About the 2026 ELA Awards
The ELA Awards recognize law firms across the United States for the quality of their work and the way they serve clients. Honorees stand out for focused experience in their practice areas, responsive client service, professional conduct, and commitment to the communities they serve.
Why Yesner Law Earned the Recognition
Yesner Law is a Clearwater, Florida law firm focused on bankruptcy and real estate, serving Tampa and Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk and Manatee counties. Founder Shawn M. Yesner has practiced law since 1998 and began as an associate attorney at a large Florida lender foreclosure firm, representing lenders including Freddie Mac, the VA, Chase and Countrywide, before forming his own firm in 2004 and later founding Yesner Law. The firm handles Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy, debt alternatives such as loan modification, debt settlement, deed in lieu of foreclosure, debt lawsuit defense and creditor harassment, and foreclosure defense, along with commercial real estate, construction liens, landlord representation, mortgage and foreclosure creditor representation and short sales.
Having represented thousands of consumers, lenders and investors, the firm works on both sides of foreclosure and bankruptcy matters. Clients work directly with Shawn Yesner at every step rather than being passed to associates or staff, and initial consultations are free.
What the Award Means for Clients
People dealing with overwhelming debt often have little to go on beyond a website and a few reviews. Recognition in the 2026 ELA Awards gives them one more reason for confidence that Yesner Law takes its work and its clients seriously.
