Missed a critical deadline

I hired Shannon years ago for a clear cut case against the state. She filed the paperwork and then when I called to follow up with her, weeks later, she was vague. She asked, "Didn't my staff send you the response . . . . ?" When I told her I hadn't heard or seen anything, she said she would send it ...to me. She never did. This was a very stressful time for me, as I became very sick and was ultimately diagnosed with cancer (certainly from all of the stress from the case), so I didn't persist. I realize now, so many years later, that she missed the deadline, by about 2 weeks, and just dropped my case instead of providing a response (justification) to the state on my behalf. I believe she should have been liable for missing this key deadline, which she should have been well aware of. She is personable and seems capable. If you choose to work with her, I recommend that you make sure she is well aware of any critical deadlines and that all of the proper paperwork is filed on time.

Senior Level Executive

Shannon Foley did an excellent job in settling my dispute. We avoided a trial and I was able to receive significant dollars owed in my dispute. Shannon is upfront and realistic about a case and its merit. She is very knowledgeable, experienced and thorough in her approach. Shannon is a tough nego...tiator, but operates honestly and with the highest level of integrity. Through the roller coaster ride back and forth between sides, Shannon was able to provide me confidence and surety as to our strategy for the case, risks involved and ultimately to an acceptable settlement. I highly recommend Shannon and appreciated the opportunity to have her on my side.

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Shannon hired my appellate law firm to defend the $2.95 million verdict she had obtained in the Conney v UC Regents case when the defendant appealed. As a result, I saw firsthand the excellent case she had pulled together and tried through the verdict and new trial motions. Her work was top-notch. I also know that her reputation in the employment law community is excellent. Norman Pine”"

Avvo Rating

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.
