Vaccine Injury Attorney (Of Counsel) - Elizabeth Hess

In February of 2022, Elizabeth Hess joined Shannon Law Group, P.C., to help our vaccine injury clients get the compensation they deserve from the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) in Washington, D.C.

She works on these vaccine injury claims from start to finish. Elizabeth works diligently to prepare petitions for filing, draft settlement offers, and more. She does everything she can to push our clients’ cases toward resolution.

Elizabeth has both a Juris Doctor and a certificate from an American Bar Association-approved paralegal program at the College of DuPage. With her unique legal background and education, Elizabeth is a fantastic advocate for our clients. 

She was drawn to SLG because she enjoys helping clients and knowing that the work she does matters to the success of their claims. She also enjoys working with our team. She says, “They are positive, helpful, and wonderful to work with.”

Before joining SLG, Elizabeth worked as a paralegal at a bankruptcy and tax law firm. She also worked as a supervisor at a local nuts and sweets store for over five years. There, she trained and managed employees in a fast-paced environment.

When she’s not in the office, you can find Elizabeth traveling stateside and abroad. She also loves to exercise and spend time with her three children, William, Isabella, and Grace—as well as her two cats, Gigi and Loki.
