CEO

‘Shaun is an excellent attorney. He has worked hard to present our case in a very professional and precise way. He also has a very solid legal team that were instrumental in guiding us through the litigation process.

Posted by Andrew | April 12, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Business

Genuine attorney with a strong depth of bench

I've worked with Shaun on numerous occasions for both personal and business matters. I find Shaun, his staff, and firm to be of the highest caliber. There is no question that he and his firm have the depth of bench to solve the challenges each case requires. Shaun is a genuine person who takes the ti...me to understand his client's and their cases. In all my business interactions with Shaun, I always walked away knowing the next steps in the process and without lingering questions. I would highly recommend contacting him or his firm for legal matters or other consultative legal services.

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.
