No Response After Meeting

I met with her to make a will, and six months later, after multiple attempts, I still haven't heard back from her. Biggest waste of time.

Knowledgeable and respectful

Shannon has been my attorney for many years. Originally, she helped me with a divorce that was very contested. Shannon is always responsive and honest about the options and paths forward. With her years of experience, she understands the courts and knows what will work and what won't. I respect ...this.. she does not want to waste time or clients money. In the years since, Shannon has helped with child support modifications, and also wrote up my will. I can easily recommend Shannon.

Child Support Modification

Started the process to modify my child support back in September 2020 almost 2 months later he was supposedly served. First month she had a lot of spelling errors so several emails went back and forth before I even signed! I did all the initial emails or calls just to see how things were going. I ...paid a months mortgage for what right now was for crap. What a waste of a single moms money. I would never recommend. April, late April I might add, she finally sent in the paperwork just so I could receive a call from Child Support department stating she didn't complete a section so he had to be served again causing even more delay. I'll be surprised if i don't lose what child support I'm currently getting. What a waste of my hard earned money. But guess if you're a lawyer money is nothing to her. I would never Ever recommend. Worse part she was recommended to me by a friend that used her to also modify her child support. Don't ever hire.

Extremely Sharp & Thorough!

Shannon is an incredible attorney. She has been one of the most direct and honest attorneys I have worked with. She is extremely intelligent and has years of experience under her belt in the Spokane court system. My case was a difficult one which required a detail oriented attorney. She was recommend...ed to me through a friend and I was not disappointed in the slightest. I am truly thankful for all she has done. Shannon is excellent when it comes to complicated divorce cases involving child custody. She strives to do the right thing. I highly recommend her.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
