About

My undergraduate education at the University of Washington started with a concentration in South Asian Area Studies but I finished with a B.S. in Cell/Molecular Biology. Upon completion of my undergraduate degree I entered a PhD program at the University of New Mexico with an emphasis on evolution and adaptive physiology. I completed my PhD in 1986. Along the way I taught at undergraduate and graduate levels. My research has been published in national and international peer-reviewed journals.Upon returning to Seattle, I entered the University of Washington Law School, earning my J.D. in 1989. While a law student I worked representing low-income individuals in a law clinic and also taught an ecology/natural history class in the UW's Zoology program. In 1989 I joined the Defender Association as a staff attorney. In my years at the Defender Association I represented indigent clients on cases ranging from suspended driver's licenses to homicide. I now work out of my home as a sole practitioner. My low overhead allows me to make a living while keeping my fees within reach of the average person. I enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds. I lived in Thailand for two years and have traveled in Japan, India, and Maylaysia. Teaching in New Mexico, I had students from the Navajo, Hopi, and Zuni tribes. These experiences educated me on the significance of understanding culture and language when working with others. I am LGBT and kink friendly.

Shawn crowley was recommended to us and when we called we immediately liked him. He was detailed and competent in child welfare laws and was able to put our minds at ease concerning the issue. Shawn was very thorough and tenacious in fighting for our rights and was able to get the case dropped due to lack of evidence. We appreciated his loyalty and sense of humor during a very rough period for our family and child. I would definately recommend Shawn to anyone needing a great and dedicated lawyer!

I hired Shawn for a family law issue and he was a likable guy who turned out to be aggresive,knowledgable and dependable. The case got dismissed and he didnt charge me for all the miniscule things like some lawyers do.

When I initially contacted Mr. Crowley and explained my issue, Mr Crowley asked enough questions to make sure he understood my problem. He was very clear about potential solutions and suggested what he considered the best one was. He immediately put me at ease by giving me all of the important information. He did not talk over me or waste my time with legal jargon. At every step of the way, he let me know what was going on either by email or phone, so I never felt lost or overwhelmed. I thought that I would be in court, but he ended up getting my case dismissed. Can't do any better than that. Would hire again and have referred friends with good results. A+
