This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Absolutely knowledgable and precise. Patient and constructive.

I conducted many interviews before making the decision to work with Shawn. I familiarized myself with what chapter 7 entailed and most details on how it worked. Many lawyers made up answers to my questions that were not correct according to the law, I felt they were just trying to reel me in. Shawn a...nswered every single question I had precisely and I felt I could work with him even after 15 minutes of talking to him over the phone. I had my doubts with the process since my case was decently complex compared to most, but he alleviated me of all my anxieties throughout the process. I felt like he personally cared about my case and wanted to make sure I was satisfied with the result in a timely manner with no hiccups. I am extremely satisfied with how everything was handled, and will definitely be keeping Shawn on the top of my list for attorney help. -T

landlord

I just spent 50 minutes on the phone with Shawn. I have a unique issue in that a tenant died and left property in my building. Shawn looked up civil codes and explained to me how to navigate this tricky situation. He is so knowledgeable, kind and helpful. He then recommended another firm to handl...e my case. I so appreciate his condor and advice. He went well beyond his normal consultation time. I am so grateful and will definitely reach out to him if and when landlord/tenant issues arise.

10 STARS IF I COULD!

I can't say enough great things about this law firm! My family went through the CSLB Arbitration process after our roof was improperly installed by a licensed contractor. They were so wonderful every step of the way and extremely thorough in preparing for the court hearing. They were very professi...onal in the arbitration, and WON the case! Please do not look any further when choosing an attorney, they are the perfect fit for all your legal needs! We will absolutely be repeat customers for all of our personal and business needs! Thank you Huston and McCaffrey team, you're the best!

Get's The Job Done!

My name is David. I hired Shawn and Kelly to help me seek damages from a contractor who installed defective materials in my home. After 9 months of being ignored, deceived, and mistreated by the contractor, I decided to pursue legal action. Shawn and Kelly took a proactive and professional a...pproach and initially created a very detailed demand letter citing various legal precedence and legal remedies to attempt to find an out of court settlement. Coupled with claims with the California Contractors State License Board and the contractor’s Bond company, we were not only successful achieving a fair settlement, but I also covered my legal costs and all of the costs to repair my home. There were even enough monies left over to take my wife out for dinner after a year of feeling helpless against a dishonest company. I would also like to disclose that I previously had a disagreement with a tenant who also used Huston/McCaffrey to represent them. I am pleased to say that that tenant and I were able to find a solution. I felt that Kelly and Shawn represented my tenant so well, that if they were good enough for my tenant they were good enough for me. If you can’t beat them, join them. And that’s what I did. Through Huston/McCaffrey I achieved more than I thought would be possible. I highly recommend the services of Huston/McCaffrey, LLP. Thank you Shawn and Kelly. Sincerely, David

Excellent, thorough, patient, knowledgeable.

Mr. Shawn went out of his way to provide expert opinion on my legal matter involving litigation in court with a neighbor that allows his dog to bark all the time. He responded to multiple questions in a very timely matter, and cited previous similar court cases in details. Thank you!

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
