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.

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.

Great divorce attorney

Shallon and her paralegal Michelle were awesome in how they handled my divorce. They kept me informed every step of the way, were very responsive to my questions and concerns, and kept the process going when things got stalled. I highly recommend her.

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

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.
