Exceptional Attorney!

I highly recomend Shana J. Black. She was thorough and put my mind at ease, especially in the court room. Shana took care of my kids and I, and for that alone I am so grateful. She truly cared about our well being. ​She gave me the confidence and direction I needed through the most difficult time in ...my life.

Thank you Shana J.

I met with and retained Shana J, she made me feel comfortable and helped me navigate through the legal process. She represented me better than I could have imagined. She explained things in a way so that I could easily understand. She fought hard for me and went above and beyond doing everything she ...could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn’t have asked for a better law firm or attorney and the result was better than I was expecting. Thank you Shana J.

I would recommend to anyone

I would recommend to anyone. They’re efficient, knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly nice. Shana J. Black specifically has been a pleasure to work with (and she tirelessly answers my many ridiculous questions). God forbid I ever get divorced again, but if I do I know who to contact!

Divorce and separation lawyer | Nov 13

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have seen Attorney Shana Black argue her cases in court, and I would want her on my side if I was ever in court. She is very well versed in divorce and family law, and finds weaknesses in the arguments of opposing counsel. Her work ethic in the office is exceptional as well - she is hard working, honest, and aggressive. She loves to win cases for her clients. I have made numerous client referrals to Shana Black."

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.
