great family attorney

Shawn not only gives sound legal advice, but he takes into account the well-being of parents and children, and presents a realistic picture of possible outcomes. He is knowledgeable, experienced and great at communicating with his clients and the other party involved. I highly recommend his services!...

  • 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.
