Read What Clients Are Saying

Many lawyers before Shawn had turned me down when I needed legal advice for an agreement, they told me that they needed months for to review. When I was referred to Shawn, I was worried due to the others lawyer turning me. However, this wasn’t the case! Shawn picked me up as a client, him and Karie were very communicative, replied back at reasonable times and had very flexible schedules when we needed to schedule a zoom call. Shawn was very informative, and did such an amazing job breaking down certain articles in the agreement that were confusing at first glance. I appreciate the transparency Shawn offered when going through the agreement, and bringing a sense of comfort when navigating through the agreement. Thank you so much Shawn and Karie for guiding me through everything, and being proactive!

Great value for money

I recently used Weber Dispute Resolution to settle a divorce dispute and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Shawn Weber was an absolute pleasure to work with – he was ethical, listened well, and was incredibly compassionate throughout the entire process. I can confidently say that his services were great value for money.

Just what I needed for my divorce

Shawn is so wonderful. Seriously, he is the most kind and gentle attorney I have ever known. I was scared going into my divorce. But mediating with my ex husband turned out to be the very best decision I could have made. Shawn was so patient with us. While I wasn’t wild about everything in my agreement, we were able to settle and my ex and I are still friends. It so could have gone the other way! Most importantly, my kids have parents who get along even if we couldn’t stay married. Thank you Shawn Weber for being incredible!

Such a breath of fresh air!

I was so scared going into my divorce. Shawn has a way of making his clients feel secure and safe from the first day. Even though this was very hard emotionally for me, Shawn made it bearable. Shawn was so patient. He listens very well and helped us find a way to settle without using a judge. His staff is wonderful too. I can’t thank him enough and would recommend Shawn to anyone!

Smart and ethical, Mr. Weber is a great lawyer.

I wanted an easy, non-combative divorce although my ex had cheated on me. I did not want my children to experience a bad divorce. I just wanted it over. We called Shawn after getting some recommendations. We interviewed him and he was easy to talk to, did not take sides and explained legal issues well. He was very out front regarding fees. We hired him on the spot. THANK GOODNESS! He was calm even when things got heated or when I became angry and bitter. I was wary that he would take my ex-husband’s side but he was unbiased. Now, 4 years later, I can talk to my ex without feeling I was treated unjustly. Things have worked out well and I thank Shawn for helping me understand my rights and the law and giving good advice. I would absolutely hire him again.

Shawn Weber gets it!

I had a very difficult divorce from my Husband. We had custody issues, support issues, complex financial issues- the works. Shawn was so patient and helpful. He also returned my calls and if he couldn’t call the same day, he would have his office set an appointment for me to connect. His paralegal Jan is incredible too. I had originally hired a so-called shark to handle my case- and that was a mistake. When I hired Shawn, everything went smoothly and we finished our divorce quickly. Shawn’s the real deal. He gets it!
