Chris Loebsack

Managing Principal

As the Founder and Managing Principal of Loebsack & Brownlee, PLLC, I specialize in eviction and legal services for property management companies across the Southeast.

I’m a proud Clemson Tiger and a graduate of Duke University Law School. I have been named to the NC Super Lawyers list for the last 10 years, have been a NC Certified Mediator since 2009, and am a frequent industry speaker at NAA and IMN conferences. Most notably, I am a 2025 inductee into the NAA Hall of Fame and a recipient of the GCAA Lex Marsh Award.

I also serve on the executive boards of the Wilmington Apartment Association (WAA), Greater Charlotte Apartment Association (GCAA), and the Apartment Association of North Carolina (AANC). I’m a current co-chair of the NC Rental Home Council’s Legal Committee and have served as past chair of the Clemson Humanities Advancement Board since 2015.

Shanae Auguste

Partner

I’m a Partner at Loebsack & Brownlee, now practicing in Virginia. I love helping clients navigate legal challenges, especially in landlord-tenant law, while making the process transparent, manageable, and as stress-free as possible.

I’m a proud Tarheel and earned my Bachelor’s in Journalism from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and my Juris Doctor from Charlotte School of Law. My background in Journalism has proven to be invaluable in my legal career because I believe clear, honest communication is the foundation of every strong team and client relationship.

I joined Loebsack & Brownlee in 2014 as a North Carolina Associate Attorney, became a Partner in 2020, and in 2024, I took on a new chapter as a Partner in Virginia. Along the way, I’ve led teams, guided clients through eviction proceedings, compliance matters, and negotiations.

When I’m not working, I enjoy woodworking, gardening, traveling, and reading.

Hans Dara

Supervising Partner

I’m a Supervising Partner at Loebsack & Brownlee, PLLC, serving clients throughout Georgia and previously North Carolina. With over a decade of experience in the multifamily housing industry, I represent property management companies, helping them navigate complex legal and regulatory matters with clarity and confidence.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in History from Montreat College and my Juris Doctor degree from the Charlotte School of Law.

I’m an active member of the Atlanta Apartment Association (AAA), the Apartment Association of Greater Augusta (AAGA), the Coastal Georgia Apartment Association (CGAA), and the Mid Georgia Apartment Association (MGAA). I was honored to be named to the Super Lawyers “Rising Stars” list in 2022 and 2023.

Beyond practicing law, I’m passionate about education and teach classes across Georgia. I also stay actively engaged in the industry by attending conferences and tradeshows, fostering strong connections within the multifamily industry.

When I’m not in court, at the office, or traveling for industry events, I’m usually outdoors or spending quality time with family.

Jessica Lineberry

Partner

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from Bluefield University and my Juris Doctor from Charlotte School of Law. I’ve been part of the Loebsack & Brownlee team for over a decade, starting as an Associate Attorney in 2015, and I’m now proud to serve as a South Carolina Partner at the firm. I am licensed to practice in North Carolina and South Carolina.

Before attending law school, I spent two years in law enforcement, but I realized my talents would be best used on the lawyer side. Over the years, I’ve enjoyed the opportunity to travel and teach on various legal topics, particularly those related to evictions.

When I’m not practicing law, I stay busy pursuing my passion for performing. I work professionally as an actor and circus performer, specializing in aerial arts and fire-eating.

Michael Harrington

Partner

I’m a proud United States Air Force and Air Force Reserve veteran and a graduate of the University of North Carolina. I attended law school at the Charleston School of Law, and I have been practicing law since graduating in 2011. I am a Partner at Loebsack & Brownlee, PLLC, where I have worked since 2020.

I was admitted to practice before the South Carolina bar and the United States Supreme Court, am accredited to represent clients before the Department of Veterans Affairs, and I’m a state-certified Family and Probate court mediator and a member of the Charleston County Bar Association. In 2018, I graduated from the South Carolina Bar Leadership Academy.

I am actively involved in the apartment industry as a member of the Charleston Apartment Association (CAA), where I completed the LEAD program in 2024; the Upper State Apartment Association (USAA), where I graduated from the Leadership Lyceum in 2025; and the Myrtle Beach Apartment Association (MBAA).

Although I’m not a native of the South Carolina Low Country, I’ve proudly called it home on and off since 1995.
