Best lawyer

I came to Shawn for my divorce and custody. He’s the most hardworking professional lawyer I’ve seen. Helped me get full custody of my son and advises me anytime I have issues with the custody.

Dedicated to win and heart of a lion!!

My ex filed against me in pursuit of taking custody of our son away from me. I’m a flight attendant and I live in Alabama so obviously I was shaken to the core when I received court papers. I immediately took action and bc I am petty, I looked up the court case between my ex and his first son’s mothe...r. She also used Harris and Capristo. I called and spoke to the admin who kindly transferred me to Shawn. Through my hysteria, Shawn calmly spoke to me and was very empathetic. He was more than willing to take on my case. Shawn is highly knowledgeable of Maryland laws and noted points for the opposition. When he filed our opposition, my ex backed down right away. Not only did Shawn’s knowledgeable and accurate opposition scare my ex, he was also able to negotiate and get my lawyer fees paid by my ex. Shawn is intelligent, empathetic, and working with him was an absolute pleasure!! He didn’t make me feel like just a client. I felt like he actually cares about my emotional well being and kept me informed of every step. I would highly recommend Shawn Hrotic to everyone who is seeking a lawyer who is fierce, reliable, kind, and determined.

Outstanding Attorney

Shawn is a fantastic and talented attorney who was always available when I had questions. His expertise and experience made it possible to have a Protective Order dismissed. He also help me with an arrest charge of assault where I was found not guilty and having it expunge from my record. I hope I... will never have to need an attorney again but if I do Shawn is the guy I am going to and I will tell everyone I know if they ever need a lawyer he is the one.

Great Family Lawyer! Great Results!

I hired Shawn to help me with divorce back in 2017. Initially the divorce was going to be uncontested but then my ex wife decided she wanted alimony and the whole 9 yards. Working together with Shawn, we were able to create an agreement with my ex that did not include alimony, which is exactly what... I had wanted in the agreement. Fast forward to 2018, I hired Shawn again to help me with custody of my daughter. Again, I let Shawn know what I wanted out of the case (primary physical custody) and he gave me real expectations with real results. He got me, a single father, primary custody of my daughter. This was extremely important because she was beginning school and needed a stable environment for the school. There were a few obstacles in our way and the other party was uncooperative but Shawn handled it in a very legal and very compassionate way. When we left the court house, agreement in hand, I knew that I would recommend Shawn to anyone who needs results. As far as cost goes, Shawn's prediction for the case was accurate, especially considering the amount of problems that came in the case later on from the other party. He charges very reasonably for his work and does not nickle and dime you for nonsense.
