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.

I couldn’t be happier with the counsel of Shallon Halttunen.

Shallon is personal and efficient. She pays attention to large and small detail alike. She works very hard for her clients. Shallon worked on my custody case for over a year and I always felt like she made me a priority and that she genuinely cared about the outcome. I truly believe by choosing this... attorney I ended up with the best case senecio at the end of a 12 month challenging custody case (*including having opposing party held responsible for my attorney fees).

Outstanding and Exceptional Representation

I hired Shallon Halttunen when my ex-husband of 10 years decided to take me back to court for the 3rd time. He wanted to take custody away from me, more parenting time, and to claim our three children on his taxes. I had been the primary parent for our children since our divorce and a stay-at-home mo...ther before that. I went to Shallon and told her my plight and asked if there was any way to stop this financial harassment and the emotional toll it had on me and my children every few years. She expertly knew exactly what to do and took charge of my case right away. She gave me straight forward advise and really cared about every detail and concern that I had. I have had my share of attorneys over the years and Shallon is a rare gem. I would highly recommend her to any of my closest friends because I know that she will work with integrity and tenacity to represent their case. Shallon won my case drawing on her depth of knowledge from her years of experience. My ex did not get any of the things he had wanted and walked away with less parenting time and also had to pay for my attorney fees. If you or someone you know is in need of legal representation, contact Shallon Halttunen. She is well worth every single penny!

Wonderful Attorney

I retained Shallon to help me with a complex divorce and custody case. Shallon was always professional and helped me understand the potential outcomes and implications of each situation as my case progressed. I am satisfied with the outcome of my case and highly recommend Shallon as an attorney.
