I hired Melissa by a referral from a trusted friend. She did an amazing job for me. It was a non contested divorce with some added complications after the divorce was final. She did a wonderful job of keeping me informed, and taking care of the situation. Amazing lawyer. Not only very professional but also personable.

My case requires a change of custody for one of my children, as well as a child support modification. Melissa has been wonderful! From the 1st time I contacted her, she was very prompt. She got me in for a consult & once we decided what needed to happen she started the process. She's excellent at answering my questions, returning phone calls, responding to emails. She's kept me informed on any changes & kept me informed on where everything has stood along the way. She even let me know her schedule if she was going to be out of the office. I highly reccomend her services & I have complete confidence in her.

Melissa is a very professional lawyer who gets the job done in a thorough and timely fashion. She maintained great contact with us throughout the process of completing our living will, power of attorney, and health care directive. We were extremely happy and pleased with her work. I would highly recommend Melissa and the Shannahan & Ware firm!
