About Shannon
Biography
I enjoy advocating on behalf of individuals, businesses, and boards in a range of business and property disputes. My passion is keeping people out of my office. I've successfully negotiated and resolved more than 2,500 matters on behalf of my clients - many before litigation and/or through mediation.
I'm a Loyola Law School graduate, my peers have rated me AV® Preeminent, I’m a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and I'm a Legacy Seat Holder of the Dean's Leadership Circle at UC Irvine’s Paul Merage School of Business. I'm also the proud mama of a sweet and precocious teenager.
