I was extremely impressed and thankful to have been represented by Mr. O'Neil! I was injured in a car accident and had a tbi I could not have represented myself. Mr. O'Neil picked up what I was trying to communicate and stood firm with the insurance companies to get me help. I cannot express enough what a thorough explanation of each step he provided to me. Mr. O'Neil constantly kept in touch with me and responded quickly with kindness any time I had questions. You will not be disappointed with Mr. O'Neil representing you.

I was very fortunate to have Shawn O’Neil as my attorney. He came highly recommended. Shawn is the type of lawyer everyone should have on their legal matter especially if the case may end up in court. Shawn is extremely experienced, diligent, and compassionate when protecting his client’s civil rights and legal interests. He strategically plans each and every step of the representation while always two steps ahead of the opposing party’s attorney. He is hardworking, responsive to his client’s questions, always prepared, and very accessible. Shawn zealously represents his clients with a high degree of professionalism and integrity. When he is not advocating for his clients, he is advocating for our community especially in diversity and inclusion, economic resources for the disadvantage, and petroleum pipeline safety. Shawn does all this while maintaining a strong sense of humility, and kindness. I highly recommend Shawn O’Neil for your legal representation needs.

I was recently represented by Shawn Michael Oneil on an Auto accident Case. My case was a difficult one at best. However, I can personally attest to the fact that this attorney went to all lengths to get me the most money and go above and beyond, equal but not limited to, what his status as an Attorney holds. This man is diligent and highly aggressive in a firm but professional manner. Mr. Oneil has many years of experience and when he expresses these claims of experience, though impressive, they pale in comparison to his actual abilities to far exceed the expected outcome of these qualifications. In conclusion this is a "one of a kind" Attorney that has gone above and beyond on a personal as well as a professional level for me and my family. I highly recommend him as a number one, top choice!!

I hired Shawn to deal with a belligerent neighbor who had damaged some of my real property and refused to reasonably negotiate directly with me. Shawn stepped in, immediately go their attention with his knowledgeable, forthright and precise manner. They knew he was all business. Within weeks, not months, the dispute was resolved totally in my favor. Shawn's fees were reasonable. He was always available to take my calls. And because of his diligence, I recovered all actual damages...whereas my own efforts only generated more conflict.
