Shawn's Client Testimonials
Powerhouse attorney Shawn Brown far surpasses any attorney in town. Shawn was highly recommended me years back for a 2nd DWI and was very pleased with the results. No jail time. This past year I had a serious work related injury ( broken femur) and called Shawn from the hospital. Immediately his amazing tean Rosie and Gina got the ball rolling. Their level of professionalism and compassion exceeded my expectations. They took care of everything and their main concern was my health and well being. They handled all the paperwork and stress and the end result was a large settlement. Thanks to Shawn Brown and his teams’s dedication and knowledge I am happily back to work. He truly is a jack of all trades.

Case dismissed Shawn was great in helping me get my case dismissed. There was missing video evidence from the arresting officer and other indiscretions on his police report. Shawn and his team filed a motion of spoliation of exculpatory evidence and the motion was granted. The case that Shawn argued in front of the judge was undeniable. I couldn't have had a better outcome. Thank you, Shawn, for all your hard work.

Best lawyer in town I have hired Shawn Brown with multiple cases. Not only did he get my disorderly discharge of a weapon dismissed he helped me get into veteran’s treatment court. He represents veterans too! Most amazing attorney I know, will never use anyone else.
Best lawyer in town Shawn is the Best lawyer! I highly recommend Shawn Brown as your lawyer. He is extremely knowledgeable of the law and comes to court prepared to WIN! I was thoroughly impressed with his skills in the court room. He was understanding of my issues, what he needed to present in court and the outcome we needed. I wouldn't hire any other lawyer EVER! He is the BEST!

Brown is a family man, has many years of experience, and truly understands his clients and the position they are in. Words cannot express Mr. Brown's impressive abilities in and out of the courtroom. Extremely satisfied with his firm and representation throughout the years.
Best lawyers in san antonio! Cant say good enough things, beaten all my cases and has handled other matters for me as well. They go above and beyond!
Tough as nails & won't back down!!! I would first like to say that this is BEST criminal defense law firm in San Antonio! I highly recommend Shawn C. Brown and the rest of his legal team to represent any of my family and friends! Shawn, Bryan, Adrian & Daphne worked diligently & hard on my case which resulted in a DISMISSAL! The knowledge of law that this firm has made me feel confident in going into "battle" so to say against the prosecutors. All in all, I am extremely satisfied with the ending result!
Hands down, one of the BEST IN SA!! OK, let me start by saying Shawn is a good friend that I went to high school with here in SA....that being said, I am giving him a completely unbiased review because he did such a damn good job on my case. After getting charged with a first DWI, I interviewed several attorneys & decided on Shawn...just had a good feeling. In addition, having many good lawyer friends, they ALL had glowing things to say about him. I am quite familiar with lawyers with respect to the civil law arena & one thing I can tell you is many of them are flat out LAZY!! They love to take their money up front and don't do s***....that's not Shawn at all! In fact, he enjoys the battle going up against the opposition/prosecution...no lie! The problem with most lawyers once again is they like to pressure you to take the first deal the DA offers to get the case off their plate...not Shawn, he wants to WIN! After 2 years of back & forth...continuances, miscellaneous hearings, etc...he set it for trial. After conducting some thorough pre-trial discovery (which a lot of lawyers don't do) he was able to poke several holes in the DA's case. Then one day, right before trial was coming up, the judge said, "DA, you better get us the discovery the defendant has requested or this case is done!" The day came & they were not prepared....CASE DISMISSED folks! He's a bad ass lawyer guys, do yourself a favor a hire him, you won't regret it!
BEST LAWYER HANDS DOWN Shawn has never disappointed. He proves himself beyond excelence and very strong when handling my case. He took my dwi case and dealt with my federal probation recocation and made me feel at ease knowing he had both cases under his power. He got me off from my revocation on federal probation and got my dwi dismissed. I wouldn’t go to any other lawyer and I wouldn’t refer anyone else but the best. Shawn has proven to be the best I’ve seen.
Trust no one but the best. These guys got me through a really tough spot. In the end, the case was dismissed. Adrian was my guy through the whole thing. Thank you so much to the whole team.
Amazing Attorney I was recommended to contact Shawn Brown over an alleged charge. He took command and got it shot down within a short amount of time. Amazing attorney. I truly was blown away by his tenacity and ability to "save" me from this "alleged" charge. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. If you want a fighter who doesn't play around when it comes to someone's career and livelihood, this is by far the attorney you want on your side!
Professional and Experienced Mr. Brown and his staff are always very professional and were very knowledgeable. I will definitely be recommending Mr. Brown to all my friends and family.
One of the few honest attorneys left Hired for a misdemeanor case. He was affordable and very effective. I highly recommend his firm. Travis is very professional as well
Excellence Shawn, Travis, and Adrian were always there to answer any questions I had. Very straightforward and always professional. The rest of Shawn's staff was also very pleasant to deal with. I never had any issue communicating with Shawn as he was always very responsive. If he could not speak to me at the moment Travis or Adrian were always there to help. In court, Shawn was always well spoken, confident, prepared, and respected. I would recommend Shawn Brown to my friends and family anytime without a doubt.
