Report
Shawn Patenaude is a very good lawyer. He has helped with sales and purchases. Shawn helped enormously with our family farm transition plan (a difficult project to tackle) which included incorporation, transitioning the farm, wills, POA, health directives. Shawn is very easy to talk to and listens well to all concerns. He brings other concerns to the table and makes excellent recommendations. Thank you! HIGHLY recommended! Also if it is not his expertise, he will recommend a lawyer to work with you. All inclusive lawyer.

Through my work I've dealt with countless lawyers throughout Saskatchewan. Shawn is exceptional at his profession and a pleasure to work with. I've dealt with other legal firms in Yorkton and trust me; you can skip them and go straight to the Patenaude office.
