I conducted many interviews before making the decision to work with Shawn. I familiarized myself with what chapter 7 entailed and most details on how it worked. Many lawyers made up answers to my questions that were not correct according to the law, I felt they were just trying to reel me in. Shawn answered every single question I had precisely and I felt I could work with him even after 15 minutes of talking to him over the phone. I had my doubts with the process since my case was decently complex compared to most, but he alleviated me of all my anxieties throughout the process. I felt like he personally cared about my case and wanted to make sure I was satisfied with the result in a timely manner with no hiccups. I am extremely satisfied with how everything was handled, and will definitely be keeping Shawn on the top of my list for attorney help. -T

I just spent 50 minutes on the phone with Shawn. I have a unique issue in that a tenant died and left property in my building. Shawn looked up civil codes and explained to me how to navigate this tricky situation. He is so knowledgeable, kind and helpful. He then recommended another firm to handle my case. I so appreciate his condor and advice. He went well beyond his normal consultation time. I am so grateful and will definitely reach out to him if and when landlord/tenant issues arise.

I can't say enough great things about this law firm! My family went through the CSLB Arbitration process after our roof was improperly installed by a licensed contractor. They were so wonderful every step of the way and extremely thorough in preparing for the court hearing. They were very professional in the arbitration, and WON the case! Please do not look any further when choosing an attorney, they are the perfect fit for all your legal needs! We will absolutely be repeat customers for all of our personal and business needs! Thank you Huston and McCaffrey team, you're the best!

My name is David. I hired Shawn and Kelly to help me seek damages from a contractor who installed defective materials in my home. After 9 months of being ignored, deceived, and mistreated by the contractor, I decided to pursue legal action. Shawn and Kelly took a proactive and professional approach and initially created a very detailed demand letter citing various legal precedence and legal remedies to attempt to find an out of court settlement. Coupled with claims with the California Contractors State License Board and the contractor’s Bond company, we were not only successful achieving a fair settlement, but I also covered my legal costs and all of the costs to repair my home. There were even enough monies left over to take my wife out for dinner after a year of feeling helpless against a dishonest company. I would also like to disclose that I previously had a disagreement with a tenant who also used Huston/McCaffrey to represent them. I am pleased to say that that tenant and I were able to find a solution. I felt that Kelly and Shawn represented my tenant so well, that if they were good enough for my tenant they were good enough for me. If you can’t beat them, join them. And that’s what I did. Through Huston/McCaffrey I achieved more than I thought would be possible. I highly recommend the services of Huston/McCaffrey, LLP. Thank you Shawn and Kelly. Sincerely, David

Mr. Shawn went out of his way to provide expert opinion on my legal matter involving litigation in court with a neighbor that allows his dog to bark all the time. He responded to multiple questions in a very timely matter, and cited previous similar court cases in details. Thank you!

My case was unusual with those apposing me very adamant about ,their position. The case involved my dog and a conflict with the animal control. He handled the case professionally and had it resolved in 1/2 day.

I met with Shawn to discuss a possible bankruptcy. He recommended a debt negotiation strategy. His fee is very reasonable. He has an excellent command of bankruptcy law and the strategies lenders and debt collection firms use to intimidate and harass borrowers. I found Shawn a reassuring presence during this difficult period. He negotiated all of the debt to a very satisfactory result. Shawn is friendly and personable and I highly recommend him.

We were in a tough situation and Shawn came to the rescue. We needed a TRO and his experience dealing with the court system was the key to getting this done with the minimum time used. Shawn is a caring man and he showed compassion and class for us even though ours was an ugly situation. He filled out a stack of California court forms that would have been impossible for us to do by ourselves without his help. In our case, we had our TRO by the end of the day! It was an amazing experience for us considering what we had to do and we are highly recommending him.

Shawn was such a great mediator between my tenant and myself as the landlord living under one roof. What a stressful situation I was in. Before I met Shawn and I wasn't sleeping or eating. Shawn was able to take control of the situation in less than 24 hours and get a resolution. He also is not one to penny pitch like many other lawyers. I would definitely recommend Shawn!

Shawn was recommend to by by a friend. He did a fantastic job proving that the woman suing me for a dog bite was a con artist and there was no actual dog bite. He we won the case quite easily.

My husband and I hired Shawn to assist us with a potential bankruptcy case. We initially tried to short sale our investment property before acquiring Shawn's help and it went south. When we hired Shawn in the middle of all this, he stepped in and managed to help us hang onto our investment property, avoid filing bankruptcy and re-finance. This wasn't even something we believed we could do before Shawn's help. We had been dealing with the Mortgage company for a year already and Shawn stepped in and saved our property and our sanity. He dealt with a very difficult mortgage company and decreased our anxiety significantly. He kept us informed every step of the way - by text, emails and phone calls. We appreciated his professionalism, competency and ethics. Not only that, Shawn had our back. We were no longer alone in our fight. We have our investment property, great tenants, and a great attorney, should we need one in the future. I have already recommended him to friends and family and I will continue to do so in the future.

I have had Shawn as my attorney on two separate occasions, ten years apart. On the first occasion, Shawn helped me to obtain a restraining order against someone who was harassing me. Shawn is a professional, but what was more impressive at that time, was how compassionate and empathetic he was in dealing with a situation I never thought would happen to me. I really felt like I had the backup I needed to win the battle against this individual. Fast forward ten years later, and I find myself in need of an attorney to help me clean up my financial situation and save my home, Lucky for me, Shawn had returned to San Diego! He (with now partner Kelly McCaffrey) helped me at a moment's notice to stop my home from being sold at auction. The rest of the process took a little longer to handle, but Shawn was there every step of the way. Shawn Huston was my attorney during two of the most stressful times of my life, and helped me get through them both quite a bit better than when we started. To quote The Most Interesting Man in the World, I don't always need an attorney, but when I do, I prefer Shawn P.K. Huston.
