About Shawn
Biography
I take pride in representing people against the government. In Virginia, where the culture of over-criminalization and mass incarceration is still strong as ever, it feels good to fight on behalf of the citizens who are caught up in this system.
I work hard for my clients because I care, not only about the outcome of their cases, but about the impact on their lives.

Recognizing Shawn Stout
I'd like to take a moment to recognize Shawn Stout. He came to me like an Angel and a gift from God. My situation was very complex due to the poor representation from a previous lawyer.
