A genuinely good person and genius attorney. I got everything I wanted and more at an affordable cost. Her assistant Karen kept me informed and was very nice to me during the entire process. Such a wonderful experience with a great outcome.

She's your lawyer!!

Ms. Shaw was very professional but at the same time, she was personable! I felt that I could trust her from the moment I sat in her office. My divorce was extremly emotional and she was very understanding. She listened to my needs and wants and worked very hard on my behalf. I was awarded everything I asked for in my final settlement. If the need arises for an attorney in the future, Ms. Shaw will definetely represent me!

Being new to the area and having to blindly choose an atty from the yellow pages, my first phone call was with an office who literally told me "the judge doesn't have to give YOU anything, just support for the kids"! I cried for a week, thinking they were right, before deciding to try another attorney. I'm so glad I did! After hearing my situation, Heather Shaw advised what I was legally entitled to and explained what kind of process I should expect. I walked away from her office with the first feeling of hope I’d had in months. I was completely confident in her knowledge of SC divorce laws and was always satisfied with her answers to my MANY questions, always within a 24 hour period. I should also mention her paralegal, Karen Berry, and how helpful and informative she has been throughout the process as well. I have felt genuine concern as they have both made a point to ask how the children and I are faring. I would highly recommend Heather Shaw if you are seeking legal direction. Although I’ve only hired her for my divorce, I wouldn’t think twice about hiring her again for ANY other area.

Ms. Shaw helped me with a divorce action that I filed. Her office scheduled the appointment quickly and the fee was very reasonable. In the short period of time we met, Ms. Shaw gave me some excellent advice on different aspects of my case and helped me with the paperwork involved. In these tough economic times I was tempted to go it alone with out an attorney. After meeting with Ms. Shaw - I know it was money well spent.

I was represented by Heather Shaw and her firm. The service I recieved was excellent and I would not hesitate to get legal advice from her again. Mrs. Shaw knew the law and stuck to letting the law speak so the legal system could do it's job. I trusted in her from the very first consultation. Her firm, unyielding demeanor which was cool calm and collected helped the case and eased my fears during the divorce process. Her staff is excellent and deserve credit also. Heather has a can do attitude and it proved evident to the case. I'm very thankful for hiring an attorney worthy of going the distance and for a staff that is diligent and dedicated to the case. I can't thank you enough. Rebecca

Heather Shaw is such a compassionate and strong indivual who kept my best interest at heart while fighting for myself and my family. She is still today someone who genuinely cares about my well-being and definitely someone I will continuously recommend to anyone in need. She is more than a lawyer, and she is definitely fierce!!

Heather was helpful through the entire process. Having to go to court to resolve some divorce issues, I was nervous and frustrated in the beginning, but she walked me through the process, stayed on top of it until the end, and was there for me with great advice the whole way. The results were fair and I was completely satisfied that my best interests were protected.

I first met Heather when she represented a friend of mine in a divorce/custody issue. She did a great job, achieved positive results, and has continued to provide assistance to this friend over the years. I have not personally worked with her on any matters, but I know that my boss highly recommends her and that we frequently refer clients with Family Court issues to her.
