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!
