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.

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.

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).

Great Experience

I consulted with Shallon for a child modification proceeding three years after the initial divorce. She was amazing to work with. She is very knowledgeable, straightforward and takes a global view to the situation. She understood that my daughter was my priority, so she made my daughter her priori...ty as well. We didn't have to go to court, but if we did, I am sure that she would have provided opposing counsel a formidable opponent. In the end, she was able to help me reach an agreement that was as fair as could be to all parties involved and prioritized the needs of my daughter. I would work with her again if I ever need a family law attorney.

Smart, timely and aggressive

I hired Shallon to seek sole custody of my two children, among modifying other existing agreements. She listened to my needs and had smarter ways to accomplish what I was trying to get done. I appreciated that input. She was very timely responding with me and the opposing attorney, also very importan...t to me. End result I have what I was asking for and I do recommend her to anyone seeking legal assistance.
