Shawn Roberts - Houston, TX
Shawn Roland Roberts's Bio:
Aggressive and driven but laid back individual who enjoyed much success at an early age as both a trial lawyer and as a sports agent.
Went through a necesary sabbatical, but back now and looking forward to plunging in head first. Passionate about helping young athletes realize their life's dreams and ambitions, and because of the personal trials and tribulations I've experienced, I am able to draw on that and pass it on so that my clients will not make some of the same mistakes I did.
I have been fortunate to represent some of the most popular and legendary football players in Texas history. I hope to continue doing what I am doing because I love this profession.
I also practiced law for over 15 years without ever losing a felony jury trial. I was fortunate to be trained and mentored by the best lawyers to ever live. From Gerry Spence to Richard RaceHorse Haynes, Morris Dees, and many others.
I used the things I was taught to effectively represent the poor, the oppressed, and the damned. However that type of work if done properly is very draining and has to be done in moderation. At this time I am not actively practicing, but I intend to in the near future.
