I hired Shawn McDermott to represent me when an insurance company stopped paying my long term disability. Shawn was helpful, competent, kind, understanding, astute and tenacious. He explained my options well and was fair. With his help and excellent team we reached a mutually agreeable settlement. Highly recommended.
