Amazing Lawyer and Person!

Jillyn came highly recommend and they were not wrong with their recommendation. Jillyn not only assisted me with my divorce but she also by far helped me the most with securing time with my children. As a father who values time with his children, Jillyn saw to it that I got all the time I wanted. ... She made this process go by smoothly and without issue. No words can express how grateful I am to her and her dedication to my case. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! I recommend Jillyn without reservation! If your reading this just know you have found a person who will fight for you and give it to you straight.

Highly recommended! So glad she represented me! Smart, understanding, articulate, knows the law well!

Jillyn O’Shaughnessy is an outstanding attorney! I highly recommended her without reservation. I am very happy with her representation and if I had to do it again, I’d hire her in a minute. Her attention to detail and professionalism was second to none! She is kind and compassionate, made me feel m...y case was important and was always available to listen and advise. I am not from the Chattanooga area and hired Jillyn only after an exhaustive internet search and interviews with several Hamilton county attorneys. When you’re not from the area and don’t know who to go to, hiring an attorney is somewhat of a leap of faith. After the initial consultation, she was the lawyer I felt best about and never was I disappointed. Jillyn represented me diligently through a long, difficult, and hotly contested international divorce with a lot of issues. My ex was trying to cheat me out of a lifetime of assets after a long term marriage. The case went to trial and she was very well prepared, arguing my case to make sure that didn’t happen and that the outcome was fair and correct. Jillyn knows the law very well and it showed. She was well prepared, really fought hard for my rights and was always available, ready to listen and advise. Jillyn is very personable, eloquent and articulate. You could probably spend a lot more money for another family law attorney but I seriously doubt the professional performance would be better than Jillyn O’Shaughnessey. I’m thankful that she has represented me. I believe I hired the best lawyer possible for my complex case. I doubt the outcome of my case would’ve been as favorable otherwise. Highly recommended!

An excellent lawyer backed by an outstanding firm

Jillyn was an exceptionally talented and professional lawyer to work with throughout my divorce case. She was quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had and did a great job of keeping objective and unbiased in a very subjective and personal process. I was also impressed with Grant Konvalinka... & Harrison‘s team in supporting my case through extensive research on adoption law—an area that made my case all the more complex. In the end, I left the courtroom feeling I had been taken care of and fully respresented by Jillyn. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome!

Professional and dependable

When I began the difficult process of divorce it seemed very overwhelming and scary. I searched through many different attorneys and found Jillyn to be the one I felt most comfortable with. She is very knowledgeable and very dependable. I would highly recommend her.

One of a kind

Before finding Jillyn, I had interviewed a number of lawyers in town who did not hold out much hope for me and my divorce. She never once acted like she thought my issues were going to be that much of a problem. She stood her ground with the other attorney and never let him rattle her. She can be ...rather firm, but sometimes it’s necessary for you to move forward and do what you need to do. I would highly recommend her, she is worth every penny.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Jillyn is my go-to lawyer when a friend or family member asks for help on a family law matter, whether it's a divorce, child custody, or child support issue. She is whip smart and also skilled at explaining complicated concepts in an easy to understand way. She's very compassionate with her clients. She will fight hard for her clients' interests, but is not so rude or aggressive that it backfires and ends up hurting her client. I highly recommend Jillyn to handle any family law matter."
