More About Shawn Sullivan

First and foremost, Shawn’s faith in Christ and moral values completely line up with those of Will’s. Shawn also brings a unique perspective to Will Parker Law, LLC through his former experience as a youth director and public educator, in addition to many years of defending personal injury lawsuits. Shawn’s motivation to attend law school was to advocate for those in need and he looks forward to advancing the mission of Will Parker Law by exceeding client expectations through anticipation of client needs, professionalism, accessibility, and obtaining results without compromising principles. Shawn and Will both believe God’s hand was involved with the decision for him to join the firm and both are excited to see what God has in store!
