Shannon F. Ladner, Esq.

Attorney

Shannon F. Ladner, Esq.

Attorney

Shannon F. Ladner, J.D., is an Attorney with Moss Law, LLC, where she focuses her practice on estate planning, asset protection planning, and special needs planning. She works with individuals and families to understand their goals, consider their options, and put plans in place that address both their current needs and the future.

Before joining Moss Law, Shannon practiced elder law and estate planning law with a Howard County law firm. Prior to that, she practiced family and criminal law with a firm in Towson, Maryland. She began her legal career as a Judicial Law Clerk to Magistrates Susan M. Marzetta and Lori Joy Eisner in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City. Her experience in the courts gave her an early understanding of how family circumstances, legal issues, and a lack of planning can intersect, and helped shape her interest in working with clients before problems or crises arise.

While attending law school, Shannon also served as a Rule 19 Student Attorney with the Human Trafficking Prevention Project Clinic, where she advocated for survivors of human trafficking. That experience continues to influence the thoughtful and personal approach she brings to her work with clients today.

Shannon earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Baltimore School of Law in 2019 and her B.A. in Political Science, with a minor in Psychology, from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. She is admitted to practice in Maryland and is a member of the Maryland State Bar Association.

Shannon was selected to the Maryland Rising Stars list by Super Lawyers in 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026.

At Moss Law, Shannon enjoys helping clients make sense of what can sometimes feel like an overwhelming planning process. She takes the time to understand what is important to each client and their family and to help create a plan that reflects those priorities.
