Sincere, Sharp and Caring

Thank God I found Shawn when I divorced my narcissistic husband! Shawn is an expert in handling cases with high conflict personalities. My ex lied through the entire proceedings, but Shawn is thorough and analytical. He looked at my case from every angle and paid close attention to details. I rea...lized that every piece of paper and email that I sent to him, he read! He always explained the pros and cons each step of the way, and kept me informed. He anticipated every direction/position the other side would try to take. I was amazed how caring he was from start to finish and how he handled my difficult situation. Shawn shines in court! I nearly felt sorry for the opposing counsel. He presented the facts to the judge in a way she could understand. She was swayed by his presentation and knowledge of the case; he did not let one thing slip by. In court, Shawn displayed exceptional recall and remembered the smallest of details. I am forever thankful to him for all he has done for me and my children.

Shawn is by far the most professional lawyer I have ever dealt with. He is hard working, honest, responds in a timely manner, and gives great advice. I would HIGHLY suggest him to all my friends and family.

More than I expected.

Shawn guided me through every step of my divorce. He kept me informed, responded quickly, & exceeded all my expectations. I hope to never call him again, however I would not hesitate. He is confident, experienced, and got the job done. He delivered more than I expected. Thanks Shawn!

Great experience

Shawn assisted me with a prenuptial agreement. He was very pleasant to work with, very professional and provided excellent legal advise. Shawn would be very good to work with on cases that require expert legal counsel and sensitivity. I Highly recommend him.

"I have had the opportunity to litigate opposite Shawn on many occasions, and have always found him to be prepared, professional, and skilled -- without devolving to the sort of pettiness and personal attacks that ensnare too many practitioners in this field. He is an adversary to be respected, and a valuable member of the family law Bar."
