About Shauna
Shauna Squires-Tapp began her path in law by completing the academic and professional steps required for practice and gaining admission to the North Carolina bar. She moved from the classroom into courtrooms and conference rooms, building day-to-day experience that shapes how she approaches client matters now. The early years of any lawyer’s career are formative, and hers included steady exposure to the practical demands of representing clients under state rules and procedures.
Her career has taken place in North Carolina. Over time she has worked on matters that required courtroom presence, negotiation, and legal counseling. Those roles taught her to manage case calendars, prepare pleadings, and advise clients on procedural options. She has handled litigation at the trial level and engaged in pretrial strategy, and she has also worked on transactional tasks when the matter called for it. Colleagues describe her work as methodical and pragmatic; she tends to favor clear explanations for clients over legal jargon.
Squires-Tapp’s professional strengths are in translating legal standards into usable guidance for people and organizations that need help making decisions. She prepares courtroom filings, argues motions, and meets with opposing counsel when settlement talks make sense. In other settings she drafts agreements, reviews contracts, and conducts factual and legal research to support client positions. Her approach is practical: identify the issue, outline options, and move toward resolution by the most efficient lawful means available.
She practices from the Law Office of Peace & Squires, PLLC. At the firm she manages client matters from intake to resolution, directing investigations, drafting documentation, and representing clients in hearings and trials when required. The office handles a range of state-law matters, and she collaborates with other lawyers and staff to match resources to case needs. Her workload includes advising clients about procedural choices and preparing them for what to expect during litigation or administrative proceedings.
Outside the immediate demands of cases, Squires-Tapp stays current on changes in North Carolina law and procedure. That ongoing attention helps her advise clients about shifting rules and possible strategic consequences. She currently practices law in North Carolina from the Law Office of Peace & Squires, PLLC, representing clients in state courts and administrative matters.
