Attorney Ed Shaughnessy: He won the case that other's wouldn't take!

Attorney Shaughnessy is a terrific lawyer! I hired him in 2007 to help me with a medical malpractice case. Other lawyers turned down my case, but after carefully examining the history, Ed decided to take my case. We won our case initially in court, but the defendant appealed the decision. After six y...ears and several appeals, we won. Our winning is due to Ed's persistence, knowledge, and experience. I recommend Attorney Ed Shaughnessy to anyone who is in need of an attorney. He is professional, compassionate and honest. I am glad to have had Ed on my side!

Excellent Legal Representation

Attorney Shaughnessy handled a complex law suit against my former employer. His ability to listen and quickly identify the salient points was excellent, as was his ability to clearly communicate the legal position and options. Ultimately, we were successful in settling the suit due to Attorney Sha...ughnessy's analysis of their responses and motions, strategic filing of motions, and communication and negotiating with their attorney, who happened to be from a very large Philadelphia law firm. I will be sure to hire Attorney Shaughnessy for any of my legal needs in the future.

Outstanding Legal Service from Edward Shaughnessy

While writing my and wife's will Mr. Shaughnessy noticed that I had supplied incorrect information, information that I did not think critical to our estate. Mr. Shaughnessy explained that this certain information was indeed critical and could cause severe problems. We could not thank him enough. Si...nce he is the sole attorney his schedule is almost always filled, but no matter how busy he is he returns our phone calls within an hour (we have heard the same from other of his clients as well). Intelligent, patient, Mr. Shaughnessy is just about the best lawyer you could ask for. Any friends we hear needing legal help we recommend him.

very trustworthy and highly skilled

Mr. Shaughnessy was very knowledgable about car accident law issues and handled everything in an efficient manner. I felt cared for and the result was fantastic. I was very badly injured, and I would recommend him to anyone

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Ed Shaughnessy started working in a law office before he earned his college degree, learning from some of the Valley's best litigators. He learned from his long-time mentor, Gus Milides, just how important it is to be zealous in understanding the law. This, coupled with his genuine compassion for his clients, makes Ed Shaughnessy one of the leaders of the new generation of "greats". His devotion to representing injured clients is unsurpassed. His knowledge about the law is deep. Working with him as he represented the devastated family of a victim of a fatal car accident, I saw just how fortunate his clients are to have him on their side. If you or your client are looking for solid successful representation, don't wait to call Ed Shaughnessy."

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Ed for over 25 since we attended law school together. The success he has attained as a lawyer is not at all surprising. Ed has the perfect combination of traits to be a successful trial lawyer - he is extremely intelligent and he has a big heart. While we now practice several states apart, our firms have had an opportunity to practice together on a few cases and his work has been stellar. Kenny Harrell"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
