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, fair, 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.
