The one you want on your side!

We were so impressed by Shallon’s attention to ALL of the details during a family members’ separation and divorce process. She is a go getter and helps walk you through this very difficult season of life. She is a step ahead in every situation. We were very appreciative of her abilities and her suppo...rt.

Professional and compassionate

I had the pleasure of working with Shallon as my attorney for my very complex and tumultuous Restraining order and Divorce case. I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, Shallon was the epitome of professionalism. Her and her team were always attentive to my needs, responsive to... my questions, and incredibly easy to communicate with. Shallon's expertise and dedication was evident in every interaction. She took the time to explain complex legal matters in a way that was easy to understand, ensuring I felt supported and informed throughout the entire process. Her compassionate approach made a challenging situation much more manageable. Thanks to Shallon's hard work and commitment, I was able to navigate my legal issues with confidence and peace of mind. If you are looking for a lawyer who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about their clients, look no further than Shallon! She truly made a difference in my life and my daughter's life, and I am forever grateful for her assistance.

Help in desperate times!

Over the last 6 years I have paid for 4 lawyers, the first one was good, very good, the next one was alright, the third one was down right awful and then we retained Shallon and felt like we had won the lottery. She cared about the children, even sat down and talked with them one on one. She worked h...ard and won our case. She understood how important it was, the gravity of our situation. Her fees were fair. She didn't do unnecessary work just to be able to send us a big bill every month, like others had. Shallon is an attorney with a conscience, heart and soul. She is competent, knowledgeable, masterful. Shallon knows her stuff!!!

Family Law Attorney

Shallon Halttunen, was a wonderful lawyer to work with. She is above and beyond any attorney I have ever worked with. Shallon, is sincere and compassionate about the matter her client is engaged in. She has a big heart and makes it known that what is important to you is also important to her. Shallo...n, is very intelligent and knows the laws very well. She fought for me to be able to keep custody of my three boys and worked hard to keep them safe. Shallon, is very respectful in court, but also knows how to be fierce and bring the truth to light. I give Shallon a 100% for fighting so hard for me and my boys. She is very professional and is honest and reasonable in her cost. Shallon, works super hard for her clients and does not do unnecessary work. She is cost effective and very fair. If you are looking for a family law attorney she is the one, she will not disappoint you.

Long, complicated divorce with great outcome

Shallon worked my case for two+ years. She is reliable, smart, quick, detail oriented and organized. I couldn't have asked for a better advocate for myself. Going through a very complicated divorce with children, assets and with an ex that lies and tried misleading the court during several trials...- his attorney encouraged shady behavior and Shallon caught everything. She knows the law like the back of her hand, knows the likely outcome and what to spend our time on. My scenario surfaced with the absolute best possible outcome and I know for a fact that wouldn't have happened without Shallon. I had Interviewed other attorneys but felt misunderstood and would have put me and my family in hardship had I gone those directions. Shallon is personable and was very timely at moving things along when I expressed concern for the oppositions slow pace. Her advice on every matter was on point. You will not regret hiring her. Money well spent.
