Gets the job done

I am the first to tell you that I am jaded, and think law is a business for lawyers play games with their clients, drag things out in order to get more money, and claim to loathe opposing counsel while meeting for drinks after a heated battle in front of the judge. (OK, maybe too much Law and Order).... However, in my case (and this is the third attorney I have had with the "Battle of the Blob" over the past 20 years) I stand by my 5 star rating. Shawn gave me solid advice, listened to my concerns, followed through on my requests, and SLAM-DUNKED opposing counsel in court. He listened to me and was open to my feedback; included me in decisions and next steps. It may have been a long and drawn-out process, which again is the court system in general, however Shawn remained steadfast, and was incredibly impressive in his representation in the court presentations. I am grateful for his expertise and representation which led to a favorable outcome.

Amazing attorney

Shawn knows his way around the law and will never let you down. He is absolutely brilliant. He has represented me on numerous cases and I have won every single one. I have never been let down. He will relentlessly fight for you. Best decision I have ever made was retaining him.

Brilliant Attorney

I've hired a few attorneys in the past to handle my case, all of which wanted money but didn't want to work for it. I was referred to Shawn by a friend who stated he is brilliant and a whiz when it comes to the law. My friend was right. He is excellent in court, not missing a beat. Files appropri...ate petitions in a timely manner and doesn't let the other party enter into a "spin zone". Reasonably priced for the area and you will get the most "bang for your buck" with this one!
