About
I am married and have three sons and four daughters. I graduated from Western Kentucky University in 2006 with a major in Sociology and double minor in Psychology and Criminology. I obtained my law degree from Chase College of Law in 2011.In 2001, I joined the Kentucky National Guard. I spent the next seven years as a military police officer. During this period I deployed into Baghdad, Iraq where I performed route security missions. In 2008, I commissioned into the officer ranks. As an officer I have served as a Platoon Leader, Executive Officer, Company Commander, and Informtion Systems Officer. For the last six years I have worked as a Judge Advocate and have assignments as trial counsel, Deputy Brigade JA, Brigade JA, Cyber Law Chief, and State Deputy JA. I will be retiring from the military in 2021.From early in my life I have understood the importance of family and the need to keep those relationships strong. My parents raised four daughters and 37 foster children. I have continued my parents mission by placing a focus on children in my practice. I previously served as a Guardian Ad Litem and currently focus on mediation and collaborative options. My goal is to help families sort through their legal obstacles while maintaining their family unity and hopefully reducing any negative impact upon their children. In addition to family law, I have extensive experience in Estate Planning, Administration and Bankruptcy. I primarly practice and assist clients with estate planning needs. In 2021 I received a certification from the National Institute of Certified Estate Planners as a Certified Estate Planner. I am currently working on my Master Certified Estate Planning Designation. I have additionally enrolled in a masters level program with the American College to recieve the Accredited Estate Planner designation.Shur Law assists clients in all aspects of estate planning ranging from basic wills, powers of attorneys, and transfer documents to complex medicaid planning, charitable giving planning, and business planning.

Reviews
Tonya was fabulous. She made our experience incredibly easy, very straight forward and as professional as possible. I am grateful for her expertise.
Tonya is a well educated and talented lawyer. She has exceeded my expectations and is a wealth of knowledge. Her reputation as a divorce lawyer and for her dedication to her clients is well earned. I would highly recommend to hire her
I had an excellent experience with Tonya Van Benschoten at Shur Law. She's very knowledgeable and she did an amazing job of keeping me informed along the way. Even better, it was clear to me that she did everything she possibly could to keep her fees as low as possible for me, knowing that I'm a single mother. I loved that she had various office locations, making it easy to meet with her when necessary and at whichever location is convenient for me.Tonya is extremely easy to talk to, and I always felt very comfortable with her. I highly recommend Tonya Van Benschoten as an attorney!
My parents were long over-due for estate planning and Tonya VanBenschoten made the process of explaining how a living trust and a will is created and executed extremely painless. Though having a living will and trust is something we should all do as soon as we are adults and have assets, my parents, like so many people, put it off for fear that it would be a cumbersome process. In light of the pandemic we are experiencing, having a living trust in place gives my parents some comfort if something unexpected occurs. Tonya VanBenschoten is professional and her services made us realize that not only is the process fairly straight forward, but it lifted a huge psychological burden off my parents' shoulders--that of worrying about the future and the complication that can arise from probate, etc. Tonya has my highest recommendation for anyone in need of an estate planning attorney.
My situation was heart-wrenching for me and my family, Tonya was professional yet sympathetic to my situation. Tonya was available whenever I needed her, resolved all of my concerns in a timely manner.
I feel so blessed to have had Tonya represent me during one of the most impactful experiences of my life. She's knowledgeable, down to earth, compassionate, hard working, and dedicated. I wouldn't change a thing about how my case turned out thanks to her. Putting my case in her hands and feeling confident that she would do what is best for me felt like the weight of the world being lifted off of my shoulders. Very highly recommended!!!
Words cannot express how I feel about Tonya Shur. Getting a divorce after 19 years of marriage was a nightmare, but she made a very nice experience. She walked me thur it, and I knew I made the right decision. The staff was very pleasent. I am so happy with the choice of picking her as my lawyer.
Lawyer Tonya is one of the best lawyers.Her office helped me file my chapter 7 bankruptcy.They were so professional.She doesn't care about your race.She is just there to help anyone who brings his case before Her.I will really recommend her to anyone seeking to file bankruptcy.Her price for filling bankruptcy is also reasonable.Thank YOU Lawyer Tonya for ur help.
Tonya is very professional and understanding. She walked me through the process and gave me options on how to procede. I would definitely reccomend her to anyone!
Tonya, was an amazing lawyer. She kept me very informed and was quick to get back to me with any questions I had. She explained the case and what was going to hopefully happen in court in terms that I understood. I would hire Tonya again in a heartbeat and recomend to anyone else looking for someone to help with them with family law.
