I could not have been more satisfied with the professionalism and legal knowledge shared with me and acted on regarding my case by Jillyn and her team. If you have any Family Law issue in Chattanooga, she should be your first call.

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!

Above and beyond

Jillyn gave me honest advice from the beginning. She was straightforward with expectations and helped me focus on each step of the process. Jillyn was responsive to my requests and helped me keep a cool head in what is very frustrating and emotional process. In my case we went through two mediati...ons, discovery and deposition. Fortunately, Jillyn was finally able to work with opposing counsel on a final agreement before it became necessary to bring everything into court. We were able to negotiate a very good settlement and I have no doubt this was largely due to Jillyn's experience in family and divorce law. I would recommend her without reservation to anyone in need of a family or divorce attorney.

Child Custody - Relocation

I retained Jillyn to takeover my reduction in custody and relocation case. I was unsatisfied with the progress my original attorney was making on my case after 10 - 12 months. When Jillyn took over my case, she immediately took the reigns and got my case going. Jillyn is very smart, thorough ...and can hold her own in court. She did an outstanding job and won my case. She never stopped in her pursuit in justifying our position in court through thoughtful and logical research of the law and how to apply it to my case. My ex-husband's attorney is a long-standing, tough attorney and Jillyn navigated every twist and turn of my case beautifully. Time is of the essence when you are dealing with the custody of children. As a mother herself, Jillyn understood this and did everything in her power to ensure that my case was heard timely. If you are looking for an attorney to provide sound, logical and lawful advice, turn to Jillyn. You will not be disappointed. Without hesitation, I recommend Jillyn to anyone seeking an attorney for Family Law.

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."
