With a catholic father from New York and an evangelical mother who grew up outside of Houston, Shawn learned to appreciate multiple sides and outlooks early on in life.  He’s not scared of conflict, but rather views it as an opportunity to learn something new.. Shawn’s naturally inclined to help people solve their disagreements before going to war and this mentality serves his family law clients well.  Most families don’t need to hire a warrior who views every encounter as a battle to be won; they need a lawyer who simply sees problems that need to be solved.. A native Texan, Shawn went to Texas A&M University where he double-majored in Political Science and English and also received a minor in History.. Shawn received his JD from South Texas College of Law.  While in law school he taught himself how to play guitar.  His guitar playing skills are very much on par with his singing ability, which is to say: they are both quite mediocre, but he entertains himself and his wife, Lesley, is kind enough to humor him.. After law school, Shawn spent nearly three years as the executive director of a community mediation center.  He is a Rule 31 mediator and has participated in hundreds of mediations.. Lastly, Shawn would like it known that he is issuing a standing offer to mediate, pro bono, whatever disagreement that’s keeping The Civil Wars members John Paul White and Joy Williams from making more music together.  Seriously.
