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.

Stress Free.
When I visited Mr. Wright's office I was comfortable immediatly. He made feel like I was a human being and not a means to him remodeling a room in his house. He asked me questions about myself as well as what I wanted from my case. No matter the question, he had the answer and that was reassuring. I was co disentangle that I picked the right person for my case. I am pleased with the outcome.

The Best and Only Bankruptcy Lawyer you will ever need!
If you want a lawyer who is honest, caring, tough and gets the job done. Attorney Shawn Wright is the one for you! Shawn has helped us save our home, get a loan modification, debts forgiven, and assisted us to reach a good payment plan while in chapter 13. We are almost complete with our Chapter 13 now with only a few months to go, and we can share with you, that Shawn has been supportive, has been fighting for our rights, knows the law, and will be with you with his knowledge and skills to assist you when finances and debts in your life seem to be at their very worst. Shawn Wright has changed our lives, given us hope, saved our home, and is one of the nicest, toughest lawyers who will fight for you in the courts. That is a hard combination to find these days, but that is what Attorney Shawn Wright is, honest, tells you like it is, caring, supportive, a tough smart man, that will not let you down. he knows his stuff, and he will get the job done. We felt a releif when we entered Shawn's office and he took the fear and the uncertainty away and gave to us hope and action. It was a 5 year journey for us and our chapter 13 and in those 5 years Shawn was only a phone call away, and he always answers you, if you have any questions. He assures you and gives you the knowledge to understand. We rate Shawn the best lawyer in Pittsbutgh, he has our trust, our loyalty. We would not choose anyone else to save our home, our actual state of living and surviving, to anyone else. Talk to him and you will see. He is the best!

Attorney Shawn Wright took me through the Bankruptcy process with ease
I entered into a chapter 13 in 2008 under the recommendation of Attorney Wright. Creditor's had confiscated my bank Accts. I had no where to turn. Attorney Wright Filed my bankruptcy papers and got my bank Accts released. He kept me informed through the whole process. I had health issues afterwards and was on disability and Attorney wright got my bankruptcy changed to a chapter 7 and the rest of my debt was wiped clean. I was most grateful to for this man coming into my life. "what a Godsend he was" All I have to say is Thank You, Thank You and Thank You, Attorney Shawn Wright

"I am both a colleague and a client. 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." I got from him exactly what I try to deliver to my own clients: a context in which to understand the decisions I must make, a clear "to do" list, a good sense of the timing for next steps, and answers to my questions.
