Forever Grateful for Shannon DeBiase

After nearly two years in a highly emotional custody battle involving our grandson, we finally found the right attorney in Shannon DeBiase at Rodnunsky & Associates. Shannon provided the guidance, responsiveness, and expertise we had been missing. Most importantly, she brought our case to a succes...sful conclusion in just three months—something our previous attorney had been unable to accomplish in two years. She combines compassion with real effectiveness, and we are incredibly grateful for her help. We highly recommend her to anyone facing family legal matters.

Reliable Compassionate focused lawyer !

I could not have made a better choice choosing Shannon to be my lawyer! I was dealing with a lying ex-husband and Shannon did not put up with that. She was extremely knowledgeable and professional every step of the way . I was extremely emotional and nervous through my custody and divorce process ...and she was always reliable and compassionate. She truly fought for me and my daughter and she won our case!

Impressive

Shannon has helped make the process of dissolution feel as comfortable as possible. From the moment I walked in her office, I knew she was the right fit for my situation. She greeted me with warmth and compassion, something hard to find in this area of practice. Shannon’s kindness and attentivenes...s has helped me feel at ease during an otherwise difficult process. I came to Shannon with a difficult situation and she was able to handle it with grace. She has helped point out what is fair and in the best interest of my kids. She never hesitated to go the extra steps to protect my family and put my concerns at ease. I am forever grateful for Shannon’s expertise and would recommend her to anyone that has a need for her services.

Professional, honest and detail oriented

Shannon DeBiase got me and my family through an extremely acrimonious divorce. Not only did she get me through this process, I won in all aspects of my case - my debts were controlled, unreasonable and dishonest claims were thrown out, and, most importantly, I won sole custody of my children and rece...ived a very favorable child/spousal support award. Many attorneys will tell you what you want to hear so that you will hire them - Shannon will always tell you the truth of your situation as well as what you need to do in order to navigate through it in the best way possible. Listen to her. It's worth it. She is VERY REASONABLE as far as fees, and is very conscious about not putting her clients (or allowing her clients to put themselves) into a situation where they end up incurring extra fees that could have been avoided. Sometimes this cannot be helped - you may have an unreasonable ex spouse who just wants to fight as I did. Even here she will always do her best to control costs WITHOUT sacrificing quality of service. She is professional and very much on top of all aspects of her cases. Never did anything slip in my case, everything was handled in a very complete and timely fashion.

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I endorse this lawyer. Shannon clerked for my firm while she was attending UC Irvine, then went on to attend Southwestern University, where my wife/partner attended (and later our son), with our urging and recommendations. She excelled there and went on to become a Certified Family Law Specialist and named a Rising Star by Super Lawyers. Not too shabby! She was bright and talented then, and now she has shown she earned the accolades."

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.
