Mr. Shannon's Practice

Mr. Shannon serves the interests of a broad group of business clients, their owners and families in such areas as corporate law, real estate, business acquisitions and dispositions, environmental law, creditor's rights and commercial transactions.

The strength of Mr. Shannon's relationship with his clients is measured by the fact that many of his professional relationships have evolved into strong personal friendships. And he is anything but bashful in his feelings about the strengths of the firm.

"We are one of the best kept secrets in the Milwaukee area," Shannon says. "By effectively managing staffing and overhead, we provide our clients with the highest quality legal services at a fraction of the cost of larger firms. We've got a great group of dedicated, hard working lawyers, and we give our clients what they expect and deserve: direct contact and representation by highly experienced and capable attorneys, decisive advice, solutions not questions, and aggressive representation when the circumstances require."
