About Shawn
Biography
I grew up in Pittsburgh, having attended Montour High School and the University of Pittsburgh. I have 3 boys and live in the North Hills. When not in the office, you might see me at my kids' baseball, hockey or wrestling practices.
Given my family activities, I find that a good time to meet with clients is Sunday evenings if you can't fit in a weekday appointment. Call me and I'd be more than happy to meet with you.

I'm used to being the one *behind* the desk telling people what they need to know to get the most out of their situations, but needing assistance in a field of law outside of my area of practice gave me a useful "how the other half lives" perspective. I am pleased to be able to say that Shawn Wright has "the stuff."
