Shana has helped me so much I can’t thank her enough. She has fought for two years until I got full custody of my daughter back and still hasn’t stopped fighting. She helped me through every resource. This lady is definitely not a quitter and she’s definitely the one to call when you feel stuck and see no way out, Shana cares and takes her job very seriously. She wants happiness for her clients. Shana was very persistent and put her time to make sure we were gonna get the best results. During these times I struggled and that did not stop her from fighting for my daughter! Till this day she still hasn’t given up, my case is very difficult it involves another state and she knew exactly how to handle it she stays one step ahead! She works extremely well under pressure. She has gone above and beyond my expectations she did more than her job. Shana is in this field because she really does want to help, shes not in it for the money. I can’t express enough how grateful I am to have her she brought me back my happiness.
Shana was a great choice as my lawyer. Made my difficult situation less stressful on my part. Shes extremely professional, knowledgeable, and experienced. - help me able to achieve the best possible outcome for my case. She makes you feel like family and going to do everything she can to help you. You are her number one priority. She was able to skillfully negotiate a settlement that was far more favorable than I ever imagined.
Shana was very helpful, knowledgeable, patient, kind and most of all caring! She gave me excellent advice and I would highly recommend her as an attorney!
Ms. Black is a highly experienced, compassionate & aggressive attorney. She actually cares. I would highly recommend.
Divorce is a very difficult process for anyone that is going through one. Communication and understanding the needs of your client is a very important step in the process. Shana, is very professional in ensuring that these needs are met with a full attention and detail. Thank you very much for support during this difficult time!
Im so thankful to Shana, She was very professional and honest from the start about what we could expect, and followed through with everything we discussed. She made my difficult situation a bearable one. The knowledge she shared helped me to receive the outcome I desired. Divorce is extremely tough and devastating, but I knew that Shana would take good care of me throughout the process, and I will be in great hands. Together with her team, I am very confident that they will get what I deserved.
We hired Shana Black as our attorney through a referral, and I cant express enough, how grateful we are. Shes truly genuine, very talented and actually committed/ focused on her individual clients (which, it seems youd be lucky to receive one of those qualities from an attorney, in my experience). I cant say enough good things about her. I never leave reviews. But, I know how hard it is to find an attorney you can count on and I would recommend her to anyone, especially my friends and family. Thank you Shana for going above and beyond!!
When I knew divorce was imminent, I had a recommendation from a parent at my childs school to sit down with Shana. I hired Shana based upon the initial meeting and the very first hearing, Shana all but demanded I take my wife at the time up on her offer to reconciliate. I knew this was a trap, merely to get a restraining order I had filed dropped. As I predicted, my X immediately filed for divorce upon me dropping the restraining order. There seemed to be zero prior planning done for my multiple hearings. Shana often misspoke, and brushed off procedural errors by the court initially, that inevitably led to me firing her as my attorney. I would get the opposing party agreeing to sign a custody agreement, and Shana would not send the documents requiring signatures. There were always excuses as to her lack of initiative and timeliness. Shana always made sure to collect her money in a very timely manner, which would make sense if she produced results. My children were abducted by their mother and fled the state as a result of Shana not getting a judges signature on our custody agreement, that I negotiated with my X... not Shana. My X had an attorney that would write her declarations. I had to write my own declarations, and demand she begin writing them based on her fees. I represented myself in NC and secured full custody myself. I have been legally separated for a year and 4 months. I had my X agree to sign a divorce agreement, then spent months begging Shana to send the document. Then she attempted to say I was unclear in my requests. Honestly I liked Shana, and ignored everyones advice to drop her early on. Simply because of hearing her on the phone with her daughter after court one day, she had her pull over so they could pray together, her daughter was distraught about something. Being a Christian, I chose to stick with her. My major complaint is how much money Shana was given, and how few results 35K yielded. Im filing a complaint and seeking reimbursement.I had 4 lawyers in 4 different states during these hellish past two years. Shana was the highest paid, and yielded the fewest victories or results.
Shana is one of the best lawyers I know, and together with her team, They helped me with all the aspects of my divorce, mediation, and custody options every step of the process. They helped me through many tough situations that arose during my custody and divorce case. She and her experienced team will fight for their clients in all aspects to help you win your case for the best result possible.
Shana was extremely professional while delivering the excellent outcome. They handled my divorce case in a very professional way.I want to thank her for always keeping me updated on my divorce of any changes and or concerns it was a long wait, but I am forever grateful with the outcome. I highly recommend them to anyone who is heading towards divorce.
