Shana is a brilliant attorney. She brings new meaning to professional, always keeping her cool in stressful situations and thinking with a clear head. She is not afraid to stand up for her clients and fight for what is right. She is also not afraid to stand up to her client and let them know when what they want is not in their best interest. I have worked with Shana for several years and plan to keep her as my only attorney until I am no longer in need of legal services in the area of family law.

Shana Thompson is a fighter. I wouldn’t want to get her angry or have her on the opposing side in court. She picked up my divorce case in mid stream because my first attorney had to focus on other cases. I chose my first attorney based on distance. Don’t let the drive to North Seattle deter you. There is a big difference in attorney’s expertise and personalities; finding the right one who connects with you and fights for you, and can see through the tough emotions you’re going through is the most important decision someone going through a divorce can have. Ms. Thompson was for me a keen and eloquent observer, speaker and writer, graceful in performing her job. She was also like a body guard standing at my side protecting me from unseen punches. Get Ms. Thompson if you want an excellent divorce attorney.

Shana has been my attorney for just over five years. She handled my parenting plan, which included a protection order, renewals of the order, and dealing firmly yet gracefully with a very difficult ex. Her work is solid, she listens to your wants and needs while keeping you within the realm of what is actually possible, and I couldn't recommend her more.
