So grateful to have Shannon represent me. She VERY knowledgeable in family law and she thoroughly communicates with her clients. Her hard work and dedication regarding her representation of her clients is unmatched. She literally went above an beyond to make sure my custody hearing was fair and child support needs would be met.

I would like to share what an absolutely amazing attorney Shannon Kowitz is. She is the perfect combination of what I believe every great family law attorney should aspire to: someone who cares about you as a person and yet is also willing to tell you the tough things you may not want to hear but need to, particularly if you are hoping to avoid a costly trial. Fair, firm, smart, with a big heart. That is Shannon.

Shannon Kowitz has been such a wonderful attorney to work with. She was very professional, patient, and helpful with my case. Shannon was always honest with me, and very quick to respond any time I needed her help. It has been a blessing to work with her. I highly recommend Shannon if you’re looking for an attorney!

Ms.Kowitz represented me with my divorce and custody case. Throughout the entire case she constantly kept in contact, made me aware of any changes and always had my best interest at heart. She worked quickly to get all of my points across through to my exhusband. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great lawyer who will do their best.

I have had the pleasure of working with Shannon over the past few years on several occasions. Shannon has always been thorough, focused, and is an exemplary attorney. I have always appreciated the time she has taken with me to explain every situation and option. She comes with the highest recommendation I could possible offer!

I have worked with Shannon for a few years now with regards to 3 separate issues and she has been highly effective with her execution and clear with her advise. 1. I have 50/50 legal/physical custody with my 3 kids. The first issue was me trying to get either full physical custody or for my x-wife to actually spend time with the kids when they were in her custody; and for her to stop abusive behavior. Naturally my x-wife made many false counter claims with no evidence and asked for child support (despite being a high income person). Shannon did an excellent job asking the right question to my x-wife during the pre-trial disposition (which resulted in answers that would make it difficult for her in court); also Shannon did a great job explaining to me the law and what we can do to get the results I wanted. We built a solid case for court, however she was honest with me and the reality is it takes many incidents (and not just a handful) for my x-wife to lose physical custody. The end result was that we got my x-wife to sign some papers that said you can't do X, Y, or Z and I got the result I was looking for; a better mom. 2. Situation number two was a crazy x-girlfriend that said she was sad that we broke up and because I returned her stuff to a friend during a 5 second visit of just dropping it off she claimed I caused her to go into emotional distress, even though I haven't seen her in 6 months and just texted her to pickup her stuff (that she asked from me) from her friend. The first time this went to court I thought it was such an easy case I actually tried to go against her lawyer. I almost won, but my x-girlfriend was talking about how sad she was, her life is meaningless, she shakes all the time in sadness, going to therapy, crying in court, etc then the judge said she would grant a protective order, despite there being no legal basis. So I called Shannon and appealed. This went to court and Shannon blew it out of the water and the judge within the 1st minute of court said this should be dismissed and for the remaining hour or so just dismissed my x-girlfriend. Shannon did a great job being clear, compassionate, and focused on the law. The lesson learned here is to use a lawyer in court even if the case seems simple to win; it's difficult to cross examine someone as the defendant. 3. The last and most recent situation was drafting up a pre-nup for me and my fiance. It was written amazingly well front the first draft and without argument my fiance agreed.

Shannon is an outstanding Lawyer. She represented me in my divorce and custody case. Shannon was always a phone call away no matter what time I needed her. When things got rough during the times I was denied seeing my children, she was always there to give me sound legal advice. I’ve always been fearful of being in court hearing horror stories about men not having a chance when it comes to being awarded custody. With Shannon’s help we where able to totally turn my whole custody situation around. I was awarded full physical custody and I have joint legal custody with all tie breaking authority going to me. Shannon I will never forget what you and your firm has done for me and my family. We will forever be grateful. If you need a reliable caring Lawyer, Shannon and the Mulinazzi Law firm is the way to go.

I had the opportunity to work with Shannon on my divorce last year and I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. She was very professional, knowledgeable and so very empathetic. As is expected it was one of the lowest points of my life but working with Shannon gave me the hope and confidence I needed, knowing that I was being very well represented. In the end it all worked out great and I even got a refund for the unused portion of my retainer. I'll definitely recommend Shannon Kowitz and the Mulinazzi Law office to anyone who needs their legal services.
