Bad lawyer

She will not fight for you , threw the hole custody case with my ex husband she was besties with his lawyer and completely Lack of communication, you will have to do all the work . To get hold of her is like trying to call a dead family member in heaven . She will tell you can remodify later and she... will help . Then she will not answer your phone calls or return your emails and blames it on her staff. She's narcissistic and incapable of doing her job properly . And don't worry, she does not care about any of her clients .

I am very sorry to hear that you feel this way about our work together. My goal is always to provide dedicated advocacy and clear communication for every client. Because this was posted anonymously, I cannot look into the specifics of your file right now, but I would value the opportunity to discuss your concerns directly. Please feel free to reach out to me personally so we can talk through your experience.

The Gordon Law Firm

The Gordon Law Firm has been a pleasure to deal with. I have used their services several times in the past few years dealing with child custody. They listen to what you want, they tell you what to expect and they aggressively, professionally move towards their goal in your case. These folks are great... at their job and way they handle their cases. They more than have my recommendation. Thank you Gordon Law for all the great help. I will always use your services when called for and refer you to anyone that is in need of the services you provide.

Very Caring Attorney

Shannon has been my attorney since 2013. During this time she has helped me through a nasty divorce, and 2 custody modifications. Shannon has been awesome through it all. She has been a wonderful advocate for myself and my children. I would definitely recommend her.

Thorough, Compassionate, and Upfront

I highly recommend Shannon. She cares about your questions and concerns-- even when you have too many-- and takes the time to explain and provide you clear, upfront answers. I've really appreciated that she is generally very easy to get a hold of, and, if not, has friendly and kind staff like her par...alegal Samantha that have also been so helpful. Shannon has been thorough, knowledgeable, and approachable. She reads people/situations well and knows who responds better with sensitive responses vs blunt ones, but even when having to be blunt she does so in a way where you can tell she just truly cares rather than for the sake of authoritarianism. Shannon works well with others and has a good reputation, but she's also not afraid to be firm and fight for you if needed. Thank you, Shannon, for standing up for those that have a hard time doing so for themselves!

Wonderful Attorney

Shannon is extremely knowledgeable, but also caring. She made sure I was informed and explained every step of the process. I would never hire a different lawyer.
