Always Available to help
Shana J Black was professional, courteous, understanding and available. There is no doubt that she's always on top of the legal aspects involved in the case. Unfortunately the other party created drama and issues that were unnecessary and I must say that Shana was always open and available to help....
"I have worked with Shana Black on a number of cases over the last 5 years. Shana cares deeply about her clients and provides a level of compassionate representation that you don't find from all local attorneys. She also cares deeply about the children involved in her cases."
"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."
