Brilliant, extraordinarily kind, and generous, special person!!!

I called Shannon's office last week, regarding complex, atypical, domestic violence issues, with an individual located in Los Angeles. Shannon was recommended by lawyer Kelly Chang. Shannon personally, returned my call the next day. I have been searching for legal help for over 3 years. Shannon is t...he first lawyer to substantially help me. I wish I could have her as my attorney! Unfortunately, Shannon informed me, I would need to find an attorney in NY- where I reside. Shannon listened to my story for two hours- free of charge- even though she knew, I would not be able to hire her!! Shannon displayed exceptional compassion, and kindness- while advising me re: the best course ahead. Shannon is the first person, to take time to listen carefully, and give me hope for the future. Her youth proved advantageous, in understanding technological aspects of my case. The sweet smile in her photo gave me the courage to call her- since I have dreaded calling attorneys after so many have been so unkind and disrespectful- (most hung up /cut me off in less than 5 minutes). Shannon's photo did not lie- she is an honest, sweet person- of great integrity. I will be forever grateful to her. As a young woman who understands complex female gender issues involving domestic violence- I can't recommend her highly enough! Thank you Shannon.

Excellent

I consulted with Shannon Payne regarding my custody battle. Shannon was always there for me from the beginning ...she returned my phone calls, emails, and answered all of my questions. She is a fighter. She is professional. She is well-informed. She had good ideas about strategy. She caught the impor...tant fine details. I would highly recommend Shannon Payne to anyone who is looking for a good lawyer.

Extremely knowledgable and there when you need her!

Shannon has become my go to for any and all legal advice. One of her strongest attributes is her ability to communicate well with anyone. She always makes herself available to answer any and all questions you may have. She is affordable, efficient and keeps you informed on your case! I recommend her ...to anyone without hesitation!

Recommended

I recommend this lawyer. I use Ms. Payne to review and revise my business contracts. She is affordable and always explains uncommon terms. She makes sure my interests are protected and I will continue to use her in the future.

Best decision I've ever made!

The best lawyer money could buy. As a former client, Shannon is the only attorney I run to, for legal advise. She's tough, informative, intelligent, and not to mention devastatingly good looking. I wouldn't trust anyone else.

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.
