Before he formed SJW, Shawn spent several years handling complex commercial litigation matters. During this time, Shawn’s practice focused primarily on complicated business disputes where he represented a range of businesses across various industries, including multinational computer technology companies and global financial institutions. It was in these large, complex business disputes, where Shawn learned to be a fierce proponent of his clients.

While representing large business, Shawn took on a personal injury case and found he had a passion for representing people who have been hurt due to another’s negligence. Since that time, Shawn has dedicated himself and his practice to providing injured parties the highest quality representation.

Shawn earned his law degree from the William S. Boyd School of Law, where he received multiple scholarships. While attending law school, Shawn was a judicial extern for the Honorable Mike K. Nakagawa of the United States Bankruptcy Court, District of Nevada.
