Gratitude

I first consulted Shannon Hall after my husband decided to separate from me when I was 74 years old. She thoroughly explained what a separation agreement would entail, and under what circumstances it would be worth pursuing one. I was impressed that she did not push me to do so unless I felt it mig...ht be necessary. When he decided to divorce me a year later, she guided me through the whole process, with kindness and understanding. She knew how to obtain information about his financial activities, and how to protect my future livelihood. Without her experience and acumen, I could have been a victim of my own naivete. I am very grateful to her.

Complicated custody

Shannon is hard working, dedicated, and passionate. She showed tremendous support through a very difficult and drawn out custody case. Great communication, very knowledgeable, excellent litigation skills. Very fair and reasonable billing practices.

Excellent & Ethical Attorney!

My case was an uphill battle from the start. I lived in a different state, and with a very unique custody situation. Shannon was the 3rd attorney I hired for this, and she exceeded my expectations at every corner. I had been a target parent of Parental Alienation, and had been dealing with a parent w...ho tried to refuse parenting time and contact as much as possible. Shannon never backed down, and did everything she could to make sure I could stay in contact with my child. Initially, my ex was awarded custody... I feel that Shannon represented me better than any other attorney could have, however the odds were stacked against me so I don't fault her for that. Less than a year after the judgment, Shannon was able to get a post-judgment modification of custody, which awarded me custody. This was largely in part to her diligence and ability to always be proactive with my case. Post modification, my ex has attempted several times to sneak into court (without informing me properly) in an effort to get emergency custody, only to be denied each time, thanks to Shannon's hard work and efficiency. Shannon is incredibly thorough, very detail-oriented, and can handle herself in the courtroom very well. She is very knowledgeable about family law. She does not beat around the bush or blow smoke up your you-know-what - she is straight-forward and honest with her clients (a trait that's hard to find in many attorneys). She is also very skilled at thinking outside the box, which is what was needed in my case. I highly recommend her!

An attorney who's attentive, and caring!

I found Shannon on this Avvo site. I appreciated her caring and good advise. I realized, I needed to find new legal representation for my divorce. I was stuck in a very difficult divorce where my first attorney wasn't able to effectively represent me any longer Shannon was willing to s...tep in and help me, knowing it wasn't going to be an easy task to take on at this stage. My only one wish is that I had retained her services, from the beginning, I think my divorce circumstances would not be quite as complicated as they are at the moment. I believe she's on top of things. I was greatly impressed with Shannon's willingness to take on a case like mine in the middle knowing it wasn't an easy one. I found her sincere and genuine! Her communication skills are excellent and refreshing! I appreciate her upfront honest advice in certain private matters, when my previous attorney had seemed indifferent. I also appreciate that she pays attention to what I am saying. And I had a lot to say, to be able to bring her up to speed on a messy divorce. She was very attentive! Coming into a case in the middle and playing catch up is no easy task, but this did not deter Shannon. I also found her realistic, and straight forward, while delivering her message in a caring kind manner. Even though the divorce is particularly messy due to my husband's bad behavior, I finally feel confident that someone else is looking out for me, and really cares to protect my interests! I left Shannon's office feeling a huge weight lifted off my shoulders today, knowing she'd do everything she can to help me. If you get the opportunity to read this Shannon, thank you! If you are looking for an attorney who's cares about her clients, please give Shannon a call. I highly recommend her. You'll find her kind, down to earth sincerity and genuine effort, very refreshing too!

"I have been blessed with the opportunity to know Shannon for several years now. I can say without hesitation that she is one of the most caring, driven, and devoted attorneys I have had the pleasure to be colleagues with. Shannon is highly driven, has strong attention to detail, and possesses a wide knowledge of the law. Those elements combined make her an excellent advocate for her clients. Being a good family law attorney takes more than just knowledge of the law-- it takes an ability to be compassionate and understanding of the client's feelings, needs, and desires. Shannon has the ability to listen to her clients and to help them create a solid plan to resolve the issues. Shannon has the experience, knowledge, compassion and drive that clients need. She is a great attorney and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent attorney."
