Our Community

From Nurse to Attorney — A Mission Born from Experience

After more than two decades as a Registered Nurse, Shannon witnessed firsthand how catastrophic injuries can upend lives. She saw patients struggle not only with pain and recovery but with mounting medical bills, lost wages, and insurance companies that prioritized their bottom line over people. That experience drove her to law school — determined to fight for patients from the other side of the table.

Today, Shannon combines that clinical understanding with legal advocacy to serve the Durango community and the entire Four Corners region. Our firm actively supports local organizations that enhance public health, safety, and community well-being — because this is our home too.
