"Shawn Dorward is an unbelievably superb attorney. He came into my life when I needed strong legal guidance, advice and support through a traumatic experience where I felt abandon by the justice system. He treated me with the utmost respect and professionalism as well as empathy and fully prepped me for the hardest battle I have ever endured I my personal life. Shawn allowed me to ask any questions, and was extremely attentive to me as a client while navigating the maze of the court system and many of his other clients as well. His court room presence, ability to connect with all courtroom parties and staff and overall eloquent legal skill set during a trial was more than impressive and impactful on so many levels. I couldn’t recommend a better attorney or human being to help you navigate and fight for what you believe in."

"I had the best experience with Attorney Shawn Dorward representing me, he always got back to me quickly and was always so reassuring and caring for even the smallest questions I had. He made sure he put my mind at ease when I was stressed and explained every detail in a way I could totally understand . He went above and beyond in my case to ensure the best outcome and time was no issue to make sure I got everything done needed before my hearing .. He was not just out for a quick buck like some other attorneys I’ve had in the past, he genuinely cared and went way out of his way to fight for my rights and the absolute best outcome possible.. I cannot end my review without mentioning his wife Heidi , who takes care of all the office responsibilities and paperwork was also so caring and gave me pep talks and reminded me that I have rights too, anytime I was feeling down and having a bad day .. They are the perfect dream team to get the job done !! You cannot go wrong when you make the call to this law firm ! There’s no better!!"
