Shon Anne Cook
Managing Attorney, CEO
Shon Cook has a passion for the law and working with clients to reach favorable outcomes. She has been representing individuals for over 30 years, in nearly every area of the law. She now focuses on family law issues that include complex and high-asset divorce, custodial and parenting time issues, spousal support, guardianships, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, collaborative law, and mediation. Her philosophy is simple. Use the power of the law to do great things for the people she represents.
Shon is not only sought after by her clients, but she is frequently a speaker on legal issues for the State Bar of Michigan and the Institute of Continuing Legal Education. She helps to train lawyers and Judges through the state on vital issues affecting families and division of assets.
Shon has also coached countless soccer, softball and basketball teams as her children grew up in the Whitehall area. She has three children, has held ownership interest in three law firms and has run three marathons. Shon considers these her trifecta of accomplishments.
