Shawn earned his J.D. from the University of Houston Law Center in 2001, where he competed on interscholastic moot court and mock trial teams, served as a judicial extern in the Southern District of Texas, and co-founded the law school’s Cyberlaw Society. Since 2002, he has served as principal of his own litigation practice and has held trial attorney positions at several of the largest personal injury firms in the state.
His case experience spans catastrophic injury, workplace incidents, premises liability, pharmaceutical litigation, and complex business disputes—including a 2024 directed verdict in a business partnership case. He has tried numerous cases to verdict as lead counsel, conducted hundreds of depositions and mediations, and mentored younger attorneys across firms. Before law school, Shawn worked in the Texas Legislature and was instrumental in community-led environmental justice victories and public transparency reforms.
He is admitted to practice in all Texas state courts and the U.S. District Courts for the Northern and Eastern Districts of Texas.
Shawn’s commitment to advocacy goes beyond the courtroom. As a legislative aide in the Texas House of Representatives, he helped lead successful grassroots campaigns for environmental cleanup, school safety, and government transparency. For nearly two decades, he volunteered as a legislative advocate for the Texas Trial Lawyers Association, working to preserve consumer rights and access to justice during every regular legislative session but three since 2003. He has also provided extensive pro bono legal support to low-income families, earning awards for his commitment to public service and legal access.
