An Exceelent Lawyer

Shawn is an excellent Lawyer for Family matters. She is very trustworthy, honest, respectful, all kept me in the loop. I would for sure refer her to any friends or family that would need a lawyer for any of the things she does law in. I'm glad I had her as my lawyer.

Great Attorey

Shawn was an excellent attorney.. She was always there when I needed to contact her, she was comforting whenever she suspected I was down, and she was optimistic in every situation which was needed and I feel was an important part of the whole process. Overall, I believe I was blessed to have Shawn's... help.

Excellent Criminal Attorney

Ms. Perry is an excellent attorney. I would highly recommend her to anyone that has a criminal matter, small or large. She is very knowledgeable about the legal system and well respected by the Prosecutor's office and Judges. She really helped me out.

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.
