Awful

Time was of the essence, and I needed an attorney with a proven record of being attentive. Jillyn was not with divorce proceedings. She would take several days to answer any questions I had via all avenues of communication. Now, when Jillyn needed my input or signatures for documents she was pushy. I... would never recommend her services.

Definitely recommend!! Professional, honest and effective!

Jillyn always answered any concerns or follow ups I had very promptly. I never had to wait to hear from her. Her professional advice saved me from having to go to court, and most importantly my kids having to go to court. Granted every case is different, in my case I obtained full custody of my kids ...in a very quick and efficient way. I would absolutely recommend anyone to go with her!

Highly Recommend Attorney for Child Custody Cases

Jillyn was professional and responded quickly with answers to any questions I had for her. She was able to get my case resolved reaching a very positive outcome. Anyone would be wise to hire Jillyn as their attorney!

Excellent Lawyer

I really thought that Jillyn had my best interest at heart. She did not give me false hope but was real and used the law to back her suggestions. It was easy to meet with her. She was professional and kind. The best part was that Jillyn would return my calls within the same day and answer my emai...ls usually within the hour. This is something that you defiantly need and is totally necessary during any legal process. You feel so overwhelmed and getting a response quickly helps you to feel in control, understand better, and most important helps to bring down your anxiety. There is so much that you do not know and you will have so many questions that need to be answered. Jillyn took the time to answer all my questions and helped me throughout the process. Jillyn, is an excellent lawyer that knows her stuff and I was blessed to have her on my side. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a lawyer.

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!

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."
