Phenomenal Lawyer

I personally can not express the depth of gratitude, respect and gratefulness I have for Shannon. She dedicated so much time, attention to detail and Passion to my case that i never felt like I was just a client, or my case wasn’t her priority. My particular case had some extremely unique and difficu...lt pieces to overcome, yet she kept focus on the goal and fought my case like it was a personal matter to her. I couldn’t have imagined a better result in the end and truly it was because Shannon was the lawyer on my side. She is professional, honest, caring and has an amazing work ethic. If I ever need a family lawyer again, it will be Shannon I ask to take the case without a doubt. She is exactly what her profile states; caring , tenacious, extremely effective and experienced.

Excellent attorney

I used Shannon to help with a custody dispute. She did a phenomenal job. She was so easy to work with and really listened and understood my concerns. She was also straight forward with me, laid out our case how she thought it would go and gave me great advice on which direction to take. and it worked... out just as she laid out. I hope to never have to go through that again, but if I ever had to, I would only hire Shannon to be my attorney again.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do 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.