Ms. Black handled my case with total professionalism and negotiated a great settlement, all within a quick time frame. I was most impressed with her negotiation skills, attention to detail, knowledge of the law and passion to help. She also knows how to handle delicate situations with ease. I would heartily recommend them.
Shanna is an attorney who really cares about her clients and their case. She is authentic, professional and passionate. she is assisting me in my divorce process, She takes her time explaining me everything in detail. I would highly recommend her, she is amazing and have a big heart ❤️ thank you Shanna I will always be ver grateful.
I hired Shana for my child support case and she’s very knowledgeable about family law. She knows her stuff and gets things done promptly. She explains the processes and makes you feel taken care of. I am really glad I decided to go with her.
Starting in December 2015 I was thrust into a custody battle and move away. Someone never really thinks they would ever be put into that scenario as a parent. At the beginning I was overwhelmed with emotions with stress and fear of the unknown leading.In the midst of this all I went on a search for great family attorneys and all roads led to Shana. Shana was very understanding of the situation, extremely knowledge, and laid a course of action on the first day. She was extremely diligent from the first day to the last. Shana worked with me on my concerns and ambitions not only in the courtroom but outside it as well. Shana was outstanding in court with great ethics. Shana will win and do it with integrity. She has greatI really felt that Shana was as invested into this trial as I was which is an invaluable feeling when you are going through such a stressful time in you life. The piece of mind that you have a good attorney, friend, and teammate in your corner is exactly what everyone needs during such an event and is exactly what Shana provided.Shana helped me get the time I wanted with my daughter and for that I am forever thankful. I pray i am never in this situation again but if I am Shana will be the only attorney I call. Thanks Shana!
Very pleased with Shana. My custody case has been a long process but Shana told me to hang in there. I am finally making progress. Shana returns my calls and responds to my emails promptly. I would highly recommend Shana.
Thank you so much for all the help! You are a life saver!
I write this letter to thank you from the bottom of my heart to help my sister with her difficult divorce. I am so happy to know that there are still good people out there that truly care and support each other such as you did to my sister when she needed help the most. Thank you, Shana, and to your team!
Its great to deal with Shana. The divorce process itself was extremely strong and emotional, but having Shana gave me the confidence that I would get everything I deserved and needed to move on with my life. After 8 months of back and forth non-sense from my ex and his attorney, she was finally able to get them to settle in court, before even going to trial. Not only did I get everything I wanted in my divorce settlement, but saved me the extra money by not having to prepare and go to trial.I give her the highest recommendation as a professional attorney.
Shana represented me in my divorce case. - she was so amazing!With her knowledge and expertise, she gave me strength and confidence during the worst crisis of my life. It would be a difficult case but she didnt leave me hanging. She defended my side until the end, was able to find common ground with what we both wanted and was able to get me what I needed from the case. Thank you so much, Shana couldnt be happier with the outcome.
Shana is an amazing attorney. She worked diligently on my case. I had began to lose hope and went to Shana and she really turned things around for me. She’s great at what she does. I recommend her to everyone. No matter how big or small their case is.
Shana Black is my hero. She absolutely amazing. She has helped me so much with getting custody of my daughter and my divorce. She is very understanding and knows, very much, what she is doing. I know that it is very hard for a father to get custody of their child but if you need help doing that or need help with your divorce, she is definitely the person to talk to. She helped me get custody of my daughter and keep all my possessions from my divorce. She truly is a saint and I would definitely recommend and refer her to anyone that is going through a family court case. Shana Black truly is a saint.Keith S.
I found Shana here on Google and knew nothing about her. I had a couple of referrals who were not calling back. I called her on a Saturday and she answered and spent over an hour with me on the phone! I hired her for my divorce and she was amazing. Very knowledgeable, kind and with a lot of experience. I definitely recommend her to anyone. Shes fair with her pricing and hiring her gave me the most tremendous peace of mind through an uncomfortable situation!! Call her!!!
What we appreciate most about Shana Black as our attorney is her authentic intent to truly help. She is compassionate, honest and has unmistakeable integrity. She also always keep the best interests of our child top of mind. She keep us level headed through the very stressful process of child custody as a result of a severe family trauma due to domestic violence. Her ability to stick to the facts and pay attention to sand kicking in the courtroom allowed us to get our family to a safe place in order to protect our daughter. She was always reachable and made sure we were prepared going into court. Her expert understanding of the law and the ability to stay focused on what was going to affect the outcome the most is what ultimately awarded us with measures to protect our family and children. We were with another firm before Shana and were financially depleted. Shana was able to get us back on track.
