A decade worth of help and counting
Back in 2010, I was seeking help with some serious felony charges. Parag has been there through every step of the way; filing motions, answering all my questions and maintaining contact throughout the whole process. He is only ever a phone call or email away and very good at keeping me in the loop. Now to be on the backend of all my troubles, he is still here offering his help and knowledge. He has truly been a blessing in my whole situation, never judging, and always giving me his best. Anyone would be lucky to have him in their corner.

Parag Shah Review
I hired the Shah Law Firm to represent me as a personal injury attorney. Parag did an outstanding job handling my case. He established realistic expectations, communicated regularly throughout the process with expert advice, firmly negotiated with the insurance company and arrived at a more than satisfactory settlement. I would not hesitate to hire him again should I need it.

Judicial Assistant
Mr. Shah did a phenomenal job representing my 24 year old son in Cobb County Superior Court today! I was overwhelmed with tears at how hard he fought to keep him from a prison sentence that I have seen young men his age receive on a daily basis in Fulton County Superior Court. I was also impressed with the Sentencing Mitigation Packet that he put together to give a true and accurate account of who my son is and was prior to the charges. Parag Shah represented my son like he was representing his own child and I will forever be grateful to him for his compassion and dedication to making sure that he received a fair and just sentence.

Honest and Approachable
Mr. Parag is genuine, approachable and abstemious Attorney. What he promised on Day one when he heard the case and the possible charges he explained have never changed till our case conclusion. He agreed for a fixed fee and committed to it till end with no hidden and surprises during our association. We are obliged to him for our case resolution and I always will recommend him to any of my friend / family who is in need of an attorney.

Excellent assistance
Parag worked my case for over two years. From the first time I was in his office to the last day, he was always professional. As the months dragged on, he always updated with either an email, phone call or in person. I always knew where we were in the process. He took over my case when two another lawyers failed. He brought this case to a successfully conclusion. I would recommend him over other attorneys. I never worried about whether he was on my case as the months dragged on. He brought back my faith in attorneys.

Parag and his team are amazing !
I got into an accident where a driver rear ended me & pushed (slammed) my car into the back of an SUV. **I STRONGLY SUGGEST you get in touch with him before you find a chiropractor or any doctor pertaining to the accident so you can go with his recommendations, trust me! I initially tried to go through the insurance company responsible but it was getting too complicated. Once he and his team got on the case it was a relief. They were all extremely sympathetic and kind on the initial consultation. Parag & Chelsey are both easy to get in contact with so there’s no problem at all with communication. They also send you monthly updates so you are always up to date with what’s going on. A few months later everything was settled & they got me a settlement that I wouldn’t have received if I went with another law firm. Although accidents are frustrating & painful it’s a huge sigh of relief knowing that there are a team of people that are fighting extremely hard to get you compensated for all of your trouble.

Goes the extra mile!
Parag and his staff (Chelsey and Christa) went the extra mile in representing me. I appreciate the attention, attentiveness , and concern shown to me throughout the life of my claim. It was a very stressful time in my life as I've never experience a real injury before. Parag and his staff never hesitated to answer a question or explain a concern to me. It went a long way towards bringing me peace and calm in a time of great uncertainty. I'm also ecstatic about the outcome! Do not hesitate to hire the Shah Law Firm.

Dedicated to his clients
We hired my Shah's firm after he came to us for our first meeting. He's very down to earth, dedicated, caring, and focused on helping his clients. He worked very hard to get the full amount for my settlement, in a very short period of time. I can't say enough good things about The Shah law firm. First class!

Fantastic!
After being told several times by others that I had no case, the Shah firm took up my case. They kept me well informed and moved the case quickly. I received a very satisfactory result -- cold hard cash! I know the difference between good legal services and skill versus the same old same old. This firm is stellar in every regard. I would definitely recommend them for your personal injury matter.

Federal District Court lawsuit vs Volkswagen ("Dieselgate")
I am a lawyer myself, so I know a lot of people in our industry and I could pick from many competent colleagues, but whenever I have a budding legal issue, Parag is my first call. Usually my only call too. He knows it all and if he doesn't know, he will research it and get back to me. This is the second time that Parag has filed a lawsuit on my behalf as a plaintiff. The other was for a personal injury case where we got full policy limits from the defendant's insurance company in less than 4 months with check in hand. Back to the more recent VW case. Parag took on this infamous case with swift action and personal attention. He has an open door policy and contacts me back at literally any hour of the day/night. He went the extra mile for all of us in this multi-district litigation case in Federal Court out in San Francisco, CA. He updated us monthly and provided us with a copy of the pleadings. Suffice to say that he is 2 for 2 for us as our lawsuit is pretty much settled and are soon to get our hands on another meaty settlement check because of another's malfeasance. See you on the next one Parag!
