This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Very Helpful

Mr. Shaw was very helpful regarding our estate planning questions and we appreciated his time.

Posted by anonymous | August 29, 2013

Don't just put out your Shingle.

Mr. Shaw tends to do a lot of Grandstanding in Madeira, and not a lot of legal work. New to the area, his qualifications looked good. Unfortunately, he either didn't know the laws, didn't care about my issues, or preoccupied???? I canceled my association with Mr. Shaw. My new attorney was excelle...nt!!! Very Experienced, very smart, only corresponded when necessary and I received a nice settlement.

I serve my community in various capacities. I am very proud of what I have done in Madeira to make it a better community and to make the schools a better place to send your children. Obviously this individual, being new to the area, has no idea of my history in the community. If you want to know, ask the City Manager or the Superintendent of the Schools. In litigation, lawyers and clients often have different perspectives. I am happy that the individual found an attorney that better aligned with their needs or desires. I don't know who this client was or the circumstances. I have 25 years of litigation experience, and in that time, I can assure everyone, that not all clients have agreed with my recommendations. When that is true, I often suggest that they seek another attorney and have helped clients find an attorney that better meets their needs or their approach to litigation.

Steve Shaw

We are very pleased to have Stephen Shaw as our attorney. Steve was very knowledgeable and helpful to us as we started our business. He helped us to negotiate our lease as well as draft our Operating Agreement. Steve is now involved with helping us negotiate a lease for a second store. Steve is ver...y personable and responsive to our needs anytime we have an issue.

excellent legal resource

Steve Shaw did an excellent job writing our wills, living wills, and powers of attorney. I would highly recommend him for whatever legal issues might arise.

Posted by ELENA | April 12, 2013

Very satisfied with his services.

It was a pleasure working with Mr. Shaw. He is very professional and knowledgeable within this field. Mr. Shaw was very reliable throughout the whole period of time. The one thing I must commend Mr. Shaw on, is his ability to respond so quickly to my questions and concerns regarding my case. Unlike s...ome lawyers, he always puts the client first. Mr. Shaw is also the President of the Madeira Chamber of Commerce and is all about the community and small businesses. Mr. Shaw helped me substantially and I cannot thank him enough.
