For over twenty years, Shawn Mills has seen that the average defendant does not get an attorney who explains both the law and the case to them. They are often told to plead "guilty" without fanfare. We believe in client education and not client dictation.

Shawn Mills saved my son’s life. My idiot 18 year old kid got drunk and tried to carjack a vehicle. He was so drunk and it was so unlike him. Shawn was able to get the multiple felony charges reduced to a single misdemeanor and my son did a weekend of community service instead of prison and a life ruined. Our family owes him a great debt!