I thought all hope was lost, then I called Shana, she reassured me that everything was going to be okay.Calling her was the best decision that I have ever made.This woman is a genius in and out of the courtroom.She knows the law.Her use of logic is flawless,lightning fast coupled with brilliant precision.My family owes a debt of gratitude to Shana, without her my family would have been lost. She is the best in her field, her 5 star reviews are the absoulute truth ;her services are worth every penny.
A little over a year ago, my request for child support from the absentee father of my child blew up into a full-on custody battle. I have never been in such a scary, stressful situation. There is nothing more frightening than thinking that your child could be taken from you and placed in an environment that is unsure.I found Shana J. Black after searching the internet and reading bios of about a million attorneys throughout the San Diego area. I even did some phone consults and met in person with another attorney before deciding that Shana was the one that I wanted fighting for my son and myself.It was, no doubt the best decision I could have made.Shana is much more than an Attorney. From the beginning, she has listened to me with such patience. I have sent her frantic correspondence and she has always replied with such wisdom and the certainty that you really need when your world is turning upside down.She draws from a bank of years of experience with which to advise, and she uses that same experience to anticipate and prepare for challenges down the line. Believe me, if something is coming, she’s already had it on her radar for a week or two.I have had a couple of court appearances with Shana as my attorney and probably have a few more still to come. There is no one else I would want in my corner.
Shana Black is an excellent attorney. She listens to your issues, makes a plan and does whatever it takes to win the case. She never leaves you until the end of your fight and gets what deserves for you. With her expertise, she successfully wins the case. Thank you, Atty. Shana.
Went above what you would expect from a lawyer. I didn’t feel I had to rush on speaking to her and she sounded passionate at what she was explaining and made me feel more comfortable and hopeful.
She is a great lawyer! With her help, I was able to get pass the most problematic time of my life. The case was resolved peacefully and without any problems. I like how she is passionate in her work and it shows how she takes pride in achieving the best results for her clients. I am sure to recommend her to people I know that is in the same situation I was.
Shana has been nothing short of amazing. She has helped me fight for my son for almost 3 years now. She’s never let me down. Even when I felt like my entire world was falling apart and I wasn’t sure where to start, she helped me get back on my feet and helped me keep my son. Even when I was on deployment, thousands of miles away, she helped my mom fight in court for me. She is beyond amazing. And such an incredible blessing to my family. Without her, I wouldn’t have my son. I am so thankful for her in so many ways. She’s not out for money, she truly wants to help you and genuinely cares for you. She’s got a heart of gold. And I’d highly recommend her to anyone that needs a family lawyer. I wouldn’t use anyone else. I trust her beyond a shadow of a doubt. She never lets us down. And she’s always there when you need her, even when you least expect it. At the end of the day, hiring her as my lawyer was honestly the best decision I’ve made for myself. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
Shana is amazing both in and out of court. She made sure that all of my questions and concerns were addressed promptly and was quick to bring us to a win with custody of my son. I initially contacted her because I was in a place in my life full of fear and the unknown and had no idea how to go about filing for custody, a restraining order, or anything. She explained everything clearly, precisely, and was by my side every step of the way. Even years after, I can still contact her with questions regarding my case, as well as other legal issues and she always helps me out, even though I no longer am retaining her. I would absolutely recommend Shana to anyone for any sort of family law case, and if I ever ever needed anything in the future, she is the first and only person I would call.
She was super nice. Pointed me in the right direction. Would totally call again if needed!!
Shana has been nothing short of a blessing since my daughter hired her as her lawyer a few years back. My daughter has been going through a lot of trials with her ex and hes caused a lot of problems over the years. Shana has always been there for my dauhter and shes been very generous. Shes got a good heart and she knows what shes doing in the court room. Shes never let my daughter down and she has truly helped tremendously throughout this whole process. I am so thankful for shana. She even helped me in court while my daughter was deployed and I had to stand in her place. Shes been more than a blessing and continues to amaze me in the best way. Shes great! Id HIGHLY recommend her to any person going through the same situation.
