This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

I could never give a stronger recommendation for anyone!

After 36 years of marriage, I signed a Separation Agreement written by my wife's attorney without the benefit of having an attorney of my own. It appeared to cover a list of requirements that I wanted, but it was what wasn't covered that presented problems. I signed the house over to her and gave h...er two years to pay me my half of the equity, $150.000.00. I didn't ask for a Promissory Note, interest on the money or list enough specifics about what would happen if she defaulted on the payment. I found Shannon with a recommendation from my business attorney. After our first meeting my optimism soared, I knew that she was the one in a thousand who could turn defeat into victory, and she did. She is pleasant to work with, efficient and perceptive. The legal document she constructed for my wife and her attorney could best be described by a quote from Lyndon Johnson as he described his pleasure over the passage of the 'Gulf of Tonkin Resolution' in 1964..."It's like Grandma's nightshirt. it covers everything." Three weeks later $150,000.00 was deposited into my checking account. Thanks again Shannon!

Hard driven excellent lawyer

Shannon Snow represented me in a very difficult custody battle of my two daughters. As being the father in this matter i knew it was not going to be a easy task. However having Mrs. Snow on my side gave me some comfort. She worked hard, was very thorough, and left no stone unturned. there were times ...it got really messy but Shannon wouldn't give up or let me throw in the towel. She has real grit and doesn't back down. This stressful battle resulted in me winning full custody of both my little girls and i couldn't have done it without her. If i ever needed help again i know exactly where to go. If you ever need a peace of mind Mrs. Snow is the Attorney for you.

Takes care of business!

Shannon is very responsive and knows what she is doing! If you are looking for a cheap minor league lawyer don’t hire Shannon! If you are looking for a professional who is honest, who does the right thing with Major League professionalism and gets results hire Shannon! You get what you pay for in thi...s business without a doubt and she is worth it! I highly recommended Shannon Snow! Would hire her again!

Shannon Snow is the Best Attorney in Salem Oregon

Shannon Snow is the Best Attorney in Salem Oregon. In 2016 I found myself in a Divorce after a short term marriage. My ex husband was trying to take real property from me that he had little to no money invested in. We had a house built using my money to do so. I originally hired an Attorney in Salem... to represent me in this action. After a period of time and money wasted I was lacking results in this serious matter. It was then I hired Shannon. Almost immediately I started seeing results. Shannon was amazing. She is professional yet she is compassionate. I would hire her again if necessary as well as I would recommend her. I would also like to mention she represented a member of my Family and my Family member received wonderful results. I cannot Thank Shannon enough.

Gifted, hard working, high quality lawyer

Shannon represented me in my divorce of my spouse of 20 years. My divorce involved dealing with a spouse with mental illness and figuring out a parenting plan and custody for our children. Shannon is a lawyer that will continually keep on fighting for you but in a respectful, calm and intelligent ma...nner. During the divorce and the worse time of my life, I was able to have peace of mind knowing that I could trust Shannon to expertly handle the details of my divorce. She is very tough but also caring and honest. You can count on her to give you realistic, knowledgeable advice. She is efficient and is always on top of every detail of your case. I was continually amazed and impressed at the fabulous quality work or her work. My divorce was finalized five months ago. Shannon has checked several times to see how my kids are doing. I feel that the outcome of the case is exactly what it should be. During the case it was hard for me to see beyond my own emotions and difficulties, but Shannon continued to give me a better perspective and realize that the case was proceeding in the proper direction. I feel blessed and thankful that I was able to find such a gifted lawyer during the most difficult time of my life. Shannon was recommended to me by another friend who had also gone though a divorce and was also very happy with Shannon’s services.
