Shaun Michael Kelly
FOUNDER
Shaun has been described as an "excellent attorney," "thoughtful," "creative in his approach to problem solving," "highly attentive," and providing "direct, concrete advice", with a "great big picture view."
Shaun has navigated business owners, fiduciaries, and individuals through business, trust, estate, and government-related disputes. Shaun uses his broad experience—including service as the Director of Consumer Protection for the Delaware Department of Justice, as a Special Magistrate appointed by the Court of Chancery, and as a Court-appointed receiver—to find creative solutions to client challenges.
