Shawn helped me win a protective order for domestic violence and a custody case. I was very stressed about the gravity of the whole situation, and Shawn remained level-headed and calm throughout the process. It was reassuring having him on my side and being able to trust him to handle things. His paralegal Jennifer was also great to work with. They were always responsive to phone calls and emails, communicated well, and met court deadlines.

Shawn is a top notch attorney with excellent knowledge of the law. He helped me out of a real bind on short notice. My soon to be ex-wife left the state of Montana with my children and moved in with her mother near Devils Lake. She filed a completely bogus restraining order for domestic violence and abuse, (neither of which ever occurred, at least not at my hand, in our 22 years of marriage) because it was the only way she could shoehorn the divorce case into North Dakota from Montana. I’ve since confirmed that my mother-in-law is friends with the judge, and had my ex been successful in her slanderous endeavor to ruin me, the divorce would have been filed in that judge’s court as well. I’m told that my ex and her mother left their house for the courthouse that afternoon already celebrating their win and bragging that it wouldn’t take any longer than 45 minutes. They returned home over two hours later quite upset with the outcome. If it hadn’t been for Shawn’s knowledge and awesome performance in the courtroom, at a minimum, I would have been restricted from any communication with my kids for at least a year, not to mention having something on my record that would have had a lasting negative impact on my life. Despite the judge giving my ex and her attorney every chance to actually try to formulate a case against me right there in the hearing, he ultimately was left with no choice but to dismiss the order against me. Thanks Shawn, for being just the attorney I needed, when I needed you!

I waited a year to write this review so it would not be influenced by emotion or the outcome of my case. While Shawn is knowledgeable about the law, I would not recommend him as a divorce attorney. A few days before court, he told me he was approaching the case as though we were going to lose, stating that "if we win, it will be a bonus." That comment, combined with last minute attention to key details, did not inspire confidence or reflect strong advocacy at a critical time. After investing approximately $10.000, I did not achieve a meaningful result. If you are seeking a divorce attorney who is proactive, prepared, and fully invested in representing you, I recommend looking elsewhere.

Shawn & team were kind, communicative and very helpful throughout my entire case. They made the process easy to understand, and were informative through every step. Should I ever find myself needing their services again, I will definitely be using them.

Ww were recommended to go to Audrey law firm for our sons guardianship. We had no idea what ww were doing or what we had to do. He explained in detail so we understood. Worked with us every step of the way and treated us with dignity and respect. Very highly recommend

Shawn and his team are great! From the start they treated me with respect and dignity. They answered all my questions and made the process nearly painless. If i ever need representation again, i will not think twice about going back to Shawn!

I would recommend signing a release of information. If you're getting a lawyer to represent say your child in a criminal matter make sure they sign a release of information even if they're an adult. Otherwise it's going to end up not going so well.... Just needed saying.... And another thing I never got a detailed list of a bill. I got a receipt showing I paid $5,000 and then never received an itemized list of what was done in that bill. I've been getting educated and it says that when you get a lawyer they put the retainer and they trust and at the end of that you get an itemized bill. Everyone I've ever talked to has gotten one and is wondering why I have not I'm the one that paid for the lawyer and got nothing from you Shawn. So for that I don't understand where the itemized bill is and what the big secret is. I have asked you numerous times to give me an itemized bill and you have not done that You can do that without disclosing anything on the case. I think maybe what I need to put in here is that there was not $5,000 done in work for me. Maybe $100. I'm done with this review but anybody else reading this just letting you know this was not a good fit for us this time and this is the second time we've used you and it's the second time you've taken money and ran with it.

Response from owner

I am sorry that you feel a 1-star review was warranted in your son’s case. Since your twenty-eight-year-old son was our client and you were not we had a duty to your son to follow his instructions and no duty to you. Your son gave my office specific instructions to not release any discovery/evidence to you and to not talk with you about the specific facts of his case. My office went above and beyond to educate you on the general process of your son’s criminal case (responding to over 140 emails from you and numerous phone calls), but we could not ethically divulge the information that you wanted in the case without your son’s permission. Not only did your son not sign any type of release of information he specifically asked that we do not release any information about the specific facts of the case to you. Per Rule 1.6 of the North Dakota Rules of Professional Conduct “A lawyer shall not reveal information relating to the representation of the client unless the client consents”. At the conclusion of your son’s case your son was very thankful for the work we did on his case and communicated this to my office. We understand at our office the want as a parent to know the details of your child’s case but at the end of the day your son is twenty-eight-years old, and he as an adult and he can decide what information is released to his mother.<br><br>Sincerely Shawn Autrey

Absolutely the best in the area! Works hard to get the best results possible. Very honest and professional. Every question I asked was answered as soon as he could. He did a great job letting me know how things were going and what to expect next. It helped ease the stress of everything just that much more. Really went above and beyond.

Shawn has helped our family twice. Second time after case should have been closed and end results wrapped up. (Failure on the part of the court’s system to be on top of things.) Shawn got us in quickly for initial appointments. Shawn brought calm where we were feeling many different emotions, hope and laid out the steps we needed to take. Most importantly, he ALWAYS returned phone calls or emails.

Sean and Jen helped us in every way with great legal advice and preparation of legal documents in our case. Every question answered and phone calls and emails returned in timely manner. We would highly recommend Sean Autrey Law Firm.

In 2024, I came into issues with a family member who was harassing me on social media. I file a HRO with Minnesota, and hired Shawn to help me navigate this battle I was about to go on, as this was my first ever court case. In July 2024, we went to court, and it was ruled in the other parties favor. But Shawn didn’t give up, he knew that we had a care. We filed a Motion for reconsideration and had Court in November 2024. Today, February of 2025, we were granted the order. The judge did find that in fact we had a case, and Shawn knew exactly what he was talking about. My family will now be safe for at lease the next 2 years! Forever grateful for Shawn and all the hard work he put into our case!

Attorney Autrey was nothing short but amazing. He gave me so much advice and free game before I actually hired him. He was straight forward and upfront about everything. He work wonders. I knew I had a great attorney once I told the judge who my attorney was. The judge also had high regards for him as well. In fact, I am going to indeed hire him again for a separate case I have coming up soon

Shawn was very honest about the case that I had him working on. He fought for my son and I the best way he could. And took the time to get the facts laid out for the judge and the prosecutor...

When I got my first DUI, with other charges. Shawn worked hard to get the other charges dropped. I am so grateful. As I worked with Shawn I learned. He is a level headed, knowledgeable, reliable person, who was my advocate. Shawn always treated me with respect, kindness, and answered any questions I could have. I would recommend Shawn. Thank you, Shawn, for all you did!

I prayed to ask God to help me find a good lawyer/attorney, but he helped me find an honest, great, kind, experienced, knowledgeable, and fair attorney Shawn Autrey! I am so thankful for his expertise and all his help throughout the case. I cannot say enough good things about Shawn. He is amazing, and he has your best interests at heart. Autrey Law firm helped me from the very beginning of the first meeting. He gave me great legal advice even before I hired him. Having to deal with family law is not fun, so it's a huge relief to have someone by your side who knows what they are doing. Jen is also pretty great, and knowledgeable. Thanks for all your help!
