also known as Shawn M. Bolger, Ltd.
Shawn Bolger was born in Oak Park, Illinois and has lived in the Chicagoland all of her life. She attended the University of Denver as an undergraduate where she received a Bachelor in Science and Business Administration, Cum Laude. Although it was hard to leave the Rocky Mountains, she returned to Chicago to attend DePaul University, where she graduated with a Juris Doctorate in 1984.
Shawn’s family has always been active in the local real estate market, so it was only natural to start her own law office with an emphasis on real estate. Shawn’s father was also an attorney and with his help and guidance she developed a thriving practice.
She has closed thousands of transactions and feels confident that the combination of old-fashioned professionalism with modern day savvy brings her client’s high quality representation at a real estate closing. She looks forward to helping you with your real estate closing.
