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.

Breathe of Fresh Air

Responsive and on top of it. I didn't have to call back over and over. I appreciated his responsiveness and knowledge.

Cares about his clients

Shawn is the type of attorney you can count on...which you don't come across as often as you'd think. He is compassionate and knowledgable. He will go to great lengths to ensure that everything that can be done will be done. I never feel misrepresented or like I didn't "get my money's worth" whenever... we close a case. He has several years of experience and it varies from criminal to civil matters. You won't go wrong if you choose Shawn!
