    Shawn Hillewaert

    Shawn Hillewaert is a family law attorney of The Harris Law Firm in Colorado with a strong commitment to supporting families through complex legal matters.

    Inspired by his mother, who began law school later in life and still practices felony trials at 75, Shawn developed an early appreciation for the legal profession. His own experiences navigating a family divorce and custody battle further motivated him to pursue a legal career. He earned a B.S. in Economics and a B.A. in Spanish from the University of Utah, including a student exchange program at Universidad Regiomontana in Monterrey, Mexico, before attending the University of Wyoming College of Law.

    Before joining The Harris Law Firm, Attorney Hillewaert primarily handled DUI defense and domestic violence cases. In that role, he realized the positive impact legal work can have for a client. For example, standing up for a DUI defendant allowed Shawn to also help people start the path to sobriety. Advising clients through a case and showing them how to move forward in their lives, eventually led Shawn to family law, where he could contribute to the well-being of entire family units.

    Shawn takes a client-centered approach, placing a high priority on clear communication and ensuring his clients feel supported throughout the process, while understanding how emotional and stressful family law cases can be. He recognizes that no two cases are alike, especially when children and property are involved, and he tailors his strategies to each client’s unique circumstances. He encourages perseverance, helps clients focus on the bigger picture, and reassures them that there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

    Shawn is fluent in English and Spanish, allowing him to communicate effectively with clients whose preferred language is Spanish.

    When he is not working on a case, Shawn enjoys spending time with his wife and family and is an avid motorcyclist.

      I worked with three previous firms before I found Steve and Victoria
      “I highly recommend Harris Law Firm, Victoria Mall and Steve Cizik. The service quality was truly exceptional. I worked with three previous firms before I found Steve and Victoria. They were very professional, patient with my concerns and tax issues. Heaven could not have sent me a better Team. Dealing with the IRS can very stressful, but Victoria Mall and Steve Cizik have been a pleasure to work with. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart!!!”

      They are worth their weight in gold for the peace of mind I have had for several years!
      “Steve Cizik and his team, Victoria and Jackie are the BEST! They have brought me down off the ledge of fear of the IRS, and kept me out of the headlights! Steve has a sense of humor, and can always make me laugh out loud.

      They are worth their weight in gold for the peace of mind I have had for several years!

      If you have Steve, Victoria, and Jackie you will have a Champion for all things IRS.
      In fact the whole Harris Firm makes you feel like you have a friend!”

      They were always so professional
      “My husband and I have worked with both Steve Cizik & Jackie Sexson for 10yrs +. We initially worked w/them at another firm & after a bad experience w/ their replacements we "tracked them down" - Thank Goodness ! They were always so professional, easy to work with, explained everything clearly, answered every question and were persistent in helping us towards a successful resolution of our tax liabilities saving us over $140k ! We can sleep at night now ! We highly recommend them to help anyone trying to navigate the stress of tax liabilities.”
