J B HolemanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter chose Shannon LaFrance after her first, pricy attorney did a miserable job at the first divorce mediation attempt. What a GREAT change! Shannon did a masterful job in negotiating a reasonably priced settlement with her former military spouse. I have worked with many attorneys over the years, and I cannot image a better family law attorney than Shannon LaFrance. Heather HayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Shannon LaFrance. She helped me through a very acrimonious divorce from start to finish. Her detail - oriented and thoughtful approach was absolutely needed as we navigated through complicated military regulations. Shannon is a kind and incredibly bright attorney- having her in my corner gave me the confidence I never knew I possessed! There is not a finer attorney in the Tampa area - I would absolutely recommend her a thousand percent for any type of legal assistance. Dan ETrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Words cannot explain how grateful I am to Shannon LaFrance and LaFrance Law for helping me to successfully navigate the challenging Florida legal system as an unwed father pursuing legal paternity ship and 100% timesharing of my newborn son. Shannon is extremely intelligent and knowledgeable of the legal system and offered invaluable insight which made me feel secure and confident throughout the entire litigation. I highly recommend LaFrance Law to anyone seeking family law counsel. Allen GuiceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Divorce is Scary and unpredictable. Along with the emotional distress is the financial cost of litigation and allocation of assets! Lafrance Law guided me through this process with care and understanding. Chris Lafrance fought for my best interest which resulted in a positive outcome. I Highly Recommend Chris Lafrance & Lafrance Law. RALPH FELDKAMPTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have referred Chris and his law firm to several of my friends and they reported back that the service they received was phenomenal and the outcome was great! Brian WadeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've interacted with Chris LaFrance on a weekly basis in a professional setting for more than 4 years now. He is low-key, down to earth, and professional. He is NOT the kind of attorney who will engage in activity that is designed to increase client fees.Google rating score: 4.8 of 5, based on 19 reviews
