About

Shon Cook started practicing law many moons ago, nearly 20 years now. She began her practice in the worldly city of Grand Rapids in 1994 and then moved back to the Lakeshore by 1995. Over the years, Shon has handled cases in business litigation, criminal defense, and other civil cases. However, for the last ten years, Shon has focused her practice on family law and all the issues that put families into crisis and in the courtroom.Shon is a different kind of attorney. Shon talks with her clients, not at them. She listens to the issues, and she looks for solutions, not just ways to add to the bill. Shon is practical, down to earth and very straight forward. She has a good sense of humor and genuinely cares about the outcome of a person’s case and the final impact on someone’s life that the issues have. Yep, that is different and that is Shon. Shon chose the above logo, because she thinks that the law is very powerful. Shon has always been known for her strong presence in the courtroom and her ability to make a difference for her clients. Shon knows that many attorneys use the law to manipulate and trick other people, even the Judges at times. Shon believes strongly that the law can be used to achieve good results for good people. That is why she calls herself “The Good Witch of the Law.”

Around a year ago my ex tried to move to Texas with my daughter. She had sole physical and legal. I was referred to shon and after the consult my wife and I retained her. It took a year but we won. Shon was amazing to put it simply. Navigating the legal system like she did was truly a thing to behold. She was even able to the job while holding our hands and answering all of my dumb questions. The detail that stands out to me the most though is her genuine interest in helping not only is but my child. Shon treated our problem like it was her family on the line. And for that reason my family owes her a debt that can never be repaid.

I was very nervous entering my first law firm until I met Shon. She quickly made me feel at ease by using personal experiences, humor and compassion. I felt comfortable right away and knew she would do whatever she could to help me.

Shon is an excellent attorney! She is smart, experienced, honest, dedicated and fair. She has represented me in several very important matters, and I have come away with a result that has been more than satisfactory on every occasion. She gives me sound advice and doesn't just tell me what I want to hear. I know that I can trust her to work for my best interest. Through the process, she also became a friend and someone I know I could count on if I got into a difficult position down the road. I would highly recommend Shon if you are looking for a family law attorney that will help make a painful process easier if there is any way she can. Thanks, Shon, for all you have done to represent me over the past couple of years!

I hired Shon and her team to represent me in a divorce that had many twists and turns. The divorce took 10 months due to craziness my ex wife kept throwing at Shon and her team. Never once did I hear Shon say lets get this over or settle. She coached me and believed in me and my family. I recall Shon sitting in the court room looking like she was disconnected. She wasn't !! She was absorbing all the information and when she stood it was awesome to watch. I was nervous as heck but she was the calm that my family needed. Heck, even my Dad liked her. I'll suggest anyone to use Shon and her Team.

Shon was an excellent attorney in representing me through my divorce, she suggested mediation which saved money, time and heartache. Shon responded timely to my emails and texts, and resolved the crisis at hand effectively. Shon and her staff gave me emotional support as well. Shon was recommended to me by another professional in the court system, she said, "Shon fights for her client and does not back down." I agree!

Shon spent the extra time to negotiate a tough situation. She is an excellent attorney. I often recommend her to family and friends.

Shon is a very good lawyer. One thing that impressed me the most was her response time to my questions. She always answered in a timely matter. In my situation... divorce and custody every thing was urgent to me. Shon advocated for me in a professional manner. She was quite and not a shark but got her points across. I considered her approach as "you can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar". I do also believe if she needs to be a shark she will do so and do well at it.

Shon was my lawyer while going threw divorce. She's very nice, but very expensive! I have paid her about 5000 dollars and we never really accomplished anything. That was just at the beginning of my divorce. Thankfully my husband and I could work things out. Who knows what I would have had to pay her in the end of everything:/

She proceeded with my case without ever gathering all of the evidence. This led to a complete loss that destroyed my family. The law was even on my side. She was either negligent or incapable either way my family will never forgive her.

I didn't feel like she was working for me.I wasn't very knowledgeable on legal matters but I felt she should get more information on the other party. She discouraged me from hiring a PI and I later I learned she could have put in a motion for discovery which she didn't. I repeatedly asked her to get more information and she refused. I believe if we had gone in with even the small amount of information I have collected since we would have won and we could have gotten so much more through discovery. She continually told me we weren't fighting the other party but in the end the ruling directly compared us without her even trying to get the info or put it put there. Heartbroken client here
