This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

real estate disclosure fraud situation

Retained Shaun for a clear case of Disclosure Fraud by the sellers when we were buying a house. He initially worked diligently (was paid by the hour) but then was unable to stop the runaround from seller's attorney/broker/agent etc. so it turned out that only the lawyers got money. He should have foc...used/pushed on the clearly unlawful fraud that sellers committed. Very unhappy we got no justice. We only wanted our mold repairs paid. Would not recommend him.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Very glad I chose Shaun!

I've had limited interaction but I can tell you my brief experience was nothing but pleasant. He was knowledgeable and judicious with his advice. He provided a consult and gave me some advice in order to research whether or not I need his services. I can't express how happy I am that I called him.

Great representation on mediation and foreclosure

Shaun was recommended to me by a colleague of his, and I have been very happy with his work. I was a buyer of a residential home and was poorly represented by my agent, and the sellers did not fully disclose some property defects. Shaun represented me at a mediation between all the parties. I felt... well prepared going in and we got a fair settlement. Ultimately, I lost the property in a foreclosure and Shaun also guided me through this. Foreclosure is a terrifying thing to go through, but Shaun’s thorough knowledge of the process was very reassuring. Everything happened as he said it would, on the timeline that he stated. Shaun is always very responsive, returns emails and phone calls promptly, and was always available if I wanted to send off a quick question or two or ask a question by phone. The sense that I had someone available for guidance at all times was very reassuring. His billing was always accurate and I was never overbilled. Considering the peace of mind I got, the cost was well worth it. I would recommend Shaun to anyone facing these situations.

Excellent Attorney

Excellent Attorney. He listens well. Gets right to the heart of the matter quickly and economically. His integrity is without question. I continue to work with Shaun for myself as well as refer friends to him for Estate Planning, Real Estate, and Arbitration My only regret is that I did not becom...e his client much sooner. VTW CPA

"When a Avvo 10.0 business lawyer recommends another Avvo 10.0 attorney, there is some good basis. The answers of Mr. Boss are consistently accurate, analytic, and customized to the needs of the Avvo asker. These are exactly the qualities that every client would be looking for when hiring an attorney."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Shaun and I were oppossing counsel in a difficult multi party real estate dispute.Throughout the litigation, he was professional, knowledgable, responsibe and reasonable. Those traits define a good lawyer. During the litigation, I learned he was a real estate broker and mediator. Because of his broad experience and talents, I have since utilized Shaun as a mediator in a number of business/real estate matters. Shaun is also an effective mediator and we resolved the disputes. I highly recommend Shaun as a lawyer and mediator . Stephen T Cummings"

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I met Shaun in 1990 as opposing counsel in a mechanic's lien foreclosure action. He is a terrific, experienced real estate and business lawyer - very knowledgeable and well-regarded. I was impressed by the way he handled the case, which resulted in a quick settlement favorable to both our clients. I have remained friends with Shaun and call him on occasion to ask for his opinion on real estate issues. I would not hesitate to refer other lawyers or clients to Shaun to deal with their real property legal issues."
