About Shawn
Biography
When I was about 12 years old an elderly neighbor asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I told him I was thinking about being a lawyer. He coldly shook his head and scoffed "there are already too many lawyers." His kind wife scolded him and told me that it would "be a fine thing to have a 'good lawyer." After that, whenever I was asked, I told people I wanted to be an architect.
I came back to the law after graduating from college and working for a couple of years. I was drawn to the law because I enjoy troubleshooting and problem solving. I was drawn to the law because I enjoy helping people and resolving disputes. I enjoy strategic and advance planning. I occasionally drive past the home of those old neighbors and hope that I am at least a "good lawyer."
