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!!!!

Outstanding Service Provided

Richard Shaw is a top notch professional. The services he provided were impeccable. He returned all phone calls promptly and answered all of my questions while also offering informed suggestions that benefitted me greatly before we when before the judge. He was willing to travel and provided a very ...fair price to come to court outside the Buffalo area. He was very friendly and intentive to all the details provided in regards to my defense. Though I was quite worried about the outcome of my case, his understanding of my charges and ability to state a positive spin on the situation was quite a relief. The verdict was basically exactly what he expected and i couldn’t be more happy with how things turned out. Look no further, this is the man you want in your corner if you have legal issues. 10/10 review... thanks again, Mr. Shaw.

Anything is possible

Mr. Shaw made the so called impossible, actually possible. I was being charged with a Felony and figured my life was ruined by a criminal record that would never go away. However, with Mr. Shaw's knowledge and willingness to fight for his customers I ended up with a disorderly conduct charge and I ...am now able to move forward with my life. He is definitely the one you want by your side when in trouble with the law.

Excellent lawyer!

Richard shaw is an amazing lawyer! I recommend him to anyone that has any court cases in his area of expertise. I had hired Richard Shaw a few times. The first time, years ago a friend I was with was shoplifting and I had no idea. After I cashed out & paid for my things I was taken with my friend and... arrested for shoplifting since we walked out of the store together. I hired Mr. Shaw and he got all my charges dropped and off my record. A few months ago I had a bench warrant for not paying my fine, and also for not completing 75 hours of community service that I was supposed to pay and complete over a year ago. Not a good situation seeing as it has been so long and judges hate that! I again hired Mr. Shaw he called the detective that put the warrant out for me and arranged a date that was good for myself to go turn myself in. He met me at the police station, and waited in the court room for me. I got off with only a fine and a few hours of community service. I'll be honest I should have been arrested and I should have either went to jail or post bail and get a much worse punishment! Richard Shaw is the best! I know many people who have used him and they all said amazing things! If your looking for a great lawyer who is good at what he does you found him!
