Shawna Forbes-King

As the daughter of a teacher and a nurse, helping others was instilled in me from the time I was born. I did not know then that I would become a lawyer, but it soon became clear that a career in law was the right fit and my opportunity to contribute to my community. While in law school, I started working at a firm that represented families suffering from the devastating results of mesothelioma. I knew then that I had found what I was meant to do, help to obtain justice for those suffering as a result of corporations putting profit before the safety of their products. I continued this work when I became an attorney in 2011. As an attorney, I have always worked on behalf of those injured by the decisions and actions of corporations and that has been my motivation.
