I first consulted Shannon Hall after my husband decided to separate from me when I was 74 years old. She thoroughly explained what a separation agreement would entail, and under what circumstances it would be worth pursuing one. I was impressed that she did not push me to do so unless I felt it might be necessary. When he decided to divorce me a year later, she guided me through the whole process, with kindness and understanding. She knew how to obtain information about his financial activities, and how to protect my future livelihood. Without her experience and acumen, I could have been a victim of my own naivete. I am very grateful to her.

Shannon helped me with a paternity case. I was impressed with her thoroughness. And, that she guided me through the process and she was very communicative throughout. She is also very understanding and compassionate. Shannon really knows the law. You can not find a better attorney!

Shannon is hard working, dedicated, and passionate. She showed tremendous support through a very difficult and drawn out custody case. Great communication, very knowledgeable, excellent litigation skills. Very fair and reasonable billing practices.

Shannon has helped me numerous times through the process of a divorce involving children. She is patient, thoughtful, kind, and all about conflict resolution. I felt heard and valued while also remaining reasonable with outcomes/next steps.

Family Law encompasses a lot of difficult situations; from divorces and custody to, dealing with, "the other side", there are many opportunities to feel emotionally overwhelmed and lost. I know because I lived it. I was lost and scared and angry. The reason? My ex decided to not follow our parenting plan anymore, and kept my daughter from seeing me for extended periods of time. My wife (fiancee at the time) and I sought legal aide and we came upon Shannon. We read a few reviews, mostly the good ones, with one not-as-good, just to be as objective as we could be. We felt good about Shannon, so we took a chance to meet with her face to face at her office and go over our situation. Shannon was great. She was attentive to what we were saying, she listened and had good advice on how to proceed. We then laid out a framework for our goals and how to achieve them. We left feeling like we had found the right person. Like I wrote earlier, Family Law is emotional and I was emotional. I was angry and scared. Shannon was calm. We really appreciated that about her. She made the process positive, and I don't think it generally is. Shannon was always available, (I couldn't believe how easy it was to get a hold of her!) I felt she made me and our case a priority. She had to deal with some unsavory characters in our case as well, and Shannon is the type who knows how to handle herself professionally. We, and I in particular, really enjoyed working with her. In all sincerity, I count Shannon as a friend. I know that every situation is different and unique, that's why I'm confident Shannon has the experience to guide you through whatever may come your way. If you're looking for a sincere, professional, caring lawyer then look no further than Shannon Hall, she's amazing.

Shannon is kind and thorough. She helped me through a very difficult time and made the process much less stressful. She is ethical and fights for you!

Shannon is a very good attorney. My divorce was a very difficult one. In fact it was a mess. Shannon could easily work through difficult situation to come to a resolution. She stands up for your rights even when you don't feel you can stand up for yourself any longer. She also stands up too pushy attorneys and judges. She is just great. So if your in the market for someone to help you move on with your life she is the person. Thank you Shannon. I appreciate your efforts more than words can express.

My case was an uphill battle from the start. I lived in a different state, and with a very unique custody situation. Shannon was the 3rd attorney I hired for this, and she exceeded my expectations at every corner. I had been a target parent of Parental Alienation, and had been dealing with a parent who tried to refuse parenting time and contact as much as possible. Shannon never backed down, and did everything she could to make sure I could stay in contact with my child. Initially, my ex was awarded custody... I feel that Shannon represented me better than any other attorney could have, however the odds were stacked against me so I don't fault her for that. Less than a year after the judgment, Shannon was able to get a post-judgment modification of custody, which awarded me custody. This was largely in part to her diligence and ability to always be proactive with my case. Post modification, my ex has attempted several times to sneak into court (without informing me properly) in an effort to get emergency custody, only to be denied each time, thanks to Shannon's hard work and efficiency. Shannon is incredibly thorough, very detail-oriented, and can handle herself in the courtroom very well. She is very knowledgeable about family law. She does not beat around the bush or blow smoke up your you-know-what - she is straight-forward and honest with her clients (a trait that's hard to find in many attorneys). She is also very skilled at thinking outside the box, which is what was needed in my case. I highly recommend her!

I hired Shannon Hall as my lawyer to fight for sole custody of my daughter. I had done my research and a friend had recommended this lawyer to me and I am so glad she did. Shannon was absolutely wonderful... Not only did she do everything possible to help me with my case, she went above and beyond all of my greatest expectations. I could NOT have asked for a better lawyer; she answerered every question I had and if she didn't know the answer, she found it for me. Not only was Shannon prompt and got things done much faster than expected, but she took the time to make sure that I was happy in every aspect of my case. She made me feel like I was her first priority and she fought hard to make sure that I received everything I asked for from the courts and the judge... And I did! I couldn't believe how hard working and professional she was; I honestly don't think I would've won my case, had it not been that Shannon Hall was representing me and went the extra mile in everything I asked her to do. I felt appreciated and validated and I would strongly recommend her for anyone who is looking for a lawyer who is going to fight for you until you get everything you want and then some. Couldn't be happier with this lawyer. Hands down, best attorney/lawyer I've ever had the pleasure of meeting and hiring. Worth every penny!!

Sharon has handled a lot of legal work for me and was always on top of things. She did an amazing job so dealing with tense and emotional situations. I went through a rough divorce with restraining order and custody issues and she always handled me and my emotions well. I would go back to her with anything I need in a heartbeat.

at first she was very attentive and seemed on the ball and quick thinking. then she got focused on the little irrelevent details, and spent hours racking up on little things for example, like a value of a car, instead of focusing on the bigger picture. In the hearing, she refused to ask the questions to the otherside she needed to, saying it wasn't important, and refused to challenge the other side's witnesses lies, instead of discretting them, she kept dropping the ball. When i was on the stand, she forgot to ask questions we discussed. She forgot document copies on day of trial more than once, and asked me in court last minute for them. We lost the case, and before I even knew it she filed a lean on my settlement, not giving me a chance to pay. despite the fact, she was always paid, as requested, and had no reason to file against me without warning. It was bad for my credit, but she didn't care, and just said when I questioned why? Answer, to guarantee she got paid! how does an attorney turn on her client for no reason? she wasn't looking out for me, but for herself. I had written a good review in the begiinning when she took my case, but that was before the case was over. She may be good at custody when she doesn't have a seasoned apponent, but in a heated divorce, when the other side has a strong attorney, she panicked. Also dressing sexy for court didn't impress our judge, or help our case!

Shannon was very professional with her handling of our case. She was aggressive when needed and also very compassionate with the particular circumstances. With her having an office in Salem and Eugene she was more accessible also. She was very knowledgeable in the correct procedures of law (too bad some Judges are not). I would hire Shannon again if we needed a lawyer in Eugene or Salem.
