Some people are just easy to root for. Shaun Stallworth is one of them.
Originally from the New Orleans area, Shaun came to Kansas City to attend University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law and has built a career around advocating for people who have been wronged.
After several years representing large companies on the defense side, Shaun made the move to representing individuals — bringing the valuable perspective he gained from his years on the other side of the courtroom and a whole lot of dedication to his clients at Holman Schiavone, LLC.
That commitment to advocacy has led to some meaningful work. Most recently, Shaun represented a plaintiff in a 2025 employment discrimination case against Children’s Mercy Hospital that resulted in a jury verdict for the plaintiff.
But what we love most about Shaun isn’t just what he does as an attorney. He’s genuinely one of those people who makes the legal community better by being part of it. He’s kind, generous with his time and passionate about helping others — whether that means advocating for a client, mentoring future lawyers or giving back to the profession.
While at UMKC, Shaun helped create a scholarship for students of color and later served as president of the County Bar Association. He’s also been recognized with the KCMBA Distinguished Counselor Award in 2020, which honors professionalism, collegiality, courtesy, character and friendship—and honestly, we can’t think of a better description.
Shaun, we’re so glad you’re part of KCMBA. Thank you for everything you do for your clients, your colleagues and our legal community. 💙
