I’m here to help you.

That’s it, one reason, to help you.

With years of professional experience spanning litigation, business-to-business legal relations, contracts, regulatory compliance, and policy development, I provide adept, straightforward, and transparent legal solutions for individuals and small businesses.

Legal issues are often burdensome, exasperated by bureaucracy and bills. Somehow goodwill has evaporated from so many aspects of our world. The lawyer driven by career alone, may only make your life worse. I partner with you in a predicable and effective way to break your legal challenges down to the achievable tasks they actually are, and get that business done, in a positive, sometimes even enjoyable way.

The goal at Carnation Legal, above all else, is to make your life clearer, easier to navigate and kept under your control.

“Shannon was a colleague of mine at Panasonic Avionics. I can say without hesitation that she is a consummate professional, great collaborator and a delightful colleague. She has a tremendous ability to instantly see relevant issues through the layers of minutiae. Her personality lends itself to being a lead negotiator – she’s a natural leader who tends to reconcile the differences between the parties in a manner that feels natural, non-threatening and serves the objectives of all participants. Shannon has a tremendous eye for detail without being petty. Her sense of professional ethics and drive to do the right thing is like nothing I have seen in any other person I had a chance to work with. She instills trust through her demeanor, honesty and discretion. She’s fair but tough. Serious but fun to work with. I hope to have a chance to work with her again soon. Even if in order to do that I would have to hire her.” - Albert Stopniewicz, Compliance & Privacy Adviser

“As Director and Manager of the Supplier programs team it has been my responsibility to negotiate and contract with major suppliers for Greenpoint's VIP customer programs. The work I did and the negotiations that were successful were in large part because of the relationship and teamwork that Shannon and I had within Greenpoint. Shannon was key to building iron clad contracts for current programs but more importantly she has the skillset necessary to navigate trouble areas on contracts that were already in place and were not so ironclad. Her knowledge of corporate law made it easy for me to bounce ideas when dealing with issues like liabilities due to prolonged deliveries or poor performance. Much of what I have done would not have been successful without Shannon's support. I would highly recommend Shannon for any position where she can utilize her legal background in business and in building business relationships.” - Thomas Benningfield, Collins Aerospace

“Shannon is an exceptional attorney and zealous advocate for her clients. As a former King County prosecutor, Shannon brings insight and a unique perspective to her law practice. She has an exceptional work ethic and she is fun to work with! Having worked with Shannon for 5 months, I would highly recommend Shannon.” - Jennifer Slattery, Judge - Whatcom County Superior Court
