Willing to work with me on my terms for Divorce settlement

Ms. Stein and her office handled my divorce very professionally and were able to help me through what we had attempted to do as a DIY divorce. She was willing to talk through all the issues and didn't press us to pursue litigation. Her office explained all the steps and really helped us finalize eve...rything as painlessly as possible.

Smart, kind, thorough, and knowledgeable!

Our family has been dealing with a very contentious, complex, divorce and custody situation. Shannon doesn’t practice in our geographic area but she agreed to consult with our lawyer. Shannon Stein was professional, knowledgeable, kind, and thorough. She was available to answer questions and was a...lways quick with her responses. She shared successful strategies with our lawyer and helped us find a resolution where we thought there was no good outcome possible. We highly recommend her services and the way in which she delivers them.

Excellent attorney

I had the privilege of working with Shannon for legal advice during my divorce proceedings, and I couldn't be more pleased with her services. While I didn't require full representation in court, I leaned on her expertise and guidance heavily, and I was consistently impressed. Shannon demonstrated ...a remarkable level of professionalism and efficiency throughout our interactions. One thing that stood out was her responsiveness; she was always quick to address my questions and concerns, providing clarity and peace of mind during a challenging time. It was evident that she had a deep understanding of family law, and her ability to explain complex legal matters in a way that was easy to comprehend was greatly appreciated. What truly set Shannon apart was her impeccable organization and attention to detail. She had her act together from the start, ensuring that every document and piece of advice was on point. This level of diligence not only saved me time but also instilled confidence in her abilities. I wholeheartedly recommend Shannon to anyone seeking legal counsel during divorce or family law matters. Her expertise, responsiveness, and professionalism made a significant difference in my experience, and I am grateful for her support during this challenging period in my life. Thank you, Shannon, for your outstanding service and guidance.

A very knowledgeable lawyer

My case it not over yet, but Shannon is working very hard for my case (an abused women with 3 sons) to get justice and not beings through out of house with my 3 kids.

"I would strongly recommend Shannon Stein to any individual requiring a family law attorney. While Shannon is extremely compassionate, ethical, and competent, the factor that most stands out is her desire to reduce client costs and go about family law litigation in a measured and reasonable manner. Shannon is not the type of attorney who profits at the expense of her clients. She finds a way to successfully forward her client's agenda without unnecessary delay or expense.
