HIGHLY recommend Shannon

Shannon represented me through my divorce proceedings. She is highly ethical, results-driven and obviously an expert in divorce law. Even though she has a busy practice, she was available when I had questions, patient, and focused on the success of my file and my wellbeing. She provided excellent ...practical and strategic advice throughout the process, and her outstanding negotiation skills were evident during the mediation and settlement stage of my proceedings. She is an excellent advocate and I truly felt like I was in good hands throughout the process. I have already highly recommended Shannon to others requiring family law representation and I highly recommend her here.

Knowledgeable and Experienced

When I was faced with divorce, I quickly hired an attorney who was eager to take my money but did absolutely nothing for me! I quickly realized I needed to hire another attorney who actually listened to my concerns and devised a plan of action that worked for me. I immediately knew I was with the be...st attorney after a brief initial meeting with Shannon. She is professional, she is highly knowledgeable with the idiosyncrasies of the divorce court system in Harris County and she has solid experience. Shannon works quickly and effectively. She kept me abreast of all issues, documents and the process. Shannon made herself available at all times and went out of her way to check up on me during critical phases of the divorce. Shannon knows her audience very well. She is extremely familiar with the attorneys (divorce and amicus) judges, mediators, and knows what to expect and how to prepare. Shannon is confidant, but more than that, Shannon conducts her work and interactions with honesty, integrity and ethics. Shannon will take cues from you, but will also push you when needed and she will explain why it needs to be done. I felt absolutely confidant in Shannon and her abilities throughout my divorce. I realize one doesn't go into a marriage thinking of divorce, but should it happen, you will want and you WILL need someone you can trust and lean on, someone who truly has your BEST interest and will work hard for you. I will always hold Shannon in high regard for everything she did in support of my family and me through this extremely difficult process.

Apt Lawyer with empathy a rare combination

Mrs Boudreaux stands out as a respectful, professional attorney with a very kind hearted disposition in an emotionally draining and taxing environment. Family separation is filled with such charged situations - Mrs Boudreaux displays an array of skills necessary to navigate the court room and its pr...oceedings and (almost more) importantly with her empathy (rare in a lawyer) does not neglect the personal aspect of the unfolding family hardship/tragedy.

Posted by Kris | June 02, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Excellent experience.

Shannon helped me with my divorce. She is very knowledgeable and a good strategist. We were extremely prepared for our mediation. The opposing side was not prepared at all! She gave me excellent advice and was a really good fighter. She fought for me and kept me strong. I can recommend her enou...gh.

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."
