He is easy to communicate with, quick to return phone calls, and always puts the interests of his clients first. I never hesitate to refer my clients to him as I know he will take great care of them.

Having an opportunity to become acquainted with and work with a number of attorneys in the Kalamazoo area, I can, without hesitation, say that Attorney Shaun Willis goes above and beyond the call of duty for his clients.

I wanted to write this letter to truly thank you and your office for all that you done for me, and sorry that this is so tardy. What you did for me was a blessing that can never be forgotten and is something that I will hold true for the rest of my life. You [Attorney Shaun P. Willis] are a man of dignity, respect and especially compassion that anyone would look up to. From the first conversation I had with you over the phone and through the entire process you never looked down on what I had done. Your up front and honest approach with me and helped in a way that I thought was ever possible. I never felt looked down upon or less a person. I know that what you did can never be repaid, I just wanted you to know how thankfuld I was to have you as part of my life. I wish that all is great with you in the future and I am a true beliver in karma.
