Shawn is one of those rare lawyers who meets both the “great guy” and “excellent lawyer” tests, which are usually thought of as being mutually exclusive. Shawn has a real expertise in maritime law, especially on the tricky insurance coverage end. I have heard him lecture at SEALI, which was well received. I just hope he doesn’t open an office here.

Having worked with Shawn in a leadership capacity for a large non-profit organization, I can speak highly of his leadership skills, integrity, and fiscal responsibility. He was comfortable dealing with tough subjects in both large and small audience settings, and always had the most convincing position when required to make tough decisions regarding money.

Shawn did excellent work assisting us with a complex multi-million dollar international shipping dispute. His contributions and advice contributed to a very favorable outcome. I recommend Shawn without hesitation.

I have worked with Shawn on several cases, including maritime personal injury and property damage concerns. He is extremely hard working, very knowledgeable and achieves excellent results. I highly recommend Shawn for any admiralty issue you may have.

Shawn did a great job as outside counsel on Kinder Morgan litigation matters. He brings a blend of meaningful experience, knowledge, practicality, and humor, making working with him a great experience for an in house lawyer.
