Highly experienced and respected

He resolved a difficult case, in one court session, with minimal challenges, and knew exactly what needed to be done. Also was done at a cost that made counsel affordable when I otherwise would not have been able to.

Highly respected

Ran into some trouble and was charged with two misdemeanors. The people’s offer was 90 days jail time. After the initial court date and consultation with Mr. Kassman and after months of me compiling crucial paperwork the charges were reduced to violations with the sentence being 49 hours of community... service and several hundred dollar fines. A little costly in the end obviously but well worth it in the end when you have an amazing attorney on your side to represent you. Not to mention the fact that every court appearance I was the first one addressed by the judge and first one out because of Mr. Kassman.

Shawn Kassman on traffic violations

Shawn was recommended to me by a friend and he has represented me twice on traffic related violations and each time has surpassed my expectations. Each time he was able to reduce charges to fair settlements. He also got it done without my presence so I didn’t need to miss work. He is worth every ...penny.

Excellent Attorney

I had a case in May, 2015 with Attorney Kassman. I handed him three traffic violation tickets to him. Although I lost two tickets and it was not a problem for him. He took care of all of them before July, 2015. In February,2016, I got a letter that said there would be a suspension of my license in Ma...rch, 2016. I thought the Attorney didn't handle them well. After I did some research, I realized it was my mistake that I didn't explain well to Mr. Kassman my situation resulted the consequence. However, my attorney did not charge me more to take care of this and he put a lot of efforts and time to dismissed my ticket. He is a pretty reasonable and patient attorney. I recommend him.
