Highly Respected by Peers and Clients

I cannot recommend Shawn C. Whittaker highly enough. Not only is he a very well-respected litigator by his peers (especially in real estate, condominium, and HOA law; he is admitted in DC, MD, and VA), he is keenly intelligent and has a phenomenal memory. He also gets high marks for being ethical, fa...ir, humane, and generous with his knowledge, experience, and time. He extended help to me and respected my deadline by promptly responding to my emails and phone calls, reviewing a letter I had written to an adversarial attorney, and allowing me to CC him on it BEFORE asking for a dime or retainer agreement, all of which convinced me to retain him over three other lawyers. He's truly one-of-a-kind and a powerful credit to the profession. Other lawyers would do themselves a favor by emulating him in every respect.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
