I’ve known Shawn for about 20 years. He has been a local bar leader, particularly with organizing legal education events that are mandatory for us lawyers. Shawn has a reputation for his hilarious Business Law lectures at St. Martin’s University, where he’s been an adjunct professor for many years. Shawn’s commitment to zealously represent his clients is legendary. For example, he represented an owner of a sports bar who did not believe the indoor smoking ban was fair or legal. Shawn’s is dogged defense of Frankie, the owner, continued even though client actively broke the law by allowing smoking in his “private club.” The State wasn’t having any of it and closed down the bar. It’s not always easy to represent folks who deliberately violate the law. These clients are some of the most challenging, as they basically believe their individual rights trump the citizens’ rights to health and safety. Frankie died not long ago, perhaps because his right to smoke killed him. Shawn Newman is a very bright and creative attorney. He is fearless, thorough and will work until “the last dog dies.” I am honored to be a friend of his.

Shawn Newman helped me work out a conflict with my employer. He reviewed relevant documents and helped me interpret the key issues and concerns to address. His prompt correspondence was reassuring and his advice was sound. Working with him gave me confidence.

I have known Shawn for several years and just had an arbitration with him where he was excellent. Shawn identified the issues, and provided the parties with some worthwhile communication prior to the arbitration that made the arbitration much more efficient and effective. Shawn did a great job.

Recently, I sought legal advice; lucky for me, I contacted Attorney Shawn T. Newman. Although Shawn didn’t feel the need to represent me, Shawn was extremely helpful directing me to public resources via Consumer Protection websites; both locally and nationally. In addition, Shawn offered other avenues that I hadn’t considered. Shawn was pleasant, understanding and explained things in terms that I could easily understand. I strongly recommend Attorney Shawn T. Newman

After four months of back-and-forth between myself and a private company who would not return my credit of over $8k, I reached out to Mr. Newman for help. Unlike previous experiences, Mr. Newman advised several options I could undertake on my own with the company, before involving him and taking any legal action. His guidance was exceptional and exact; and it worked. It was refreshing to know Mr. Newman is not one to plunge headlong into litigation if it can be avoided. It was also refreshing to have someone to support me in being my own advocate. I highly recommend Mr. Newman.

Shawn Newman provided great legal service when our constitutional rights were violated. He demonstrated his ability to start working immediately, instead of dragging the situation out. Shawn is a no frills attorney who is an advocate for his clients. I’ve recommended Shawn Newman too many people as an attorney. If your legal problems are outside of Shawn’s area of expertise, he’s provided names and resources to help the client solve their problem. Shawn is a proven advocate for his clients, who continues to go the extra mile to help defend his client’s freedoms and legal rights. If you’re in need of a constitutional and civil rights attorney, Shawn is the attorney for you! Marc
