Shannon Eliza Stein

I am very thankful to Shannon for taking her time and providing an extremely informative consultation. I believe I have a much better understanding of my rights now.

Shannon was a compassionate, resourceful and respectful attorney throughout a complicated custody dispute. She helped me navigate and win the move away our children needed to thrive. She advised on how to organize my case, manage the evaluation process, and deal with various legal issues thrown in along the way. Her calm and consistent strategy helped me close a difficult chapter and I’d strongly recommend her help for family court matters.

I met with Shannon, she was my 5th lawyer I had met with for my asset division agreement. She verified everything I had learned through 4 other lawyers. And she added some other things, and was ready to start the lawsuit and she made it clear how I could end up with everything. I did not want to go to court, I did not want to drag my kids through anything, so I had her and I work out an agreement that covered all the bases. She was great, professional, clear and was easy to communicate with. We settled based on Shannon's agreement and are now settled and all the properties are divided in a fair and practical way. I now know who to send people to when they are in a situation similar to mine.

I cannot put into words how strongly I recommend Shannon Stein and her practice. I came to her with a complex custody case, involving an international relocation of children who were living mostly with the other parent, who was beset with serious issues of her own, due to an informal understanding about the relocation that had broken down. I had never had an attorney in the case, and there was no reason to expect an easy path. Shannon quickly took charge, and together with her wonderful colleague, Malavika, and kind and sensitive office staff, steered the case in the right direction. At no time did Shannon play “dirty,” which the opposing counsel certainly seemed to do; there were no insults, no yelling or provocations. There was also no wasting of time and funds on unnecessary litigation; in fact, Shannon’s clear mission was to seek an amicable resolution, with an eye towards coparenting in the future, i.e., staying out of court. 10 months later, we had a court order moving the children to my (their father’s) residence abroad. I cannot thank Shannon and her office enough.

Initially thinking I could do my simple divorce paperwork on my own I messed it up. Shannon took all the information sorted it out and presented me with options to resolve the situation. She was up front with all options and a joy to work with. Wish I had started with her first!!!
