About Shaun

Practice Areas

Criminal Defense 40%

I am a trial lawyer first, and I look for reasons why a case shouldn't go to trial instead of how to get you to accept a bad deal that you don't want.

31 years

40%
Domestic Violence 25%

The system makes it too easy for people to plead guilty in these cases, and you need someone who loves to try cases and win. I am a trial lawyer first, and a negotiator second.

31 years

25%
Divorce and Separation 20%

I am an active, aggressive lawyer who wants to see healthy families, and who wants to see families that see each other. Huge financial and emotional issues aside, this is about the kids. Whatever they suffer in this process is passed on for generations.

20%
Slip and Fall Accident 15%

This is an area of the law where an injured person needs a lawyer because insurance companies and juries don't want to pay someone who fell down and got injured. I suggest a trial lawyer with an understanding of the mechanics of how people get hurt when they slip.

He handled my messy divorce with insight & compassion

Another attorney recommended Shaun Kaufman to me when I knew I was facing a divorce. Just like the other lawyer said, I found Shaun to be smart, always willing to lend an ear & offered excellent advice. I was very nervous because I have two children and was very worried about their wellbeing. The di...vorce proceedings took almost 6 months and during that entire time Shaun guided me through some awful rough waters. Never once during this time did he let me down. I could always call with questions and he would take the time to explain things. One thing I really appreciated was how steady he was even when I knew my ex's lawyer was being pretty awful. Never once did I hear Shaun talk badly about anyone else, even that other lawyer. I ended up with a very good settlement.
