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.

God sent

I appreciated everything that Shallon was able to do for me in stopping the abuse that my ex was dragging our divorce out as long as possible, trying to bankrupt me. Shallon's knowledge of the law was what saved me. Thank you for everything you did to help me out.

Shallon is Amazing! Excellent Legal Representation.

Shallon is an excellent attorney to anybody who is seeking legal help in the matter of divorce. She is ethical, knowledgeable, and truly compassionate. I trusted her and her advise. Her and her teams organizational skills were amazing! They are very thorough, understanding and prompt in correspondi...ng. I felt encouraged and I'm very happy with the results of my divorce. I couldn't have done it without them. Sincerely, Joy Schmitt
