Managing Principal Stephen R. Elville and Elville and Associates are pleased to announce that attorney Shannon Goodwin has been promoted to Principal with the firm.
Ms. Goodwin joined Elville and Associates as an Associate Attorney in 2021 and was promoted to Senior Associate Attorney soon thereafter. Over the past three years, as the Leader of the firm’s busy Estate and Trust Administration Department she has quickly shown the scope and depth of her talents and knowledge in the complex world of estates and trusts. She partners with and counsels clients as they address the sometimes challenging matters of the administration of loved ones’ estates from start to finish, including helping navigate the probate process, inventory and reportings, accountings, and much more.
After her undergraduate work at North Carolina State University, Shannon participated in multiple internships and externships and distinguished herself as a member of the Syracuse Law Review. Upon graduating from law school, she gained valuable experience by working as a Judicial Law Clerk for three years in the Circuit Court for Washington County, as well as in the District Court for both Washington and Frederick Counties. Shannon then transitioned to private practice and joined Elville and Associates in 2021.
In 2024, Shannon was named to the Maryland Rising Stars List by Super Lawyers. Each year, no more than 2.5 percent of the lawyers in the state are selected by the research team at Super Lawyers to receive this honor.
Shannon can be reached at sgoodwin@elvilleassociates.com, or by phone at 443-393-7696 x116 and always looks forward to meeting new advisors and speaking with individuals and families about their estate and trust administration matters.
