Shanon Keith Stanfield

Founder and Head Attorney

I am a trial attorney and litigator with over 14 years experience representing individuals and businesses in counties all over Texas. I have appeared before numerous state district courts, county courts, justice of the peace courts, and federal trial courts on behalf of clients.

My strategies and legal skills have been developed and refined over the course of more than 500 cases that have been resolved at various stages in the litigation process.

While SKS Law primarily focuses on cases involving real estate disputes, construction defects, commercial and partnership disputes, and consumer disputes, I also have experience representing clients in trademark matters, divorces, personal injury cases, and criminal cases.
