Amazing

Shawn was referred to me by a friend. My case was extremely difficult but he never gave up. I literally got the best outcome I could have wished for. If you need a defense attorney I recommend him hands down. Very good communication and it is easy to see he cares about his clients.

Excellent Defense Attorney

Shawn is the best defense attorney by far! Shawn truly cares about his clients. He represented our son in his case, and worked hard to get the best outcome and would not take anything less than the best for our son. Shawn also was compassionate, made sure we understood everything that was happening.... He really put our son and family at ease during the process.

Great Representation

Shawn is a fantastic attorney. I have hired Shawn on 2 occasions and with each case he was able to use his knowledge and skillset to acquire a dismissal for both legal issues. I would highly recommend Shawn and Mac for legal representation of any kind. I have nothing but good things to say.

Love Shawn - We've Named Him Part of the Dream Team

This is real, not paid. We hired him, went through 2 lousy attorneys separately before him. He listens. You cannot be a decent lawyer and not listen to the client or family. We're the family. He really listened. You're not just a file. He's ethical, great at what he does. He's engaging, which is impo...rtant in a courtroom. He, Mac and Jorge make a formidable team, should you need more attorneys on the case. Because of their superior research and writing skills in their motions, their care and concern and listening, we've (family) have named them the Dream Team. We've been involved with him for over 2 years now through Covid delays. We still confer and are amazed by the motions this office submits and their care. I'm not a reviewer, not a desk person so for me to sit and write all this is huge for me. I'm writing this because searching for an attorney is daunting and we went through 2 lazy, worthless attorneys, felt like we were on an island lost and alone. Shawn and his team gets it ie this is your or your family member's reputation, future and/or life at stake. Did I mention the District judge gave a compliment on the motion? You must have an attorney with great research/writing skills.

A mind of unparalleled intellectual elegance...

It's not every day that you have the great good fortune to meet and work with someone like Ishan Sareen. A relentlessly skilled professional, laser-focused on the law, he critically examines the issues without buffer or distraction. A mind of unparalleled intellectual elegance, Shawn emanates uncommo...n clarity, generosity and astonishing interconnectedness with his clients. Also lovely in person and in spirit. It doesn't get any better than this.
