Divorce is a painful experience. Separating a family can be a difficult legal process that can cause confusion and resentment. As a family law attorney with decades of experience, I know that having the right attorney on your side can make the process less stressful, and allow you to rest easier. My name is Margaret E. Shannon.
I have been practicing Family Law in the Sacramento Area since 1982. I specialize in Divorce, Child Custody, Support, and more. I have the foresight, expert knowledge, and wherewithal to see you through your legal matter, every step of the way. All cases are unique, and not all require litigation. Many cases can be settled through negotiation, without having to go through a messy, expensive court case.
