Shannon is handling my current divorce. Very patient and understanding, yet gives it to you straight and truthful. Very fair in regards to cost. Has charged 1/3 of my wife's attorney yet has filled me in more and made sure I understand what she is doing for me in trying to move forward. Has recommended actions to me that I have taken and some I have not, but understands why I decided not to without badgering me. I'm no easy client, and I have probably handcuffed her in defending me. But she consults me and gives it to me from both perspectives. I'm so glad I found her services and double glad she accepted me as a client. Her assistant Kaila is a saint as well. Thanks to both of them for helping me.

I hired Ms. Otto to assist me with my divorce in 2012. She was very easy to work with and did a great job in dealing with my ex husbands attorney. We were able to come to an amicable separation agreement in a very reasonable amount of time which was important to me so that things didn’t get dragged out. I also hired her and her partner Mr. Locke to assist me in another part of my divorce which had to do with my mothers will and again they were nothing but professional and swift in getting that situation wrapped up. I have referred quite a few folks to Ms. Otto including my daughter for a prenuptial agreement. If you’re looking for a great lawyer that will get things done in a timely fashion with your best interest at heart look no further.

I retained Ms. Shannon Otto and she helped me to file a couple of show cause motions for contempt of court, she also helped me to increase my visitation time, and to update our child support schedule. I am extremely impressed with Ms. Otto. She is very knowledgeable, professional and honest attorney. During the discovery phase she was very thorough and she made me work a lot to compile all the information that could serve as evidence. I really appreciate the way that she represented me in court, in front of the Judge, Ms. Otto was always very well prepared. She focused on the important issues, and she chose her battles wisely. At the end, I am very pleased with the outcome of my case. Her paralegal, Ms. Craig was very helpful, she always kept me informed on the development of my case and she always got back to me to answer my questions. I really hope that I do not have to return to court, but if this happens, I will not hesitate to retain Ms. Otto to represent me again. Miss Shannon Otto is an outstanding family law attorney and I highly recommend her.

Shannon Otto came highly recommended to me by a friend that she and a family member had been represented by in their divorce cases. I took the time to interview several lawyers before hiring Shannon. She impressed me with her expansive knowledge of the law, professionalism, an honest approach, and the confidence of knowing that she would go to bat for me and my children. Shannon is very detailed oriented and takes the time to learn about her client and their case. In the court room she was organized, prepared, and was amazing at bringing out details that was pertinent to the case and did not cease until she was able to get her point across, but definitely in a respectful way. She is a true professional that knows how to fight for her clients. Shannon went above and beyond what my expectations would be for an outcome. She was able to help me navigate through a very stressful journey and kept me focused on the big picture. I am so thankful that Shannon took my case on and represented me. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of a lawyer. She will do her very best to represent you and give you a fair outcome.

She is the Best Lawyer in Richmond, I had a tough custody case and she was always very organized and responsive to any questions I had. She goes above and beyond to make sure you have the best chance for a good outcome. I can't thank her enough!!!!

Shannon did a good job of providing advice prior to filing my initial petition for divorce in order to protect my finances. She was very responsive to questions and always well prepared for court. A friend, also an attorney, attended several court dates with me for moral support and always commented on how knowledgeable Shannon was and how well prepared her arguments were. I also found that she helped to frequently reduce my emotional responses and make me more pragmatic during the process as well.

Shannon worked hard on my case and had my best interests and future always at the forefront. She was honest and forthright, especially at the most difficult times. She is very smart and knowledgeable. I was very glad she was on my side!

I am very fortunate to come across Ms. Otto when I needed legal representation for my divorce. She was knowledgeable, approachable and kept me informed through the whole process. Because of this, I knew exactly what to expect as the outcome and therefore am very satisfied. Unfortunately, I am requiring more legal assistance in the near future regarding custody, but am thankful that I am already prepared with a lawyer that I trust and have full confidence in, Ms. Otto.

Shannon represented me on my Divorce (actually twice as we got back together during first proceeding and it took the second time around!). She did a fantastic job representing my needs and the needs of my 9 year old daughter. Shannon is very detail oriented and organized. She knows the people in the Court System in my County and it is evident that this helps her. I would highly recommend Shannon,,, you won't be disappointed

Shannon is able to maintain the utmost level of professionalism while handling tough, emotional situations involving her clients. As a previous client, I feel Shannon's integrity and knowledge of the law is outstanding. Shannon is an exceptional and thorough lawyer.
