Estate planning/Trusts/POA

I requested estates planning and trusts. He took his time to explain all future events that could effect me and my extended family and tailored our trusts accordantly.

Mr. Shaw helped my parents with their estate planning. He handled every detail and when our parents passed away he was there to answer our follow-up questions regarding house closing, beneficiary forms, and trust accounts. He helped us get through a difficult time.

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.
