Brake advice needed

Today after church services I went to lunch with some friends, I parked my van, put the e-brake on and went in to eat, after I left, about 15 minutes driving on the freeway the van steering wheel started shaking hard. I figured it was the pavement, it did stop after a couple minutes, then started to shake again for a few minutes. When I got home, I found my e-brake light was on. I drove just under 30 miles, mostly freeway with the emergency brake on. I believe this must be why I felt some shaking.

I do need an oil change soon, my plan is to take my Caravan to Brake Team tomorrow for the oil change and have them inspect the brakes. So just how much damage can I expect may have been done by leaving the parking brake on for just under 30 minutes of mostly freeway driving?
(funny thing, usually my van will have a hard time getting up to freeway speed with the parking brake on,. Except for a little shaking, It got up to 55 just fine)

Thanks,
Cl8
