With eighteen years in real estate transactions, government and property tax; Shawn provides taxpayers with counsel with a focus on ad valorem property tax matters.

Before joining Ryan Law, Shawn served as a consultant for an international real estate services firm and as the legal advisor for the Shelby County (Memphis) Assessor. He uses his experience in government to help navigate the the entire process of property assessment and taxation.
