Diane Kahler

Ed Shaw and his Legal Assistant, Beth, were awesome to work with. I had head so many horror stories about dealing with Attorneys. They were so kind and professional. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for legal assistance.

Great Representation

Mr. Shaw handled my very contentious divorce and was able to get me a desired outcome at a fair price. I would strongly recommend Mr. Shaw.

Very friendly

Mr. Shaw handled my small matter very professionally and kindly. I just needed assistance in reviewing a motion to change support and even though it was just a small matter, he was very friendly and treated me with the utmost respect. I will always be happy to recommend him any time. Thank you so muc...h for your help.

Professional and Trustworthy

My experience with Edward M. Shaw and his staff was wonderful. In a very professional manner, my husband and I was able to clearly identify what we wanted in our Last Will and Testament. We also obtain our Health Advocacy documents as well as Durable Power of Attorney. Attorney Shaw made sure that I ...understood every thing in the documents before I signed them. He was pleasant and patient. We felt a fiduciary trust with him. I will continue to use his services for now on. I highly recommend him. He will always be there for his clients.

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.
