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 Finished My Case Right

I've never written an online review, but I felt the need to share the positive experience I had this past spring with Shaun Kaufman Law. Shaun and his investigator stepped into my case which had been threatened by a previous, inexperienced family friend who's a lawyer. My case was set for trial just... weeks after the previous lawyer withdrew. I was in a bind, and to be honest, I was scared. A friend who's a court clerk suggested I contact Shaun Kaufman because she had observed first hand his adept and qualified handling of various cases in her courtroom. Shaun immediately took action on my case. He met with witnesses, he forwarded their statements to the D.A.'s office, and met with the D.A. twice before my case was settled without conviction and without jail. I can't tell you how appreciative I am for his help. Because of him, I got my life back and I was at home for my daughter's 5th birthday party. I have a deferred sentence in a case where everyone expected me (and told me!) I would go to jail. Because of Shaun Kaufman, I didn't.
