Rhine Law Firm

I cannot speak highly enough of Ruth Shanahan and Rhine Law Firm for their work on my workplace sexual harassment case. Ms. Shanahan represented me in my civil case against my workplace and went far beyond what was required of her role. She attended the criminal proceedings against the perpetrator with compassion and unwavering support, despite having no obligation to do so. She consistently showed up for both myself and the other victim at every criminal hearing and proceeding. That level of care and advocacy meant more to me than I can fully express. Throughout an ordeal that lasted over a year, Ms. Shanahan was kind, patient, and exceptionally informative. She took the time to ensure I understood every step of the process and never made me feel rushed, dismissed, or alone. I truly do not believe I could have endured or navigated this experience without her guidance and steady presence. When I made her aware of another victim, she took on that case as well and supported us both with equal professionalism and dedication. Even after the other victim’s untimely passing, Ms. Shanahan continued to handle the matter with dignity, compassion, and unwavering commitment. She remained a consistent source of support for the victim’s family, advocating on their behalf and guiding them through the process until the case was fully resolved. Throughout it all, she honored both the seriousness of the case and the individual whose voice it represented. Ultimately, both cases resulted in successful settlements, a testament to Ms. Shanahan's skill, persistence, and dedication to seeking justice for those she represents. Ruth Shanahan exemplifies what it means to be not only an outstanding attorney, but a genuinely good human being. I am deeply grateful for her advocacy, her empathy, and the integrity she and her firm demonstrated throughout this entire process. I would wholeheartedly recommend her and Rhine Law Firm to anyone seeking strong, compassionate, and principled legal representation.

My husband approached the firm in late October with a wrongful death/ negligence suit for a family member who passed . Initially the lawyer he chose was skilled in this arena. Many requests were made, documents had to be submitted, courthouse visits to set up estate/trust over 4 month period. My husband was beyond diligent and accomplished all that was needed to move forward. Unfortunately for us the lawyer from Rhine lost interest, became too busy with other cases and decided not to proceed. This happened by a short, inaccurate email which was shocking in its unprofessional demeanor. While we were not seeking monetary damages the case was dropped. How about a sit down meeting with an informed explanation? No. It has been both insightful and informative to learn that as potential clients we were discarded. Who knew?