Shana saved my family. I was in the mist of a nasty interstate divorce and custody battle and did not know where to turn to. Then I found Shana. She contacted me immediately and turned the entire case around. My ex was trying to gain full custody of our daughter and Shana did not allow it. She fought tooth and nail to make sure that my daughter ended up where she wanted to be which is with her mother and her big brother.She communicated with me constantly even though we were in different time zones most of the time and gave me peace of mind when times got tough. My family and I could not be happier and I absolutely recommend her if you are in need of a family lawyer!
Recently I filed for divorce and have also fought for custody of my son. My ex was doing a number of terrible things to make my life difficult. I reached out to Shana while I was deployed. She began helping me out as much as possible until I returned from deployment. Since ive been back, Shana has been on it...she turned what looked to be a impossible case with an impossible ex to something completely different. All things my ex was trying to do to me were over turned and I got 50/50 custody of my son. I am still amazed at the things she was able to suggest and come up with in the courtroom. She is truly skilled at what she does. I cant speak for her or any other lawyer, but...I do think it helps if you are genuine and a good person...if you actually have a case to argue. I am very thankful for Shana and I will definitely recommend her services to others!!!
Shana has been representing me for over 5 years and she has been the best! Before Shana, I was being represented by a horrible lawyer that was lazy and was more interested in collecting money (for services that wasn’t even delivered), than doing what was in my best interest. My ex is bipolar and very high conflict. Shana always makes the whole process so much easier to go through each time my ex takes me back to court over the years. Never once did I ever feel like I was a burden or just another “case” of hers. She is compassionate, understanding, patient, and always answered any questions I had whether it was regarding the process, what to expect, the hearing, or orders (because sometimes the language can be confusing), or dealing with my difficult ex. I have recommended her to many friends and coworkers because of her great work ethic and professionalism, and I will continue to recommend her because of it. If you want someone to represent you that is genuine and knows what they’re doing and does it damn well, then Shana is the one!
Shana Black is a true God send. Shana turned my entire life around. She represented me through multiple court hearings, expartes, and trials. She continues to fight for me and guide me every step of the way. Her memory is impeccable, and her ability to command the court room is incredible. She is capable of handling any situation. Ive had lawyers in the past that let me get demolished in court, thats not the case with Shana. The best decision I ever made was hiring Shana. She delivered more than I could have hoped for. I can tell Shana cares about me and my family. Child custody cases can be very overwhelming and scary. Hire someone thats going to FIGHT for you and your children. The only regret I have is not hiring her sooner. 10 stars!
What can I say about Ms. Shana Black ? First I will give a little back ground on my situation, I moved to San Diego in 2008 with my 2 kids and a husband that was and is still active duty military. Shortly after moving to CA. several close family members died within months of each other, while dealing with that I was also going back and forth back to GA. to their funerals, my then husband was having an affair that I had no clue he was involved in, the kids and I ended up having no place to live in CA. because he told the military he wasnt living in military housing anymore with his family so they called me and said my kids and I had 2 weeks to get out. I received no help from my ex-husband nor from the military. I called his commander and I quote he told me you and your kids need to get back to your home state the best way you can, I was pretty much forced to get a divorce because my then husband had already moved in with this other person while we were still married. Knowing I didnt have money for a lawyer I went through Navy Legal to help me long story short we went through the divorce procedure without a lot of drama, neither one of us showed up in court with lawyers because everything was agreed on. To my surprise and disbelief within the year 1/2 of divorce he goes and hires a lawyer to have the original decree redone. He has caused a lot of drama and confusion not only in my life but for our kids also, this is where Ms. Black enters into my life. One day surfing the web for divorce lawyers it became so overwhelming because the ones I did talk to were quoting these crazy retainer fees, Ms. Black website appears and I am one of those people who actually read what people are saying, it seemed to me that all the reviews were very positive and that she really cared about the people she represented. I got her number and I called, I was so nervous because I knew I didnt have a lot of money and I already convinced myself that nobody was going to help me because I was only this stay at home military wife/stay at home mother. Well Ms. Black answers and we ended up talking which seemed like a long time, she wasnt rushing me off the phone at all, after that conversation Ms. Black and I didnt talk to each other for awhile because I thought all divorce matters were settled so I didnt have Ms. Black in court with me. Well after his new antics by hiring a lawyer I contacted Ms. Black and told her what was going on and I asked her if I needed her would she represent me and she said yes. The court date came I was having so much anxiety my ex-husband and his lawyer were like 2 bullies, I called Ms. Black the day of court and I told her I was scared to go into court by myself, I honestly thought the judge was going to look at me and say I was just a military wife who stayed home taking care of her kids and I thought she would grant everything in his favor because of his military status. Ms. Black said to me without hesitation I will be there dont worry, I swear when she walked up to me it was like an angel from heaven was placed in front of me, Ms. Black walked in the courtroom with so much confidence and stunned my ex and his lawyer, she was able to get me a continuance so she could put my case together. Court day came Ms. Black exposed my ex-husband in a lot of his lies right in front of the judge, she made me feel at ease by saying I was going to be okay just relax, well everything she has told me from the first conversation to the last court appearance has been all true and I am happy to say that things have worked in my favor. I would surely tell anybody if you want a lawyer who knows her stuff and isnt money hungry like some lawyers in San Diego this is the lawyer for you. Ms. Black has been a HUGE blessing to me and I thank God for her, my ex-husband is at it again after just being in court again last June with more confusion, Ms. Black once again is here for me and working on my case and I feel with her by my side things will be okay.
