About Shannon Marino

Hello, I’m Shannon Marino. I became a Personal Family Lawyer because I wanted to help my clients be better prepared for when a sad day occurs.

I’m here to help young families, small business owners, and everyone in between navigate the maze of legal and financial decisions.

For nine years I worked on severe injury cases. It was devastating seeing my clients, and their families, struggle when a tragedy would strike and proper estate planning wasn’t in place. To address this issue, I first focus on developing closer connections with my clients and truly get to know their families’ needs and dynamics. Then I create comprehensive customized estate plans that will work when they are needed.

I love being a resource in my community and frequently host free online webinars on various estate planning topics. I’ve twice been named National Trial Lawyers Top 40 Under 40 Attorney. In 2022, my firm was voted Best of the Best in Castle Rock.

I am an active member of Colorado Trial Lawyers Association, Douglas and Elbert County Bar Association, Colorado Women Trial Lawyers, Florida Bar Association, and the Colorado Bar Association. I have offices in Castle Rock, Colorado and Orlando, Florida.

Most importantly, I’m a wife and a mother of three adventure-loving children. I’m a Florida native (Go Noles!) and enjoy reading on my front porch, camping in the mountains, and baking cakes.

“Instead of trying to make your life perfect, give yourself the freedom to make it an adventure.”

THE PERSONAL FAMILY LAWYER PROMISE

What makes PFL lawyers different?

How you hire us.

We begin with a comprehensive inventory of everything you own, and everyone you love, and consider it all in a working meeting, called a Family Wealth Planning Session, to guide you to clarify your financial life and legacy goals before we draft a single document.
How we plan.

We work with you throughout every life stage to map out the most likely scenarios for you and the people you love, planning for each as your life, the law, and your assets change over time.
What we protect.

Our Life & Legacy Planning process ensures everything that matters most -- from your financial assets to your values, insights, stories and experience -- are captured and documented during your life and cared for over the generations to come.
What you see.

Transparency in our process, and our fees … all of which are flat fees, agreed to in advance, based on your choices and with no surprises, ensuring we stay on the same side of the table - supporting you to make a lifetime of great decisions - every step of the way.
How we deliver.

Our systems help you get clear and organized, overcoming the exact issues that keep most estate plans from actually working when they are needed most. We help you leave your family with a gift of love, and not a mess.
How our plans work.

One-and-done estate plans focused only on money are a recipe for a big mess. We help you throughout every stage of life and be there for the people you love, when you can’t be.
