About Shannon
Shannon Tenney earned her Juris Doctor from Marquette University Law School in 2017 after completing a Bachelor of Science at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 2010. Her undergraduate studies combined biology and Spanish, an unusual pairing that has informed how she approaches legal questions that touch on science and language. She arrived in law school with that dual perspective and carried it through her studies and early practice.
Her admission and practice are centered in Wisconsin. She serves as an attorney at Sterling Law Offices, S.C., where she has worked on a range of matters for individuals and businesses. Colleagues describe her as steady in the workroom and precise in written work. Those traits have matched the demands of her caseload, where clear analysis and careful client communication matter.
Tenney's background in biology gives her a useful baseline when cases involve technical subjects. She also speaks Spanish, which helps in client interviews and document review when language is part of the equation. Those skills do not define every matter she handles, but they expand the tools she brings to routine practice tasks like evidence review, witness interviews, and briefing.
In the office she divides time between client contact and legal drafting. She has handled research-intensive assignments and has been responsible for preparing pleadings and memoranda. The record in her matters shows methodical case preparation and an attention to the factual record. She tends to take complex material and present it in a way that is accessible to clients and judges.
Outside the courtroom, Tenney maintains professional ties in the Wisconsin legal community. She keeps current on developments in state law and participates in local continuing education. That engagement helps her monitor changes that can affect client options and courtroom procedure. She is also comfortable working with expert witnesses when scientific or technical explanation is required.
She currently practices at Sterling Law Offices, S.C., serving clients in Wisconsin.
