I have used Shawn Huston on several occasions from house closings to traffic infractions. I have always found him to be very fair, honest and extremely knowledgeable. Mr. Huston takes the time to talk you through your legal situation and makes sure you understand the alternatives of what could happen... good or bad. He's a nice guy, very helpful and can help you navigate the legal system which is hard enough for the average person. I highly recommend his services and his rates are very reasonable compared to other attorney's I have previously used. From what I have observed, he has a good relationship with officers and judges which can't hurt your case either!
I had a client that wanted to sell a property that was part of a bankruptcy and I needed a lawyers help. Shawn met with me and my client and made them feel at ease about the situation. His knowledge and understanding of my clients situation made it possible to successfully navigate the real estate transaction to close in a timely matter and without much stress. I would definitely refer him to another client for legal consultation.
My name is David. I hired Shawn and Kelly to help me seek damages from a contractor who installed defective materials in my home. After 9 months of being ignored, deceived, and mistreated by the contractor, I decided to pursue legal action. Shawn and Kelly took a proactive and professional approach and initially created a very detailed demand letter citing various legal precedence and legal remedies to attempt to find an out of court settlement. Coupled with claims with the California Contractors State License Board and the contractor’s Bond company, we were not only successful achieving a fair settlement, but I also covered my legal costs and all of the costs to repair my home. There were even enough monies left over to take my wife out for dinner after a year of feeling helpless against a dishonest company. I would also like to disclose that I previously had a disagreement with a tenant who also used Huston/McCaffrey to represent them. I am pleased to say that that tenant and I were able to find a solution. I felt that Kelly and Shawn represented my tenant so well, that if they were good enough for my tenant they were good enough for me. If you can’t beat them, join them. And that’s what I did. Through Huston/McCaffrey I achieved more than I thought would be possible. I highly recommend the services of Huston/McCaffrey, LLP. Thank you Shawn and Kelly. Sincerely, David
Mr. Shawn went out of his way to provide expert opinion on my legal matter involving litigation in court with a neighbor that allows his dog to bark all the time. He responded to multiple questions in a very timely matter, and cited previous similar court cases in details. Thank you!
My case was unusual with those apposing me very adamant about ,their position. The case involved my dog and a conflict with the animal control. He handled the case professionally and had it resolved in 1/2 day.
I met with Shawn to discuss a possible bankruptcy. He recommended a debt negotiation strategy. His fee is very reasonable. He has an excellent command of bankruptcy law and the strategies lenders and debt collection firms use to intimidate and harass borrowers. I found Shawn a reassuring presence during this difficult period. He negotiated all of the debt to a very satisfactory result. Shawn is friendly and personable and I highly recommend him.
We were in a tough situation and Shawn came to the rescue. We needed a TRO and his experience dealing with the court system was the key to getting this done with the minimum time used. Shawn is a caring man and he showed compassion and class for us even though ours was an ugly situation. He filled out a stack of California court forms that would have been impossible for us to do by ourselves without his help. In our case, we had our TRO by the end of the day! It was an amazing experience for us considering what we had to do and we are highly recommending him.
Shawn was such a great mediator between my tenant and myself as the landlord living under one roof. What a stressful situation I was in. Before I met Shawn and I wasn't sleeping or eating. Shawn was able to take control of the situation in less than 24 hours and get a resolution. He also is not one to penny pitch like many other lawyers. I would definitely recommend Shawn!
Shawn was recommend to by by a friend. He did a fantastic job proving that the woman suing me for a dog bite was a con artist and there was no actual dog bite. He we won the case quite easily.
My husband and I hired Shawn to assist us with a potential bankruptcy case. We initially tried to short sale our investment property before acquiring Shawn's help and it went south. When we hired Shawn in the middle of all this, he stepped in and managed to help us hang onto our investment property, avoid filing bankruptcy and re-finance. This wasn't even something we believed we could do before Shawn's help. We had been dealing with the Mortgage company for a year already and Shawn stepped in and saved our property and our sanity. He dealt with a very difficult mortgage company and decreased our anxiety significantly. He kept us informed every step of the way - by text, emails and phone calls. We appreciated his professionalism, competency and ethics. Not only that, Shawn had our back. We were no longer alone in our fight. We have our investment property, great tenants, and a great attorney, should we need one in the future. I have already recommended him to friends and family and I will continue to do so in the future.
