Shaun Capps has built a reputation as a trusted advocate and a sought-after speaker at workshops and national conferences. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in English and History from the University of Mississippi and Juris Doctor at the Birmingham School of Law. During his time in law school, Shaun made significant contributions in the Lien Unit for The University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital, recovering millions of dollars from third parties. He furthered his legal acumen with a clerkship in the Domestic Relations Division of the Alabama Tenth Judicial Circuit in Jefferson County. Shaun’s talents as a negotiator caught the attention of Alexander Shunnarah, Owner, and CEO of Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys, where he has worked since 2015. For three years prior to passing the Alabama Bar, Shaun served as Mr. Shunnarah’s personal Case Manager, showcasing his unwavering dedication to the pursuit of justice. In early 2023, Shaun founded Shaun Capps Injury Law, where he leads a dedicated team committed to securing the best possible outcomes for their clients. He also serves as Of Counsel for Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys, expanding his expertise to a broader range of cases. Beyond his professional achievements, Shaun is deeply committed to pro bono work, providing access to justice for those who may not afford private legal services. He conducts free legal aid workshops and volunteers with several churches and non-profit ministries nationwide, ensuring fairness and equal representation for all. He is co-author of Empathy and Understanding in Business with Chris Voss which achieved best-seller status. When not advocating for his clients, Shaun treasures spending quality time with his family, including his wife, Olya, and their children, Solomiya, Roman, and Katarina. As active members of Christian Life Church in Hoover, Alabama, the Capps family passionately supports widow, orphan, and adoption ministries.
