Shawn Hairston | Miami Accident & Injury Lawyer

An avid traveler and former NCAA football scholarship athlete, Shawn Hairston came to Miami to launch his legal career — and brought two educations with him: the discipline of the football field, and a Capitol Hill staffer's understanding of how power actually moves.

As a former defense attorney, he brings firsthand knowledge from the other side of the courtroom. That experience shapes how he defends: he knows how cases are built, because he has built them — and he knows where they come apart.

Today his private practice runs through Lawyer With Locs: criminal defense in Washington, D.C. and Florida, and NIL and agent advisory work for athletes who are living the scholarship life he once lived. The Capitol Hill years still inform how he reads power, process, and leverage in every room he walks into.

The locs are not a costume, and neither is the advocacy. It is the same person in every room: prepared, direct, and on your side.
