Impeccable Client Service

Shawna is one of the hardest working attorneys I have ever met. She follows through to completion of the project, promptly returns phone calls, never loses composure and gets us to where we need and want to be in a cost-efficient manner. Would highly recommend for research and development, client int...eraction and ultimate service in her field of expertise

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.
