Shawn E.

Shawn Clark graduated from the University of Florida in Gainesville with a Bachelor’s degree in 2007. He furthered his education at the University of Florida Levin College of Law, earning his Juris Doctor degree in 2011. His academic excellence was recognized when he was inducted into the prestigious Order of the Coif, a national honor society for law graduates ranking in the top 10% of their class.

In 2013, he returned to Gainesville and transitioned his practice to criminal defense. Over the years, Shawn has personally represented thousands of clients facing criminal charges, guiding them through every stage of the legal process—from arrest to trial. His dedication to client advocacy earned him the role of supervisor for the Levy and Gilchrist offices within his firm.

Shawn is admitted to practice in the State of Florida. He actively contributes to the legal community as the current Treasurer of the Marion County Bar Association, as a voting member of the Eighth Judicial Circuit Bar Grievance Committee, and as a pro bono attorney providing free legal services with Community Legal Services of Mid-FL. He is also affiliated with several professional organizations, including the Florida Justice Association, the National Institute for Trial Advocacy, and the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.

Beyond his professional achievements, Shawn values family and community involvement. He enjoys spending time with his wife, Catherine, their two dogs, and their cat. Since 2022, he has proudly served as a mentor in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program.
