text: About Simpson Legal Group, LLC
  
  The path that starts with walking down the aisle and getting a marriage license can sometimes end with a walk up the steps of a courthouse and the filing of divorce papers.
  
  The end of a marriage can be an unexpected and unwelcome detour that throws your hopes, dreams and best laid plans off course. It is a scary and unsettling time, and the choices you make and actions you take will impact the direction of your life — and those of your children — for a very long time.
  
  Fortunately, it is not a journey you need to take alone. You deserve an ally and advisor who will listen to you, who appreciates the emotional, practical and financial challenges you face, and who will be by your side every step of the way.
  
  Divorce can be a lengthy and complicated process, often leading to arguments between spouses over property division, assets and child custody. We make sure you understand your rights, mediate conflicts and represent you in court when necessary.
  
  When marriages or relationships dissolve, disputes may quickly arise if children are involved. We understand the delicate nature of child-related matters and help you reach custody, visitation and support agreements that protect the best interests of your children.
  
  Following the dissolution of a marriage, one spouse may be legally ordered to provide financial support to the other. Our goal is to help you establish fair and accurate alimony arrangements that are based on your unique financial situation.

  "I first met Shannon in 2007 which started out being a very dark time in my life. I found out that my marriage was in trouble and my brother was given 90 days to live due to cancer. As it turned out he died in 30 days. And I was still trying to come to terms with my marriage probably ending in a divorce. Not having a lot of experience with attorneys, I started asking around to see who other people had used and that’s when I was given Shannon’s name. My 1st consultation with Shannon was ironically on the day of my 36th wedding anniversary. But after meeting Shannon and her Legal Assistant, Bev, I knew that I had made the right decision. There were a lot of tears and tissues during that meeting and the many that followed. I have always said it takes the 3 F’s to make it through tough times-faith, family, and friends. And I would put Shannon into the friend category. But I also feel that she has the 3 C’s-competent, concerned, and compassionate. I can truly say that she went out of her way to help me through a tough time and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for an attorney. "
