Lawyer on this side of the Mississippi!!!

From the beginning Shannon has been extremely professional and has laid out realistic expectations for my situation. Never any empty promises, and all communication has been thorough, prompt, and upfront. Great attitude, and I will always come back to her, or anyone at her firm!

Shannon Gordon was very knowledgeable, caring and compassionate when representing me for my divorce. She kept me informed via phone calls, emails and answered any questions I had promptly. She did exactly as I requested and made sure that my best interests were represented. I would highly recommend ...her for any family law needs. - Divorce Client
