Extensive Experience

Over the years, Shawn has met and worked with some of the most famous lawyers in American history, including Richard “Racehorse” Haynes, Morris Dees, Joe Jamail, and Johnnie Cochran. As a civil rights lawyer, Shawn consecutively represented three Black men in Brazoria County, achieving remarkable outcomes in their cases despite significant backlash and adversity.
