Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse this lawyer. The application would only allow me to endorse Shawn for one area, so I've known him most recently in child welfare cases and I checked family law. But I've known Shawn for approximately 20 years. Many of those years we were as a co-worker in public defense. So I also know him to be an EXTREMELY aggressive criminal attorney of the highest caliber. And when I say that, I mean that if either of my own children had a criminal case or a DWI, I would not think twice about paying Shawn to work for us. I know that he would get the best possible outcome for them. I have been on all sides of of Shawn. (Smile.) I have been a co-worker, an opponent, and recently he has ruled as a pro tem on my own motions several times in Juvenile Court. He's a fighter, his rulings are fair, he's a renaissance man, and a damned interesting guy."

"Shawn is a compassionate and highly creative advocate. Shawn brings to his practice a keen scientific mind and background. I would call him myself if I personally needed an attorney."

"Shawn is not just an excellent trial lawyer, but also a highly credentialed scientist. He was the go-to guy in our previous law office of some 90 lawyers whenever there was a complex scientific issues lawyers wanted to understand. He has a wicked sense of humor, and even in the middle of a long-drawn out and hectic trial, he shows neither fatigue nor stress. In fact, he is the first one to teach me about the concept of Receiver Operating Characteristics curve, which to this day I use in my cross examination of experts. He is well respected by his opposing counsel for his intelligence, zealous advocacy, and his sense of fairness. I totally and completely endorse Shawn."

"Mr. Crowley is an experienced and dedicated attorney. I have known him for quite a few years and have seen how effective and knowledgeable he is. Mr. Crowley was a long-time public defender, and also serves as a pro tem judge in King County. He uses his perspective and insight as a judge to effectively and zealously represent his clients in an ethical and efficient manner. I would easily recommend Mr. Crowley to a friend or loved one in need of an attorney."

"Shawn Crowley is an exceptional attorney. He is smart, methodical, and tenacious--everything one needs in a lawyer. He approaches cases with compassion and dissects them with his sharp legal mind. He draws from his vast academic, legal and life experiences. He is creative yet focused. I would highly recommend Shawn Crowley."

Liza Burke

Child abuse lawyer | May 08

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have attended legal seminars at which Shawn spoke regarding child welfare proceedings and have been impressed with his knowledge and communication skills. I recently had the opportunity to work together with Shawn on a very serious child abuse case in which infant twins were taken from their parents by the State for alleged abuse (a bone fracture). The matter was pending trial for several months and during that time I strategized and collaborated with Shawn nearly daily. Shawn is very smart and has a scientific mind that was a significant asset to this representation. He is a veteran lawyer, who is grounded, highly intelligent, diligent and compassionate. His sense of humor provides a nice balance to the otherwise serious work he undertakes. I would not hestitate to recommend him or to work with him again."

"I have known Shawn Crowley for over twenty years. Aside from being a brilliant lawyer with skills honed by many years in court on a daily basis, he is one of the kindest people I know. His compassion for his clients, his commitment to the underdog, and his tenacious pursuit of justice set him apart. Shawn's scientific training alows him to aggressively undermine much of the questionable scientific evidence that is so often used by the goverernment these days. I recommend Shawn without hesitation."
