Susan Mah-Leung

I had the pleasure of working with Shawn on the Board of JFJ for a few years. She has an eye for detail, is committed and strives to seal the deal. I would unreservedly recommend her.

Dominic Ali

Shawn Wilkinson is an absolute joy to work with. Her commitment and passion to use the law to protect vulnerable citizens, and unwavering love of life, are inspiring to be around. She is meticulous in her research and won't back down from an injustice. I highly recommend her!
