Shawn was born and raised in McAllen, Texas, where there are many Spanish speakers, and she was fortunate to become fluent in Spanish. After graduating from McAllen High School in 2000, she began college at Texas A&M University; though, like many young people, she hadn’t yet found her career path. Facing some personal challenges, Shawn took time off and returned home to the Valley.

In 2003, Shawn was hired as a legal assistant at a plaintiff personal injury firm in McAllen, where she discovered her passion for helping injured clients. She resumed her studies while working and earned her BA in Communication Journalism from The University of Texas Pan American (now UTRGV) in 2007.

In 2008, Shawn joined Farmers Insurance as a bodily injury claims representative, and then in 2010, began attending law school at St. Mary’s University in the evenings. She graduated in 2013 and became licensed to practice law in 2014. Over her 10 years with Farmers, Shawn transitioned from adjuster to defense attorney but became disillusioned with the insurance industry’s prioritization of its own interests over their insureds who were her clients.

In 2018, Shawn joined FVF Law, where she fought for injured clients, securing settlements for nearly 150 people, including several six-figure and maximum insurance settlements. In 2024, Shawn founded Shawn Frazier Law, where she continues her mission of providing top-notch personal injury representation to the people of Austin and surrounding communities, including Round Rock, where she lives.
