About Shane
Biography
Before becoming an attorney, I worked as an investigative journalist and then as a licensed private investigator. Today, I use many of the same skills to fight for my clients.
Research and writing are my passions, and I won't give up before my clients do. I've taken criminal, civil rights, and civil tort cases to trial in local, state, and federal courts, and I've argued before the Utah Court of Appeals and the Utah Supreme Court.
