Being new to the area, we turned to a local friend to recommend an attorney for some family matters. Her choice: The Valentine Law Firm! We’ve now worked with Shanna and Moni on several projects and are greatly pleased with the results. Their professionalism and expertise are enhanced by their responsiveness, empathy and initiative. They exemplify that friendly Texan helpfulness we’ve come to count on and appreciate. Many thanks again to Shanna and her lovely team!

I see Mrs. Valentine no longer practices family law, but she was my family law attorney at the time. I sincerely think Mrs. Valentine wanted to help me, but in the end, she failed and abandoned me when I needed her most. She was very understanding in the beginning as she agreed to support my goals. I explained that while I understood I couldn't stop my divorce, I didn't want it and wanted to do everything I could to maximize the possibility of reconciliation, so I wasn't going to do anything to encourage it. She seemed to respect and understand where I was coming from and was willing to work with me. She also understood that I had already hired an attorney who had exhausted all of my retainer from my temporary hearing and I was still paying off my balance with them, so I couldn't afford another retainer. She agreed to work with me on an hourly basis instead of requiring a prepaid retainer. During that time, she was helpful answering questions, explaining how to file documents and prepare for hearings. However, when it came time for my final hearing, she indicated I finally need to pay a retainer, to which I reluctantly agreed to because I didn't really have the money. I even asked her if she could take it out of the trust from the settlement in my final hearing so that I could still afford to pay my living expenses. She declined, however, I managed to come up with the retainer the last day of her deadline. I was literally on my way to her office when she told me she could no longer represent me because I didn't want a divorce. She then proceeded to suggest that because I hadn't paid a retainer, that she wasn't representing me, but we definitely had established an attorney-client relationship over the course of almost 9 months, I was just paying on an hourly basis. I explained again, that I knew I couldn't stop the divorce from happening, but as a matter of principle, I was committing to my marriage until the end. Considering it was right before the July 4th holiday, I felt that she just didn't want to do the prep work instead of going on vacation. As a result, I wasn't able to retain an attorney on that short of notice and had to proceed with my hearing as Pro Se. As you could imagine, I was completely outmatched in my hearing going against another attorney, but I felt I had no other options. I was very discouraged at how she abandoned me when I needed her the most.

From day one Shanna works for her clients. She fights hard with a kind heart. Anyone who ever has worked with Shanna, or for her knows this as truth.

We met Shanna earlier this year through one of her employees who our friend. We found her to be a very approachable, pleasant and ethical person who we would certainly do business with.

Shanna is very knowledgeable, personable, and conscientious. She will keep you up to date on your case. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Shanna is AMAZING! any questions i had she answered and explained everything to me. She put me at total ease when she was handling my case and she really gave me peace if mind. Shes always a text, email, or call away. I cant express how much i appreciate her for helping me get through my nightmare of a case. Thank you again for all of your help Shanna!

I came to Shanna for some help regarding a divorce! Shanna was very helpful and willing to answer any questions I had! I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for professional help with a personal experience! She gets things done quickly and goes above and beyond in her profession!

It was a privilege to work with Shanna. In a world where I have limited knowledge, it is nice to have somebody who is well informed and experienced to make things uncomplicated. She is professional and made me feel like a priority from start to finish. I recommend her to anybody I know that is seeking legal help.

My Wife and I had talked to several lawyers before we found Shanna. None of them wanted to take our case. Our case was a major uphill battle and Shanna was right there with us the whole way. She was attentive to our needs and concerns. She did everything she could to calm our nerves and keep us up to date on everything. It was a long battle but in the end SHE WON our case. I cannot say enough great things about Shanna and I recommend her to everyone. Thanks again Shanna. We could not be more pleased with all you did for us.

She has not represented me, but she would be the first attorney I would contact if I needed her. Her professionalism is fantastic and that is what is most important to me.

Shanna is one of the sharpest attorneys I've had the pleasure of working with, and I've worked with 50+ over my career. She takes the time to get to know you, your situation and how she can best serve your needs.

Shanna helped me with a divorce decree modification. Under time-sensitive circumstances, she was very professional and got the modification done very quickly and at a very reasonable cost. I have employed the services of lawyers before, and Shanna was extremely easy to work with. I would enthusiastically recommend her services to someone looking for legal help.
