Shawn Overbey, a partner at Heath, Overbey, Verser & Old, P.L.C., has
a natural passion for litigation. He understands that people are often
overwhelmed when confronted with serious legal issues, which is why he
has adopted the philosophy that both candor and compassion should be at
the forefront of his practice. This has allowed him to assist thousands
of clients with a wide range of legal matters.
Mr. Overbey is also a member of the United States Army Reserve. Having
spent 26 years in the military, he has worked in a myriad of units—ranging
from JAG to basic training units. While he has received numerous awards
over the span of his career, he was most proud to receive the Douglas
MacArthur Leadership Award. This award is only given to the top six officers
in the U.S. Army Reserve.
Shawn is also active in his church, where he currently serves as the co-chair
of the Christian Education Department. He applies the Golden Rule of “do
unto others as you would have them do unto you” in all aspects of
his life—including in the way that he treats his clients. He is
also an avid sports fan, and enjoys coaching youth basketball teams in
his spare time.
