Attorney Profile

Lenore Rae Shefman
Attorney at Law

Lenore is an exceptional attorney, originally from Texas. She is the granddaughter of Benjamin Shefman, attorney at law, and Lillian Shefman. Lenore grew up in Houston and Austin, Texas, mostly around pools. Her father taught her how to test the chemicals, clean, and scrub a pool and her mother taught her how to swim in a pool. As a child Lenore's hair was often green "the cholorine glow" from swimming everyday either for recreation or for swim team. The affinity for water lead her to the Coast Guard where she served for two years on a small boat crew in Sabine Pass, Texas-where the Sabine/Neches Rivers divide Texas and Louisiana. After the Coast Guard and while working on a social work degree in college, Lenore worked with some elderly folks in a geriatric rehabilitation facility providing physical mobility and exercise in... swimming pools. The exercise and mobility work with the elderly somehow lead her to manage swimming pools for the Hunter's Chase Homeowner's Association in Austin. By 1992, Lenore decided to cap all of this swimming pool experience off by becoming certified as a pool operator (CPO).

Lenore relocated to Northern California in 1997. She attended the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law from 1997-2000. She was admitted to the California State Bar on December 4, 2000. Lenore was also admitted to the Northern District of California, Ninth Circuit, and in September 2006 was admitted to the Texas State Bar. Lenore represents plaintiff's in personal injury claims throughout California and Central Texas.

Lenore is a successful trial lawyer and has proven herself before several juries. Lenore has taken on the two biggest names in swimming pools, Anthony/Sylvan and Swan Pools and succeeded against each of them at trial and/or arbitration. Lenore is an excellent public speaker -- confident and creative before a jury. Before building your pool, there are things you should know from swimming pool safety to swimming pool construction and maintenance. We hope our website helps you through some of those areas.

For fun, Lenore enjoys endurance bicycle riding, swimming in rivers, lakes, and Barton Springs, salinated pools or pools that do not require toxic chemicals such as chlorine, snow and wakeboarding and life outdoors.
