About Shawn
Biography
Our firm is dedicated to providing you with quality estate planning resources, so you can become familiar with all of the existing options. When you visit or call our office, we want you to feel comfortable discussing such an important issue concerning both you and your family. We want to arm you with the information you need to make an informed decision about your family’s future.
If you have a well-drafted estate plan in place, you’ll ensure that your estate passes to whom you want, when you want, and is carried out in the manner you’ve chosen. You can rest assured that your family won’t have to endure the public process and costly matter of probate. The government won’t be able to take what you’ve spent a lifetime building. But you need to be aware of the many options that exist in estate planning—and you must choose your attorney wisely.

Great Team
This is the second time I have worked with Shawn. He is very knowledgeable and easy to understand and takes time with you to explain things. I was also very impressed with Zenia Edwards. She was also very knowledgeable and a great help to Shawn and myself.

When it’s your appointment, you are never rushed
Shawn is very knowledgeable in trusts and estate planning which is what I hired him for. He makes you feel comfortable and has his computer right there in front of you so you can see what he’s doing good work.
