As a family and elder law attorney, I’ve worked with many professionals, but Shannon stands out as an exceptional elder care consultant. Her clinical insight and deep compassion bring clarity to the complex situations our clients face. She helps families thin through options, prepares them for long-term care decisions, and empowers clients to express their end of life wishes with confidence. Her involvement not only supports families, it enhances the legal planning process.
Working with Shannon, was a game-changer for me and for our family. I felt helpless about my father’s needs as he aged and had ongoing health issues. Her depth of knowledge, calm presence, and clear guidance not only helped us navigate complex medical issues but truly empowered my father to make choices about his own care and lifestyle. She made sure he felt heard, respected, and in control. One person can make a big difference.
