Shady

This guy purposely puts the wrong address in for the opposing party to keep them from getting court documents. He will refuse to correct it and leaves it until the other party has to go handle it themselves.

The BEST Lawyer

Thank you Abhi for helping me navigate the legal system. You championed my case and made sure I got the best possible outcome.

High Marks for Abhi Shah

After consulting with several attorneys about my case, I am very thankful that I ended up choosing Abhi. His fee is fair and flexible. He and his team are very thorough, explained to me exactly what I should expect throughout the process, and got me started on my "assignments" right away so that I w...ould be prepared for every eventuality when the time came. Before I was even properly served with the complaint, Abhi had prepared my Answer and Counterpetition, but ended up getting the entire case dismissed at the very first hearing, based on a venue oversight by the opposing attorney! I would definitely hire Abhi again if and when the other side re-files properly, and I have great confidence that my case will be resolved in my favor.

Complicated Divorce Case

My wife left me and took off with the kids in MN. And because she filed for divorce at the state Line on her way to Tampa, I had no chance for custody. She wasn’t forced to bring the children back to MN instead I would spend two years fighting in MN only to have her attorney filing an emergency heari...ng after I fired my attorney in MN for not filing paperwork to have the kids back. The emergency hearing was done while I was in Florida visiting the kids. She testified that she did not know where I was and was awarded full custody giving me 0 rights. I moved to Florida to be near the kids and Abhi fought an impossible case getting me 40% custody in Florida. He also got back child support lowered from 240k to 40k. He stayed on the case with me for FOUR years not only acting as my lawyer but keeping my spirits positive. I highly recommend Mr Shah as an attorney. His knowledge and work ethic are unmatched.

I would highly recommend Mr Shaw.

Mr Shaw, initially impressed me after I made the first phone contact with him. I mistakenly thought that I had more days to respond to a divorce petition, and I found out I was wrong after speaking to Mr.Shaw. I was a nervous wreck ,since, my then husband filed for a divorce and did not say anything... to me about a divorce and we were still living together. I contacted Mr Shaw on a Friday afternoon and he offered to meet me the next day (Saturday) for our consultation so that I would not miss the deadline for the court response. Mr Shaw went out of his way to see me on a Saturday when his office is closed and I am appreciative of this small act of kindness. Abhi is very knowledgeable and explained what I can expect to happen as the divorce proceeded. Abhi also addressed any questions or concerns I had in a timely manner. If I phoned him and if he did not answer, I quickly learned that I could expect him to call back within the next hour or less. This is one of the other things I liked about Abhi. And I will say, that I phoned him a number of times thru my divorce and always found him to be honest and sincere in his responses. Abhi also provides excellent aftercare. After my divorce was finalized, and my attorney services with Abhi was concluded I had to phone him again. My difficult ex spouse was refusing to cooperate with sharing certain documents and after speaking to Abhi , I received the documents within 20 minutes from my ex spouse. Abhi was no longer my attorney, but he immediately, mediated for me and I received the needed documents. I had to ask Abhi for help on 3 different occasions, after my divorce was finalized. On every occasion, Abhi returned my phone calls promptly and was successful in getting me the needed results. He also quickly followed back up with a brief phone call, to inform me that the documents were in my email. As well, as being a excellent attorney, Mr Shaw offers a payment plan for his services. This was a helpful option for me since, this was a divorce that I never saw coming. Thank you Abhi, for all your services, advice and time, and help, in concluding this divorce action in my favour. Your kindness and professionalism is very much appreciated.
