My SLA attorney

I've used Shawn for years for all my dealings with the State liquor authority. Shawn is always professional and has always been a huge asset to me and my business. If you're looking to open a business that deals with the SLA he's your man.

Knowledgeable, Responsive & Hard Working

Shawn played a crucial role in helping me open my business. In addition to setting up my LLC he helped me with lease negotiations and, most importantly, obtain my liquor license. He was upfront, honest and knowledgeable about the licensing process, and took the time to make sure I was informed every ...step of the way. I had many questions, sometimes repetitive, and he always responded kindly and promptly. His expertise and guidance over the 5+ months it took helped to take a great deal of stress and burden off of my shoulders. I would not hesitate to recommend him!

Highly recommend Shawn May

I have hired Shawn on multiple occasions . First was to help me through a legal issue with the SLA for a business I was managing . He is knowledgeable and professional and was able to help me with a positive outcome for both myself and the business . He guided me in the right direction when I had no ...idea about any of these legal matters . I then hired him for my purchase of the business and to help me obtain my own liquor license . He facilitated the whole sale and was able to get my license for me with no issues . He is professional , trustworthy , and dependable in every aspect of his business . If you need advice or a lawyer I would highly recommend hiring Shawn.

Great lawyer

Shawn came recommended to me by two people for when I needed legal help with my liquor license and I couldn’t be happier with the suggestion. Shawn went above and beyond making sure my license was in my hands in a timely manner. He constantly contacted NYSLA on my behalf and checked in with me often.... I’ve had multiple questions for him even after my license arrived to which he answers almost immediately, he’s even taken my calls while on vacation. HIGHLY recommend him to anyone needing legal help!
