Shannon practices family law, including domestic violence protection orders, restraining orders, divorce, custody and child support. She also has significant appellate experience, including published opinions. Shannon is a tireless advocate for her clients, working hard to settle family law issues amicably and cooperatively. When necessary, Shannon is equally tenacious, aggressive and effective in the courtroom.
Shannon’s career began with a clerkship for a Justice on the New Jersey Supreme Court. She then joined a premier law firm in New York City. Wanting to sharpen her litigation skills, Shannon began representing child protective services, spending several years on her feet in the courtroom three to five days per week. She was also called upon by the New Jersey Attorney General and two different New Jersey Governors to serve on special litigation teams trying education funding cases.
After a relocation outside of the New York / New Jersey metro area, Shannon served as a Guardian ad Litem and ultimately found her passion in handling all aspects of family law cases.
