Excellent Attorney

Richard treated me with dignity and respect on my arrest for a DWI. His solid knowledge and background gave me clear and realistic expectations for my case. I would hire him again if needed.

Very unprofessional

More concerned with money than who's paying him. The man need to he a Public defender, doesnt present proper case evidence or file properly on time. Id NEVERRRR recommend and id suggest ANY person, nor any person namely of COLOR to hire him. Got paid to NOT do his job properly. Horrible. Horrib...le HORRRRIBLEEEEE !!!!

Spot on case analysis and outcome

This was something not expected for us. We had limited time and funds because we were from out of state. Mr Shaw consulted with us and advised us on how to proceed. He didn’t sugar coat anything but gave honest insight on what could occur which Included the best outcome and a possible worse outcome.... He was confident that he could get good results and he did exactly what he shared. In less than 2 hours we were on our way home with charges dropped, a sealed record and at a fraction of the fee other NY lawyers were charging. We are grateful to God for leading us to Mr Shaw and even more grateful for the outcome!

Excellent and experienced lawyer

I hired Mr Richard Shaw on a criminal charge that I was charged with and he proved to be a well knowledgeable and experienced attorney. I was in and out of court cleared that quick. I won't hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Mr. Shaw is AMAZING!!!

Mr. Shaw is hands down the best attorney in WNY! I have had lingering issues for years and even high end, very well advertised attorneys couldn't get done what Mr. Shaw did. His prices were beyond reasonable and he went above and beyond to get resolution, in my favor, for my decades old charge, histo...ry clearing. For certificates of relief from disability he is the ONLY one of the attorneys I had try to resolve this, to actually get it done. I wish I could give a 100 star review!!! Use Mr. Shaw for all of your legal needs, he WILL NOT let you down!! Thank you again Richard for the amazing work!!!!
