Hiring Shannon for my toxic divorce and child custody case was truly the best decision I have made. Her knowledge, professionalism, responsiveness gave me hope to get through this extremely stressful time for me and my kids. I am retaining her as my attorney forever!

Working with Shannon during my divorce and child custody case was one of the best decisions I could have made during such a difficult time. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly steady when emotions and stress were high. Shannon took the time to truly listen to my concerns, explain my options clearly, and guide me through each step of the process so I never felt lost or overwhelmed. What stood out most was her balance of professionalism and compassion. She advocated strongly for me and my child while still helping me stay focused on long-term outcomes rather than short-term emotions. I always felt prepared and supported because she communicated clearly and set realistic expectations. Divorce and custody situations are never easy, but Shannon made the process far more manageable. I am truly grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone navigating family law matters.

Ms. Hoehl is one of the sharpest criminal minds in Virginia. We hired her to represent our minor child when charged with assault. Her vast experience with juvenile cases in our area was a very big plus. We appreciated how she helped our family during a very scary time. She is our "lawyer for life".

Shannon took on my protective order case mere weeks before our court date. She does the work! She asked pertinent questions to get the full picture of the case. It is not "just another job" or "just another client" for her. She goes above and beyond for her clients. She does her research. I felt as if she truly cared about the well-being of myself and my son. I'm forever grateful to have met her and look forward to working with her in the future!

While working with Shannon, she made an extremely high stress situation run as smoothly as possible. Her professionalism, knowledge of the law, open communication, and reliability are astounding. She was always readily available when we had questions and treated us as humans. She believed in our case and had the drive to fight for it as if it were her own.

Shannon was very professional, knowledgeable, organized and available. She made the time to maintain open communication when needed for our case that span over months. She maintained honesty and integrity throughout the time we worked with her. She is the sales person to sell the details of the case as applicable to the law for consideration to a Judge or Jury that you will want when the time comes. She is very well respected in the legal community. Shannon is also a kind person. I highly recommend Shannon for any case that she offers to accept as she will give it her all.

I retained Shannon based on a recommendation from another well known attorney that doesn't practice family law. Shannon and her paralegal have been so helpful through out my current legal battle. Shannon's professionalism is top notch. She is very direct and to the point when speaking to the judge and is very knowledgeable in her field. I'm very pleased with the representation that she has provided me. Early into my legal issue I was very stressed out but after attending 2 hearings with Shannon by my side I feel at ease now and am confident that by the end of my legal issues I will be awarded custody of my child. I would recommend Shannon to any of my friends and family that are facing any legal issues.
