Shane Michael Boasberg | Attorney

Shane M. Boasberg was born and raised in New Orleans, LA, and moved to the Lone Star State to attend The University of Texas at Austin, TX. After receiving undergraduate degrees in Government and Business from the University of Texas at Austin, TX, Mr. Boasberg attended South Texas College of Law in Houston, TX. While attending law school, Shane worked as a law clerk for the prestigious law firm of Gallagher, Lewis, Downey, and Kim. During this time, he gained experience in legal and appellate research and writing, and in trial preparation, working on the largest commercial litigation settlements recorded in United States jurisprudence.

Shane graduated from South Texas College of Law in 2002 and immediately made an impact in the legal field. He began his career at Heard, Robins, Cloud, Lubel, and Greenwood LLP in Houston, and in 2003, he returned to Austin, TX, to serve as General Counsel to the Honorable Senator Mario Gallegos at the Texas Senate. In this role, Shane’s legal acumen and drafting skills were put to the test as he provided legal advice, prepared opinions, bill analyses, briefs, and drafted bills and amendments for legislative consideration, serving the citizens of Texas with distinction.

Following his tenure with Senator Gallegos, Shane worked for the Texas Office of the Attorney General under Greg Abbott, where he addressed a range of legal and political issues.  Shane represented TxDOT in litigating and resolving contractual, construction, licensing, and engineering disputes in the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH). Shane gained valuable experience at the TX-OAG, where he learned about and worked on various legal and political issues, including transportation, employment, environmental, and eminent domain law.  While working for the Texas Attorney General, Shane also served as the Legislative Liaison between the Texas Attorney General – Transportation Division and the Texas Legislature.

After working with the Texas Legislature and for the OAG-Texas, Shane re-entered private practice in 2010 and opened his law firm in Austin, TX. He has handled almost every type of civil case at some point in his career, but primarily focuses his practice on civil litigation, whether in business and commercial law, real estate and eminent domain law, family law, or injury law.  Shane actively engages with the community and is a member of the Texas State Bar, the Austin Bar Association, and the Capitol Area Trial Lawyers Association.
