Shawn B Alexander

I initially contacted Shawn Alexander for assistance with a breach of contract lease. He handled it well. He always picks up the phone and he knows his RCW laws like a walking encyclopedia. My legal issues continued to compound from a disgruntled minority investor and Shawn continued on. I like Shawn..., I got to know him pretty well through the 5 months of working together. My issue came when the same minority investor served me with "Request for a receivership and dissolution of my company (which was doing perfectly fine). The Plaintiff hoped that by sliding the paperwork in the mail slot on my door would constitute "service" and with 7 days to respond to a 3" thick binder, their hope was that I would be holed up at home for Covid and would not see it and they would get an automatic judgement. Not the case. I saw it later that day. My CPA girlfriend and I worked nonstop to put together a great rebuttal as their lawsuit was junk. The problem came at the court hearing which none of the defense was imagining would happen. They didn't have a plan B if I did receive service and responded. After 3 hours, The judge said "I don't understand exactly what this case is about, so why don't you lawyers go in the back room for 20 minutes and figure out what we're trying to get done and how much court time this could take". Mr. Alexander immediately came over to my girlfriend and I and said "It's just going to be a continuance and call the police as the people who committed crimes (hadn't been charged) are here. While he was taking away all of our attention, the opposing council saw an "in" and quietly said "I'm pleased to announce that we have come to a receivership agreement"...he proceeded much louder "AND WERE ALL GOING TO TAKE 2 WEEKS TO FIGURE OUT THE TERMS OF THAT". I directed Shawn to please pay attention to court in session, Shawn just said "yes, yes, we agree and discuss over two weeks". The judge couldn't even believe it and asked if Shawn was certain that's what his client (me) requested. He said "yes". The opposing council quickly left and I sat for 10 minutes telling Shawn that whatever we didn't hear while you were in our face telling us to call the police just gave the other council a win. He disagreed. But....it was a video'd hearing and that section of the Video was brought up at the next hearing and a Receivership was ordered. I lost my business that I had nearly $500,000 into on the spot as the receiver relinquished assets (to me and my business) as liabilities. The receiver is still raking it over. All of my neighbor businesses had the best summer in history, and not only did we lose in covid, we lost the summer, I lost the business. Shawn had also told my girlfriend and I that "even if we ever possibly lost, we'd appeal it and win because the judge is up for re election." He refused to do an appeal once we lost. So take all of this for what you will. Shawn is a nice guy and can help with property disputes and collecting on claims, but this receivership case was over his head and I lost the majority of my savings as a result. His invoices come by paypal also, not the typical breakdown of time and expense, for what it's worth.

I was thoroughly impressed with how quick he answered my initial question and his willingness to answer follow up questions. I was drowning trying to figure out the steps to file a contractor bond complaint in Washington state. Communicating with Mr. Alexander put me at ease; knowing that I was foll...owing the right steps with my case. Thank you!

I started a land investment company in 2001 that invests in tax foreclosure sales across the western USA. I needed someone to teach me the laws and called several attorneys before I found anyone who was even willing to sit down and talk to me. He is extremely knowledgeable and willing to assist. And ...when I say extremely knowledgeable I really mean it. I've never met anyone more knowledgeable about real estate laws! I have bought and sold thousands of properties and occasionally I do come across complex situations. His advice has always been 100% correct and it has kept me out of ever having to be in a courtroom. He has assisted me with advice on things like liens against properties, squatters, the contracts and deeds I use to buy/sell properties, and foreclosure laws. He thinks outside the box and likes to quote statutes and reference law cases! He answers his phone! I appreciate the fact that I met Sean when I was just starting out. His advice has led me down many right roads and saved me tons of money! And he's a nice guy!
