About Shawn
Biography
I provide everyday people who have everyday legal problems with the highest quality legal services in a timely fashion. I have been a licensed attorney since 1997. I served in the the United States Air Force (retiring after 23 years of service) in both the enlisted and officer corp. This experience provides me a unique ability to serve and understand the men and women in the armed services, as well as their unique needs and demanding work schedules. I believe that in developing a case strategy, it is important to listen to what my clients say and also to what they do not say before applying the law. I am tough and agressive in cases which demand such a demeanor, but I also work well with opposing counsel when appropriate to find innovative and creative resolutions to problems, thereby saving my clients time, money and emotional expense. I look forward to finding appropriate resolutions that meet my clients' needs and desires.

Thank You!
Shawn always kept me posted about what was going on and returned my calls and emails really quickly. He worked hard to make sure that the outcome of my divorce was fair to me and that all of the little details were taken care of. Hopefully I won't need an attorney again, but if I do, I will definit...

Awesome Lawyer
Shawn did a great job with my case after my first lawyer messed things up pretty badly. He sat down with me and explained where we needed to go and what needed to be done.
