I've worked with Shannon on setting up our different businesses and will preparation. She is very responsive, sincere, helpful, extremely knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I could go on and on. A fantastic attorney to say the least.

My husband and I have enlisted the services of Shannon Simms to purchase two different farms, an acreage in forclosure and also sell a lake place. With Shannon's professional knowledge of real estate laws the transactions went smoothly. Shannon also dealt with The Secretary of Veterans Affairs for the forclosed acreage and communicated with us often during the proceedings. I would recommend Shannon Simms to anyone looking for a knowledgeable lawyer.

My husband and I hired Shannon as our attorney for our estate planning needs and then myself for the probate process of my husband's estate. Not only is she an expert in these areas, but she was also kind and compassionate during the most difficult time in my life. She is definitely the attorney to select!

Shannon has represented me in my real estate transactions, both agricultural and commercial, and my businesses with all of their legal needs, for several years now. She is very knowledgeable in both areas and I always feel that my personal and business interests are well taken care of in her expertise. I would definitely recommend her to anyone I know as she is efficient, thorough, and knowledgeable.

Shannon was understanding to my situation and fought to get the most for me and my kids. She did explain what would happen in Iowa being a no-fault state if we ended up in court, but encouraged my ex and I to try to agree on things if possible outside of attorneys. Possibly having the initial consultation free wouldn't be as pricey, but also lowered her usual escrow retainer so it worked out. Divorce is expensive and don't really want to go through another one!!
