Shannon L. Hall

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.

at first she was very attentive and seemed on the ball and quick thinking. then she got focused on the little irrelevent details, and spent hours racking up on little things for example, like a value of a car, instead of focusing on the bigger picture. In the hearing, she refused to ask the questi...ons to the otherside she needed to, saying it wasn't important, and refused to challenge the other side's witnesses lies, instead of discretting them, she kept dropping the ball. When i was on the stand, she forgot to ask questions we discussed. She forgot document copies on day of trial more than once, and asked me in court last minute for them. We lost the case, and before I even knew it she filed a lean on my settlement, not giving me a chance to pay. despite the fact, she was always paid, as requested, and had no reason to file against me without warning. It was bad for my credit, but she didn't care, and just said when I questioned why? Answer, to guarantee she got paid! how does an attorney turn on her client for no reason? she wasn't looking out for me, but for herself. I had written a good review in the begiinning when she took my case, but that was before the case was over. She may be good at custody when she doesn't have a seasoned apponent, but in a heated divorce, when the other side has a strong attorney, she panicked. Also dressing sexy for court didn't impress our judge, or help our case!

Shannon was very professional with her handling of our case. She was aggressive when needed and also very compassionate with the particular circumstances. With her having an office in Salem and Eugene she was more accessible also. She was very knowledgeable in the correct procedures of law (too ba...d some Judges are not). I would hire Shannon again if we needed a lawyer in Eugene or Salem.
