Shawn Bolger was born in Oak Park, Illinois and has lived in the Chicagoland all of her life.

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.
