John and Kasey were phenomenal! My husband and I could not have asked for a better duo, they both spent so much time working on our case and made the impossible possible. I’ve never had someone go out of there way to work with us as much as they did. Communication is steady and timely, all questions were addressed and handled appropriately. If you ever need someone who genuinely cares, we HIGHLY recommend them. Our family is thriving together because of them! Thank you so much John and Kasey, Todd and I will forever be indebted to you guys. (courtesy of Gravis Law – Muskegon)

YOU WANT HER ON YOUR TEAM!

Shon Cook is a dedicated lawyer! She helped our family get joint custody of my niece and ultimately rescued her from an uncertain future full of chaos. She was a steadfast professional and helped us navigate through the legal system as our family does not have any experience in that realm. Her staff were very helpful and professional as well and we cannot thank them enough! She is fully invested in helping her clients get the best outcome possible. She is well connected in the legal community and works well with all ancillary professionals. Her fees are very reasonable and well worth the money! She did an excellent job gathering information and preparing our case. Yes, we won, but even if we had not I would give her a 5 star review for her professionalism, passion, and support!

When I unexpectedly needed the advice of a lawyer, I reached out to John Karafa. I found John to be very compassionate and knowledgeable. Additionally, he has an exceptional office staff.

We were seeking grandparenting time with our granddaughter. After one lawyer told us that she didn’t think she could get us anything. I saw on Facebook that someone referred to Shon Cook as a “shark” in family law. We decided to contact Tabono Law and since then we have had an amazing experience. Everyone at Tabono Law from Shon to our paralegal Nicole, and even the receptionists has treated us with great respect, keeping us well informed, and yes getting results! We wholeheartedly recommend Tabono Law for any family law issue, they are amazing, thorough, and compassionate.

Around a year ago my ex tried to move to Texas with my daughter. She had sole legal and physical custody. I was referred to Shon and honestly didn’t think we would win. I had considered throwing in the towel on more than one occasion. It was a long fight but in the end my wife and I won primary custody of my daughter. My family is indebted to Shon, we will never forget her professionalism and tenacity. She fought like it was her own daughter. I would recommend Shon to anyone, she’s really amazing.

2 years later and we had to go back to court. Shon worked very hard and did an amazing job with our case. I had to testify before the judge and Shon helped me feel comfortable and confident. Needless to say we won the case and now we can continue our lives and grow as a family. I owe it all to Shon Cook.

Today is Martin Luther King Day. Two years ago, on MLK day, with my two-year-old girl in tow, I drove to Muskegon and Whitehall areas looking for an attorney who was willing to take my unusual case. A new judge in Muskegon County ordered to have my bank accounts cleaned and paychecks garnished to give to my ex-husband 5 (five) years after my divorce was finalized.

My ex-husband came back to court 5 (five) years after a division of property was already done with no discrepancies. Due to that order, it became a very complicated case, and a 40-year veteran family lawyer in Muskegon had already told me that as illegal as the court order was, I had no hope!

So, I was thinking that Shon would definitely reject me as a new client and honestly, I wouldn’t blame her. And if she would take me as her client, her fees would certainly cost me more than I could pay. I accepted the fact that I would live with the injustice, and no one would be able to rectify it.

I was dumbfounded when Shon was willing to take my case! She was very straightforward, empathetic, meticulous, and resourceful. I completely trusted her; never once did I have to ask her: “Hey Shon, what’s going on with my case?” I trusted Shon fully that she would take care of my case diligently and to the best of her ability.

Her staff was very empathetic and treated me sympathetically and respectfully. Shon understood my case very well, devised the best course in handling it, lined up expert witnesses who were there to inform the court that the “judgment” against me should be reversed.

Shon took care of my complicated case in less than a year – exceeding my expectations! I wish she was the one who had handled my case from the beginning.

If you are facing a challenging legal situation and need highly competent, and empathetic representation, I highly recommend Shon Cook to be your lawyer. I believe that Shon Cook should be a judge in Muskegon County!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our family owes so much to Shon. Our granddaughter is now with her dad where she belongs. She is a very happy little girl who now lives in a safe, stable and very happy home. When we had to travel out of the state to get her, Shon kept in constant contact with us. She even went out of her way to help us hire an out-of-state attorney, which was necessary in this particular case. The moral support she gave us made us feel like we were the most important clients she had, even though she was working on many, many other cases at the same time. It just goes to show her passion for her clients and what’s in the best interest for them. We love her and will NEVER forget all that she has done for us.

Patrice Sparks
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I retained the services of Shon in December of last year, unfortunately I did so after a horrible experience with another local attorney. I have to say that she has done more for my grandson and me in a little amount of time than the previous attorney ever did for us. I find her to be forthcoming, honest and seeing my grandson more than just a “case” she is handling. She pulls no punches and gets to the heart of the matter. I was incredibly impressed with her performance in the courtroom. I have battled to protect my grandson and for the first time in a long time, I now have hope, thanks to Shon Cook. I know my case is not complete yet but with Shon on our side, I am stronger and more confident that my grandson is now being protected by an attorney who cares.

I sincerely hope that the court reviews the case law expertly presented by Shon and finds in my favor, but even if that is not the case, I cannot say enough good about this law office and all the employees contained within.

“Shon Cook Law — The Good Witch Of The Law” — Good Witch? Bad Witch? Hmmm… However you want to think of her slogan, the most important part of it is “of the LAW.” Unlike the vast majority of attorneys out there who seem to always tell you “yes, I can do that” or “no problem” just to let you down in the end or never get it done, Shon does! She is honest to the core and full of integrity. She will educate you on the law and fight for you within it. If something can’t be legally accomplished, she will tell you so. Shon is true “quality people” and doesn’t have to put on a circus act in court. She KNOWS the law and knows how to litigate it. So good witch, bad or in my opinion GREAT witch of the law, beyond anything and most importantly, Shon Cook makes the “law” work!

I offer a unique perspective because my divorce required me to retain two attorneys. The first attorney meant well and represented me with good intentions, but at the end of the day, the results were not conclusive nor favorable to me. The first attorney ended her practice to accept a public position. When my ex-wife decided to file a motion to adjust her spousal support, I searched extensively for new legal counsel. I am very glad I found Shon. She is a good listener and considered all my requests. At the same time, she is very knowledgeable and guided me on what to reasonably expect. Shon concluded my case in good fashion. She is meticulous and detailed and presented the case professionally. I recommend you consider.