Shana Black were very professional and helpful through the entire application process. Shes always there to answer any questions we had, and in a timely manner. I am very grateful for her hard work and would recommend her services to others.
So happy I chose Ms. Black as my attorney. She walked me through a minefield of difficulty, and I always knew what was going on, and what to expect. I highly recommend her! Thanks for all your help!
Shana did great on the settlement with my husband. We talked about a lot of things before heading to court. It went to court because my husband wont give in to the settlements. After a few hearings, Shana successfully won the case.Thanks Shana, you helped me a lot so I will recommend you to my friends.

I then moved back to Bostonand she has been amazing helping me across country .She got me permission to do hearing with testimony via Skypeand she was OUTSTANDING in the courtroom against my exsAttorneys . She was understanding and guided me as a professional, with kindness every step of the way .Her fee was fair and reasonable and I could not have had success without her legal knowhow and her dedication to winning my case!!Thank you so much Shana ! Divorce is so difficult and you made me feelI had someone in my corner who came out fighting for me !!

Highly recommend! Hopefully, I’ll never go through another divorce but if I did, Shana would be my lawyer.
Ive been battling for my daughters well being for almost 3 years now, I had a attorney before Shana and well they didnt get the job done that I had hoped for, well a year ago I needed a new attorney and I found Shana through san diego lawyer website and I needed a lawyer the next day no one would do it except Shana, she took my case in a second and a year later I now have fully custody of my daughter everything, she has been a huge help to myself and my family for helping get my daughter to live here with me, she was even injured and still showed up to my court hearings during this process, shes a professional and a good women, she will forever be a friend to me for her kind heart and very helpful in this battle I had gone through in my life for my daughter and because of her help I know have my daughter full custody the hole 9 yards, I want to thank you for your time and if anyone needs a lawyer in the SD county come to her, shes the best, thank you once again Shana black for your time and help Im forever great full for your services :)

Hard to get a hold of some times but gets back to you as soon as she can. I can say I had a very difficult divorce and she made it a lot easier and had the cofidence to put my mind at easy and backed that confidence up. If you need a divorce Aturny you should get Shana Black . She will do right by you.
Thank you so much for all your help this morning. You were amazing and really eased my mind.
I am not sure who she paid to write the reviews she has on google, but they couldnt be farther from the truth. My simple divorce (we have come up with our own agreements ect.) has taken over 1 year and a half and still isnt done because I cant get her to call or email me back. She took my money two Aprils ago and then took 3 months to return my call again. Now that I am trying to get a new attorney she will not sign our Substitution papers, which will cost me I dont know how much more money and time. PLEASE DO NOT put yourself through dealing with her lies and un-professionalism. Divorce is hard enough.
Shana helped several friends of mine through difficult situations and challenging times. She is extremely dedicated and comitted to their clients well being and success. If you need a help, you will be well represented by Shana Black
Attorney Shana J. Black has a compassionate heart and diligently works to resolve issues encountered. Recommended!

Thank you for your help and expertise Shana!
Shana J Black has been my attorney for over a year and worked very hard in my case. Our case was difficult being that it was a move away, but I have to give it to Shana she fought hard and we won. If anyone is looking for an attorney that will work hard for their client be it they move out of state or not, Shana J Black is who I would recommend to anyone.
Obviously this lawyer cant be reached.
