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.

Amazing Support

Mr. Shaw and his assistant Beth were amazing. They were readily available to answer all of my questions. He always appeared in court prepared, and always advocated vigorously for me. I strongly recommend Mr. Shaw for anyone in need of help for a divorce. Thank you again for all you have done for ...me and my daughter.

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.
