"Shawn's combination of legal experience, intelligence, and work ethic make him ideal to serve as arbitrator. He arbitrated an extremely contentious case for me and another local attorney recently and his approach was helpful in ensuring the proceedings were conducted in an efficient manner. Shawn treated both sides fairly and applied the law without prejudice as a good arbitrator should. Shawn was very well prepared at each stage of the proceedings and he got his decision to the parties quickly once the hearing concluded. I highly recommend Shawn as an arbitrator [and attorney]."

Constitutional lawyer | Feb 21

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. We worked together on a number of projects designed to impact public policy and encourage passage of legislation for the public good. We worked on petition drives together including a law designed to require performance audits to assess the waste, fraud and abuse in Washington state government. Shawn was a powerful ally in many of these efforts as a result of his outstanding work and experience as an attorney for the Washington State Senate and for Evergreen State College. I have had the opportunity to meet a number of Shawn's clients over the years, and without exception, this have been satisfied with his going above and beyond any reasonable standard of legal representation expectations to accomplish the best possible result for his clients. Shawn has appeared before the Washington Supreme Court and many believe he would make an excellent Supreme Court Justice. I offer my recommendation of Shawn to anyone seeking legal counsel in his areas of expertise."

Of course, his track record speaks for itself--but beyond that, when I approached him in regards to a matter of profound concern, not only to myself but to a number of other lawyers in the community, he gave generously of his time, and I was impressed with his ready knowledge and perspicacity. All in all, a credit to his profession, a servant to worthy causes."
