Review Shannon Wilson

False arrest DUII

Posted by

Shannon was referred to me by a good friend. She did an amazing job through the seven months of trial preparations and trial! Shannon adds to the real human factor with compassion and professionalism that truly sets her apart. I could not be any happier with all she has done! Jury verdict "not guilty". GOD bless you Shannon!!!

Shannon Wilson's response: I enjoyed working with you as a team! Together we tackled the State's "experts" and blew their case out of the water. I am so relieved that you can move forward with your life, free from government interference!

Trustworthy, Responsive, and an All Around Winner

I worked with Shannon on a sticky landlord issue in the last month. She coached me through it until the end, and helped to ensure that my rights were upheld--as well as going above and beyond to make sure that my issue was resolved. Although I never wish a landlord issue on any friends or family, if something does happen, Shannon will be the first person that I would refer them to. I highly recommend her.

Shannon Wilson Review

Shannon helped us with a landlord tenant dispute. She was extremely knowledgeable and timely with her responses. During this sometimes stressful situation she was always professional. She gave accurate information and guided us through the process. We were very glad to have her on our side. She was referred to us by a fellow attorney who had worked with my mother. Thanks Shannon.

GREAT LAWYER AND GREAT PERSON

Posted by

I had only worked with 1 lawyer before Shannon, and frankly felt like a 'number' in his cue. When I first spoke with Shannon I found her to be extremely knowledgeable, to have empathy and to be highly responsive. The months that I have been working with Shannon have proven my initial assessment of her to be true. In addition, she has an excellent work ethic. She is making it much easier for me to get through this difficult situation. I also have the peace of mind that whatever can be done on my behalf, legally, is being done. She is always very pleasant to speak with and I feel very grateful that Shannon is my lawyer.

In the 'village' of practicing law, it is essential to be well rounded with a sense of when to sit silent, when to make friends, and when to roar; Shannon has all of these vital skills. Her sense of telling the truth with her best case/worst case information gives clarity for her clients to make THEIR best choice and set forward a plan. She is detailed, prepared and compassionate. I've watched her take on arrogant prosecutors with more field experience than she has and yet walk away with a win for her client and the prosecutors remain her friend. She has a tenacity unequal to her years, and a profound sense of the timing in the law field. If you need an attentive attorney, I'd hire her before she's so busy she won't have room for anyone else. I've watched her handle cases I was involved in over the last 3 years, and her work ethic never wavers. She has a special heart for veterans and the problems that arise on the home front.

Very Satisfied

I am so comfortable and happy with Shannon's services. I would reccommend her to everyone!

Informed and in Iraq

Posted by

While i was home on leave from Iraq, i received a DUI. Shannon agreed to help me knowing that had to be back in Iraq in three days. She took care of everything as well as informed me the whole time i was in Iraq, there was never a moment i didn't know what was going on with my case. I highly recommend Shannon for your representation.

Highly Recommend This Lawyer

Shannon went out of her way many times to stay on top of every detail of this case. She worked the Clackamas County Circuit Court house as though she had known the court room players for years even though it was not the court house where she has had most of her experience. She put me at ease and kept me informed always.

I collaborated with Shannon on a brief criminal matter and a longer a civil rights / landlord-tenant suit. She is dedicated to her clients, passionate about the law and a brilliant advocate. You'll be in great hands if you hire her for any areas in which she practices.

Shannon is an effective, compassionate attorney and works hard to get great results for her clients.

Stephen Gingell, Criminal defense Attorney on Oct 25, 2012
Relationship: Worked together on matter

Shannon and I worked together on a criminal matter for a non-citizen. She was able to create an imaginative and effective criminal defense that made a huge difference to the client's immigration case. Because of her creative work the client is here legally, rather than deported on an unfounded criminal charge. On a personal level Shannon is friendly and pleasant and takes pleasure in her work and her clients.

Shannon Wilson is a top-notch attorney and a vigorous advocate for her clients. She is a tough opponent in the courtroom and will take the time to make legal proceedings less intimating for a client. I would definitely recommend Attorney Wilson to anyone needing legal representation.
