About Shawn
Biography
After working for the lenders prosecuting foreclosure cases throughout the State of Florida, I decided to open my own practice and defend Florida homeowners from foreclosure. However, I always discuss and create a plan with the client. We do not defend foreclosures simply to pride ourselves on slowing down the bank, but as a bigger picture resolution to help people solve their financial problems.
