Shawn is a 1982 graduate of Carnegie Mellon University and a 1985 graduate of Duquesne Law School.
In 2006, Shawn had the distinct pleasure of serving the Pennsylvania State House of Representatives (30th District) where he advocated strongly for property tax reform, and tax cuts for small businesses and individuals.
He remains generous with his time having also served on the Allegheny County Library Board and the Pittsburgh Economic Development Board.
He has represented and successfully settled numerous high profile litigation cases in western Pennsylvania including the successful Rankin police brutality suit and potential suits against the NFL.

I am an out of State client, over 1500 miles away, and through the 2 years of work on my case I never met anyone from the firm in person, yet they treated me like I lived down the street from the office.
I am very pleased with the professional teamwork, and their patience and timely responses to my requests and to the task at hand. They did all they could do to help with the difficult facts of my case, and I am pleased with the outcome. I would recommend this law firm to anyone with the assurance they would offer the same quality service to them as they did to me. Thank you Flaherty Fardo, Carole J. Boyd
Couldn't have asked for a better experience. They are a wonderful group who are efficient, patient, communicative and do their job very well.
They kept me in the loop the whole time and were extremely helpful. I have used a different firm in the past and this was like night and day. If you are considering using Flaherty Fardo for your assessment appeal (or likely anything else they practice) then you found what you are looking for. A special thank you to Nicole who spearheaded my case and answered my never-ending questions. Top notch!
"Highly Recommended" just isn't enough praise. They are by far the best I have ever worked with.
Professional, but beyond that their personal touch is exactly what a medical malpractice client or personal injury client needs. Noah Fardo is amazing, but the entire firm were great to us. I honestly can't thank Bill Rogel, Nicole Hauptman Amick, and Jaclyn Gibson enough. Thank you all.
