If you're considering hiring this firm for your case; don't. I hired them for a simple intestate estate case. $2,500, 1 letter threatening criminal action and 3 attorneys later and nothing. I ended up hiring another attorney to settle the estate, but I wouldn't choose Abom & Kutulakis if they were the last legal representation in the United States. I'll take my chances pro-se. It can't be any worse than hiring legal counsel that wines and dines weekly with the prosecution and judges.

Super knowledgeable great office and everyone kind, efficient and just make you feel secure knowing they have your back

Best attorney in Carlisle trustable and honest 🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸

I had the pleasure of working with Atty Shannon Costa on a very important case involving CYA that could have had a very big impact on my career. Atty Costa was very professional and made sure to get all the paperwork in on time even emailing me at the start of her vacation to make sure everything was complete. Her fees were very reasonable and she made sure to get the job done and see it through until the end as CYA ended up dropping everything. Thanks Shannon for everything!

TR was a great attorney. My husband & I utilized him. The case went better than we had anticipated as best case scenario. TR worked diligently & communicated effectively. We will forever recommend him to anyone & utilize him if we ever need an attorney for anything. Thanks for everything, TR!

Shannon is an amazing attorney. I highly recommend her if you are getting a divorce. She was able to negotiate and get me everything I wanted. You will not be disappointed with her work!

I had worked with Shannon to navigate the obtuse requirements of having my name legally changed. Shannon met and exceeded my expectations and made the entire process easy and simple. Her communication was clear and frequent and at no time did I feel that I had been forgotten or unimportant.

Wouldn't even give them a star to be honest they are horrible & will charge thousands of dollars take ur money & not even fight for u. They will put THEIR CLIENTS CASE out there for everyone to see. Very unprofessional & not good lawyers at all. They just money hungry chargin up the azz just for u to cop out n take the plea deal they wont even try to fight for u. If u dnt wanna go to prison for yrs or waste money i wld suggest not hiring them . They will just lie to u tell u wat u wanna hear then flip on u. Do urself a favor n just dnt . Ull b savin urself n ur freedom 100% .

Shannon is the real deal, a complete package. As someone who works in Harrisburg at the state legislature and being familiar with the broad range and practice areas of attorneys, Shannon is one of the most promising legal minds I've had the pleasure of working with. I retained Shannon's counsel to help me with a trying custody battle and she did not disappoint; never relenting until the goals in my case were won and actualized. What really sets Shannon apart is that in addition to an encyclopedic knowledge of the law, firm professionalism, and sharp strategics, is her unwavering commitment to serve her clients with an unparalleled emotional intelligence. I never once questioned her ability to serve my desired interests and the necessary communication skills to thoroughly understand and be sensitive to those interests. A top-of-her-class scholar, Shannon is the best of the best.

Please read and listen to the negative reviews. I hired Stephanie for an unbelievably important criminal and custody case. My co-defendant who had a PUBLIC DEFENDER and an identical case to me got the charges all but dropped while I am stuck with a felony and incarceration and over a year probation. Stephanie continiously dropped the ball, was regularly unprepared. NEVER called/emailed/anything to update me on the case. A YEAR AND CHANGE LATER she is STILL not familiar with any of the details of my case. HOW can you properly defend a client when you dont even know the details of the case? Also, I was sent a newly graduated lawyer to fill-in for her several times and Stephanie never briefed the fill-in attorney on my case. How am I supposed to defend myself when I have a lawyer who doesnt even know the details of the case? I was continually given wrong information in regards to my case and to top it off, she messed up and made a mistake during my plea agreement at court. She stated that I SHOULD HAVE SPOKEN UP at the hearing in front of the judge?!? I'm sorry but excuse me? I dont think that would have gone over well me interupting her and the DA to inform them that they had made a mistake. Also, I was incredibly nervous as I was being sentenced as well as I was hoping that my attorney that I had paid tens of thousands of dollars to defend me would have at least gotten the information correct. I am waiting to hear back from one of their other attorneys to see if they can file an appeal on behalf of the inadequacy of defense before I file a complaint with the bar association on her behalf. I am looking to obtain legal assistance elsewhere if they are unwilling to attempt to do what little can be done to correct this. They have no problem taking your money but do little if anything to actually defend your case. They do less than a public defender. I wish I had listened to the reviews when I had originally read them months ago.

I helped my brother handle his family law case, including hiring an attorney. Shannon Costa came highly recommended. Working with Shannon was a joy. She was accommodating of our situation and skillfully handled my brother's case even though we retained her on relatively short notice. She answered all our questions and responded quickly to my emails and phone calls. She was confident and well-prepared for my brother's court date. My brother and I are extremely satisfied with her representation and will be retaining her again should the need arise.
