On July 3rd, attorneys across Texas stood united in a powerful annual tradition — reading the Declaration of Independence aloud on the steps of their local courthouses. Among them was Attorney Alex Scharff of The Law Office of Shawn C. Brown, P.C., who proudly joined fellow members of the San Antonio Criminal Defense Lawyers Association for the event.
This moment wasn’t just about tradition — it was a reflection of the values that continue to guide the work of dedicated defense attorneys today.
The Declaration’s powerful language — especially the section outlining the injustices imposed by the British Crown — remains a striking reminder of the importance of due process, personal liberty, and equal justice under the law.
As criminal defense attorneys, the team at The Law Office of Shawn C. Brown is deeply committed to protecting these core American ideals every day. The event served as a timely reminder of why this work matters, especially during a holiday meant to celebrate our nation’s freedom.
This Fourth of July, everyone is encouraged to take a moment to read or re-read the Declaration of Independence — particularly the parts that remain so relevant today. They serve as a reminder of the critical role legal advocates play in standing up for the rights of all citizens.
⚖️ Happy Independence Day from all of us at The Law Office of Shawn C. Brown, P.C.
