I highly recommend Shawn Hammond

I hired Mr. Hammond for a child custody case. He was very professional, organized and polite. He was very respectful and caring for my position as the grandmother/guardian of the children He asked a lot of questions in order to know all the facts of the case which I appreciated. I was amazed at how... much research he did on the opposing party. When we had the hearing, he hit every point to prove my case of my retaining the children. I would highly recommend him and would definitely use him as my attorney if I needed one.

Dr. Higdon

I’ve worked with 3 attorneys in handling my very unique and challenging family case and must say that Mr. Hammond has been consistently professional, honest, hard working, and dedicated to our cause. Family law inherently presents sensitive and stressful dynamics. Mr. Hammond has handled these areas ...of my case with care and prompt attention. I appreciate his legal candor, acuity, and, most importantly, his unwavering fight!

PLEASE DO NOT HIRE SHAWN HAMMOND!!!

I hired Shawn to go after my ex's $20,000 child support arrears. He SEEMED to be ready for court. We arrived at court where I found out he had filed the WRONG paperwork and I was PRESSURED into signing a final order where he took my ex's attorney's word for EVERYTHING! Including a financial form wher...e my ex lied about his income AND I could have PROVED it IF given a chance! Long story short, I lost thousands of dollars on my highly anticipated court appearance from HELL!!! Because of Shawn Hammond, my son gets $300 less PER MONTH than should! VERY LAZY!!

Shame on Avvo for allowing a false review like this to be posted. This is not an actual review from a real client and in no way reflects our practice or our commitment to our clients. Unfortunately, it does highlight the intensity of family law cases and how other lawyers and other parties can allow themselves and their anger to get out of control. How sad and unfortunate.

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent

When you are going through a divorce it is amazingly painful and you have no idea what to expect. I am truly happy that I choose Shawn P. Hammond and associates to help with me through this tough time. Mr. Hammond and his office manager made it a point to make sure that I understood the process an...d what to expect in each aspect. I was probably more needy than most people, but they were always available to answer my questions and hold my hand so to speak. Everything turned out like they prepared me for and I am moving on with my life. I highly recommend Mr. Hammond and his staff to help you with domestic matters. It made things a bit easier knowing what to expect instead of being blindsided.

This is the lawyer you want next to you in the courtroom

Mr. Hammond came highly recommended to me by several people when I found out my wife was having multiple affairs and was endangering our children with her erratic behavior. Most people say that Dads don't get custody but that was not what happened when we went to court. Thanks to Mr. Hammond, we we...re able to show the Judge how my wife's actions were a danger to our children and I was granted primary custody of the children. During the most difficult time of my life, Mr. Hammond and his office were there to assist me and help me look out for the best interest of my children which was the first time I have ever seen a lawyer care about the children versus winning or losing. If you want someone who knows what they are doing and will fight for your children, you can't go wrong with Mr. Hammond. I will always be grateful to him and his staff!
