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.

Highly Reccommend!

Shannon has helped me numerous times through the process of a divorce involving children. She is patient, thoughtful, kind, and all about conflict resolution. I felt heard and valued while also remaining reasonable with outcomes/next steps.

Shannon is Amazing

Family Law encompasses a lot of difficult situations; from divorces and custody to, dealing with, "the other side", there are many opportunities to feel emotionally overwhelmed and lost. I know because I lived it. I was lost and scared and angry. The reason? My ex decided to not follow our parent...ing plan anymore, and kept my daughter from seeing me for extended periods of time. My wife (fiancee at the time) and I sought legal aide and we came upon Shannon. We read a few reviews, mostly the good ones, with one not-as-good, just to be as objective as we could be. We felt good about Shannon, so we took a chance to meet with her face to face at her office and go over our situation. Shannon was great. She was attentive to what we were saying, she listened and had good advice on how to proceed. We then laid out a framework for our goals and how to achieve them. We left feeling like we had found the right person. Like I wrote earlier, Family Law is emotional and I was emotional. I was angry and scared. Shannon was calm. We really appreciated that about her. She made the process positive, and I don't think it generally is. Shannon was always available, (I couldn't believe how easy it was to get a hold of her!) I felt she made me and our case a priority. She had to deal with some unsavory characters in our case as well, and Shannon is the type who knows how to handle herself professionally. We, and I in particular, really enjoyed working with her. In all sincerity, I count Shannon as a friend. I know that every situation is different and unique, that's why I'm confident Shannon has the experience to guide you through whatever may come your way. If you're looking for a sincere, professional, caring lawyer then look no further than Shannon Hall, she's amazing.

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!

Shannon Hall: AMAZING lawyer who went above and beyond my greatest expectations!

I hired Shannon Hall as my lawyer to fight for sole custody of my daughter. I had done my research and a friend had recommended this lawyer to me and I am so glad she did. Shannon was absolutely wonderful... Not only did she do everything possible to help me with my case, she went above and beyond al...l of my greatest expectations. I could NOT have asked for a better lawyer; she answerered every question I had and if she didn't know the answer, she found it for me. Not only was Shannon prompt and got things done much faster than expected, but she took the time to make sure that I was happy in every aspect of my case. She made me feel like I was her first priority and she fought hard to make sure that I received everything I asked for from the courts and the judge... And I did! I couldn't believe how hard working and professional she was; I honestly don't think I would've won my case, had it not been that Shannon Hall was representing me and went the extra mile in everything I asked her to do. I felt appreciated and validated and I would strongly recommend her for anyone who is looking for a lawyer who is going to fight for you until you get everything you want and then some. Couldn't be happier with this lawyer. Hands down, best attorney/lawyer I've ever had the pleasure of meeting and hiring. Worth every penny!!

"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.
