Esq

I feel very fortunate to have been referred to Atty Leelyn. From my very first to very last appointment she always put me at ease with her cheerful and empathic manner. Her savvy and patience were exceedingly reassuring, My case took several months to resolve, during which she always remained posi...tive and kept me informed. Her expert and diligent work made it possible to avoid an action that would have cost me a large sum of money. I feel blessed to have worked with Shannan Leelyn and would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone I know.

Four and 0

To date I've had the pleasure of working with Shannan on four separate and non related issues once for proactive business advise, once to set up an LLC, once for illegal activity by a municipality, and once for contractor workmanship issues. Each time with positive results. I was fortunate enough t...o find Shannan (and Lou) through a mutual aquaintance who is knowledgeable of attorneys in the area. Shannan isn't going to sugar coat things for you; she isn't a therapist she's an attorney, but her candor is what's needed in order to make educated decisions. Do yourself a favor and before having any work done by anyone, have Shannan look over the contract before signing. It's cheap insurance and if your potential contractor doesn't like it than maybe you should look elsewhere. Tell her that JJ sent you.

Knowledgeable, courteous, prompt and effective!

Attorney Leelyn represented our family in seeking redress for a damaged product sold to us as undamaged. We were extremely pleased with the help she rendered. She was thoroughly versed in the relevant law, and she offered clear options regarding choices that we might pursue. Her contact with t...he seller's attorney was clear, concise and respectful. It beautifully represented our claim within the framework of Massachusetts law. Ms. Leelyn established and maintained an excellent and productive relationship with the other attorney throughout the negotiations. At each significant point of choice, she came to us and then followed our stated preferences. She explained likely ramifications of various courses of action and then honored our decisions. We really appreciated her problem-solving style. She was clear about details of the law, and she helped us understand how to keep things clean and simple. She was never belligerent with us or the opposing attorney. She kept the process flowing; it never languished. Her pricing was fair and fully within industry standards. We liked her specifying her use of time to the six-minute level and her having us establish an escrow account from which payments would be drawn. It all worked very smoothly, and we were pleased with the out-of-court outcome, which entailed an appropriate settlement amount and limitations. Were we again to need legal help in pursuing a damages claim, we would unquestionably turn to Attorney Leelyn. We recommend her enthusiastically and unconditionally.

True professional

Shannan taught me two lessons 1. You must listen, The world of law is a launguge the client is unable to understand and Shannan was able to explain, over my four year long case, everything to help me feel that we would be successful and that she believed in me. 2. That patience was so important as t...he system works, but very slowly. Leelyn Law has your back, I never felt Shannan was just there for the money, this office is set up to protect your rights, honesty, and fairness is her code, I highly recommend Leelynlaw and thank you so much.

Better Thank Your Typical Lawyer!

Shannan handled my situation with incredible efficiency and very much to my benefit. I wish I had called her sooner! She kept me totally informed throughout every aspect of my case and never blind-sided me with a big bill at the end. I can confidently recommend Leelyn Law LLC to anyone with a legal ...matter, no matter the size.
