This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Thankful I did it.

I hired Shanin with relatively little time for her to prepare. We met, sized each other up--then got to work. Top 3 things I greatly appreciate about her: 1. Shes my attorney, not my friend. She isn't going to tell you what she thinks you want to hear. She is going to tell you how the courtro...om works, what you can and can't do...what matters and what doesn't in the eyes of the law. 2. Shes straight forward. Our options are A, B, C. and here are the relative costs, risks, and implications. Despite choosing a low cost option, she was able to achieve the expected high cost outcome. 3. She talks strategy and does it in a way that gives both of us homework. You are an active partner and she readily takes your feedback and DEPLOYS IT. When I said I didn't see the value in something, she dropped it and moved on.

Highly Recommend

Shanin is an amazing attorney. For lack of better term she is a shark for handling family law cases. I hired her for a child support modification that stated I owed $54,000 in back support. She was thorough in organizing bank statements from both parties getting my amount lowered to the correct amou...nt as well as getting my monthly payments lowered due to a pay decrease. She Is a straight shooter and will let you know when you are in the wrong and but focuses on primarily the facts of the case. I am highly satisfied with her services and 100% recommend her as your family law attorney.

Very awesome , gracious attorney

She represented me in a CPS case in which I felt was unnecessary as I'm already doing very similar services for probation and a family member had made repeated reports. Everytime an investigation was closed they would call again and cps wld come back to do another investigation. She got my case dismi...ssed on the first hearing. I was very surprised by her grace in the court RM, even tho I was skeptical at first. She really surprised the hell outta me. I'm so pleased with her work and I'm glad she was on my side lol

Great Family Lawyer

Family-related legal issues are often an emotional rollercoaster. Shanin is personable, understanding, and patient with her clients. She explains the processes. When seeking help in family-related issues you may be emotionally vulnerable. You can trust Shanin to guide you with expertise. She will kee...p you focused because she tries to be cost-conscious. Shanin is experienced and knowledgeable and will advocate for you. Her fees are reasonable. I can tell you from my own experiences that some attorneys I have encountered do not demonstrate any genuine desire to fight for their clients as they should, or even as thoroughly as they should. Shanin Turner is not one of those types of attorneys. She responds to me in a timely manner, and she explains things to me in easy-to-understand terms. I trust Shanin Turner to represent my best interests in all family-related legal actions and I highly recommend her.

On Fire Lawyer!

I love Shanin! If you are looking for a lawyer who will fight for you, Shanin is your woman! She is kind, to the point, gives great advice and is very respectable. I love that she can intimidate "the others" just with her presence in the room. Shanin is awesome!
