She navigated the complexities of state and federal procedural rules with ease, crafting a defense that was both aggressive and pragmatic. Shannon’s background in psychology gave her a unique edge in anticipating the opposing counsel's moves during arbitration. The result was a highly favorable settlement that protected our business interests entirely. Her professionalism at Kelly Law Partners is matched only by her direct, personal commitment to her clients. We couldn't have asked for better representation.
