Needed guidance during a difficult time.
A friend of mine referred me to a lawyer, for advice, who specialized in child custody law suits, it was Shanin Turner. During that brief discussion, Shanin was direct and to the point on actions that were needed in our case. We did not retain her at that time but 6 months later we did. She understood our challenges both personal, legal and how to proceed. We needed someone to fight for us during this difficult time and Shanin did. She's professional, insightful and honestly, she's a tiger. My wife and I are so grateful we had her represent us. Thank you!

Amazing Attorney!
Shanin did a great deal and fought hard for my daughter and I! We couldn't be more happy with the outcome! Unfortunately I had to start the SAPCR filing on my own due to time/monetary restraints. The other party hired an attorney last minute before the first hearing and I basically got bullied out of court representing myself in my daughter's interest. Once Shanin got on the case, she shut the other attorney down and helped fix everything and got a ruling in the best interest of my daughter! Thank you, Shanin!

Great attorney
Shanin represented us with two separate family cases. I highly recommend Shanin as a family attorney. She provides experienced high quality expertise while her rates are very reasonable. Thank you Shanin for all you've done for our family. We are forever grateful.

Wonderful Attorney
I hired Shanin to represent me in a child custody dispute that was prompted by my ex-spouse; it was particularly cruel and without merit. Shanin had my back and did everything she could to ensure my rights and interests were protected and pushed back to get me the best outcome possible. I am glad to have hired Shanin and will come to her in the future should the need arise.

Best of the Best
Shanin did an excellent job with contacting the state of Texas and my ex wife while resolving my child support issues. She was able to remove the outstanding balance with the state and was the ultimate professional from start to finish. I would recommend Shanin for any family law problems.

Wonderful!
Shanin Turner represented me in a divorce. She was knowledgeable, efficient, and truthful with me regarding my specific circumstances. Even with a difficult judge, Shanin managed to keep the focus on the best interests of my children and was able to protect them from my ex's wild and untrue accusations. I would recommend her, definitely!

Hands down best decision I ever made
Shanin was referred to me by a friend. Shanin took over as my attorney on short notice and represented me well. I told all my friends and family that switching to Shanin as my lawyer was probably the best decision I have made in my life. She knows her stuff and helps you understand as well. She was realistic and didn’t want to waste my time or money, but represented me well.

Amazing
Shanin what is absolutely amazing. I couldn't have asked for more. She is very knowledgeable, she is very quick-witted, smart, very dedicated and gave me strategies to be able to get through a divorce case and child custody. I am beyond grateful I found her and have already referred clients that speak very high praises of Shanin. This is a very painful and emotional process and she walked me through it all at all hours. Today is the day I signed my divorce and without Shanin I couldn't have gotten custody of my girls. Thank you for all that you have done for not only myself but my children as well!

Outstanding
Shanin Turner is hands-down the legal representative anyone should have on their side. Her ability to instill confidence in her clients while thoroughly explaining the process is second to none. Her expertise and experience in high conflict cases has raised the bar as far as choosing the most qualified legal counsel. From the ease of communication to the immediate connection and relationship formed with Shanin, I would highly recommend Shanin Turner to anyone needing legal help or advice.

FANTASTIC REPRESENTATION
Shanin was the THIRD attorney I hired to help with my divorce and I sure wish she had been the FIRST! After struggling for almost a year to make any progress, she managed to get it all done in a few short weeks. From the day of my consultation to the day of my divorce was a three week process! She had great follow-up and communication with me as well. I strongly recommend her!

Very good divorce attorney
Last year, I decided to divorce my wife. After researching for several weeks, I filed the initial divorce paperwork myself. But the difficulty of that first step made it clear that I needed professional assistance. I hired Shanin to represent me in my divorce. During our initial consultation, Shanin patiently explained the steps in a divorce. She got to work and got the ball rolling. She gave me very sound legal advice. I decided to override her one one issue, which was unwise. My decision caused the divorce to take much longer to finalize. Not taking Shanin's advice on this subject is my most significant regret for the entire divorce process. Shanin was keen to protect my interests, thinking of several contingencies and how to cover them. Shanin was very honest and candid about the issues that we discussed, which I appreciated. Shanin was very professional, even when my ex-wife became very emotional in her office. I was overall very pleased with Shanin's service as my attorney.

Extremely Satisfied!!!
We hired Shanin Turner to help with the adoption of our grandchild. She was very kind and professional. She was quick to respond to emails and phone calls. She did an awesome and thorough job, and made no mistakes. She paid attention to every detail. She completed our adoption in less than 4 months! We would hire her again, and we would recommend her services to others. We are very pleased with her!

Shanin was a Great Asset in Dealing with My Case
Shanin was a great asset in dealing with my case. Her straight forward, clear explanations helped me understand my position and make informed decisions. The time and attention was worth every penny. She completely out paced opposing counsel. We avoid a battle in no small part due to her carefully crafted documents.

Amazing experience
Shanin helped me to reach an agreement through mediation with my opposing party in regards to my family law case. my previous lawyer was not responding to my emails/calls for a weeks on end and I just had enough, so i decided to switch to Shanin. she was very professional and quick to respond to my texts/emails. she can see through the b/s other lawyers try to throw at you and her experience in family law definitely shows and I am completely satisfied with my choice in hiring her for my representation!
