Truly Has Your Back

For my divorce, I originally hired a lawyer that did very little for me. In fact the only good thing that he did was stop the divorce, which allowed me time to find Shannon Foster. I read every review that I could find on her and finally decided to consult with her. I was very nervous because of wh...at I had just been through with the other attorney. Shannon is very thorough, quick with responses, and will have your back. After I talked with her that first day, I knew I had to have her represent me. She is straightforward and to the point. I never wandered if she was going to fight for me. She proved it over and over again. Anytime I had a concern she addressed it immediately with, not only myself, but my ex husband’s attorney. She is fearless and doesn’t back down! I was married for 20 years and had been teaching for 20 years. She was able to protect 100% of my retirement. I’m am so thankful to God for leading me to Shannon Foster. With her by my side, I felt like anything was possible. If you’ve been through a divorce or are going through one now, you know how important it is to have someone on your side. Someone to fight for you, someone that can alleviate your fears somewhat, by responding to your questions, someone who is quick with responses and quick with action, someone who can get the job done and get it done right! So if you find yourself needing an attorney, she is the very best, in my opinion. I did a LOT of research after that first attorney. Don’t waste time and money on someone that you HOPE will do you right. Hire Shannon Foster and you won’t have to wander if you made a good decision or 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.
