About Shannon
Shannon McFee is a Florida attorney who represents people facing DUI and other criminal charges. She studied criminology at the University of South Florida, earning a B.A. in 1990, then completed her J.D. at Florida State University College of Law in 1992. Her academic background in criminology informed her choice of practice areas and gave her an early grounding in how criminal justice systems operate.
After law school, McFee began working in criminal defense. Her early work involved courtroom appearances and negotiations that required quick judgment and careful preparation. Over the years she has handled a broad range of criminal matters. She is known among peers for steady courtroom presence and for preparing cases methodically before trial.
McFee maintains professional memberships that keep her connected to developments in criminal law. She attends legal education programs and participates in association activities to stay current on evolving statutes and procedures in Florida. That ongoing engagement helps her track changes in DUI law and other criminal statutes that affect day-to-day practice.
In practice she deals with the details that often determine case outcomes: arrest reports, lab results, witness statements, and procedural issues such as search and seizure. She approaches each file with a careful review of the evidence and an eye on practical resolution. Her work includes negotiating plea agreements and representing clients at hearings and jury trials when necessary.
Clients who seek her out are often confronting stressful, time-sensitive problems. She aims to explain options in plain language. Court processes can be obscure to nonlawyers, so McFee focuses on clear communication about likely outcomes and tactical choices. She balances the demands of litigation with efforts to resolve cases efficiently when that is in a client’s interest.
Based in Florida, McFee practices as a DUI and criminal defense lawyer and continues to work on cases in state courts. Her current practice focuses on DUI and criminal defense in Florida.
