Adoption takes some time and money – as well as a mental, emotional and maybe even a physical toll – so it’s important that parents-to-be have an experienced adoption attorney like me as your advocate.

Truly Talented and Outstanding Attorney

Outstanding attorney! After 10 months of frustration and no progress with my previous lawyer, I contacted Shannon for a second opinion. She immediately identified a new strategy to move my case forward and her expertise on the local court, judge, and opposing counsel was a game-changer. I hired her i...n July, and we just completed final mediation with a full agreement yesterday. I'm so grateful for her help. If you want results, hire Shannon!

Shannon is a Cheat Code When it Come to Family Law

This review is a long time coming. I've worked with and relied on Shannon on three separate occasions over custody disputes of my eldest daughter. On all three occasions she was able to improve my situation and on two of those occasions where my situation was improved, I was on defense where I was t...he one that got served papers. I believe that Shannon's prowess as an attorney actually comes from her compassion for her clients. She really does take the time to listen to and understand the unique situations that each case brings and understand and empathize with the situation. She gives her best because she knows what is on the line. She cares for her clients because she takes the time to understand them and their situation. I owe Shannon a debt that I can never repay, because I owe her my relationship with my daughter.

Birth Certificate Amendment

We had our child via surrogate; however, during the height of covid the number of guests in the hospital was limited. Our gestational carrier agreement was in another state and our child was birth in TX. The hospital couldn't do anything to help us and the birth mother was listed as the mother on the... birth certificate. To have this change to my name was a challenge. Shannon fought tooth and nail with the judge. She didn't give up on us. She listened and even asked her colleagues for best approach. She looked for all solutions till we won. I would 100% recommend her firm with no questions asked.

Sr Developer

Shannon was fantastic! She is so intelligent and has so much knowledge, she takes the time to understand her clients and is a great active listener. Even though the pretense for me hiring her was serious and scary, Shannon was very personable and we had a lot of laughs and smiles along the way. You w...ill not be disappointed!

I interviewed several law firms before deciding to work with Miss Boudreaux and her phone and I’m glad I hired them. Sincerely, Kim Johnson

Child custody lawyer | Sep 02

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse Shannon because I have worked with her on several cases. Most, she was the court appointed Amicus who was appointed to advise the Judge about a child custody matter. Shannon has also been on the other side of cases with me. In both situations, Shannon was a very knowledgeable and polished litigator. She knows the courthouse and the individual courts and she knows and uses the law for the best interest of her clients. She is truly impressive. She is a tough adversary but always professional. I endorse Shannon Boudreaux as a very experienced and polished professional child custody lawyer."

"I endorse this lawyer. I've worked with Shannon on several cases and I can honestly say that she is one of the sharpest legal minds in the courthouse.

Family lawyer | Jan 31

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Shannon since she was a young lawyer and I was a law student. She mentored me in family law. Quite unlike so many lawyers practicing family law, Shannon truly cares about her clients, considers their best interests and can be relied upon for ethical and sound judgment calls. She knows the law, she knows the courts and she wins cases. As a former family law attorney who once worked beside her and now, as a lawyer employed by one of the largest global firms in the U.S., Shannon would be my first phone call if I needed a family law attorney. She is good people and in family law, truly good people are increasingly hard to find."
