Great Experience

We've been referred to Melvin O. Shaw by his former colleague who spoke very highly of him. And, as it turned out, rightly so. We hired Melvin for doing our Last Will and Testaments and the POAs. Everything was done with an utmost efficiency and professionalism as well as with a touch of good humor a...nd friendliness. He was very helpful in answering the questions we had prior to signing the papers and very generous with his time. We would highly recommend him as a lawyer in his field of expertise and would certainly go back to seek his assistance in legal matters if needed.

Straightforward, Precise and Genuine

We hired Mr. Shaw to develop our Wills and Power of Attorneys. He and Stephanie were a pleasure to work with. The process he has developed for his prospective clients in this particular practice area is straightforward, smooth, precise and helps the client understand the terms. He really focuses on e...nsuring that he is clear and aligned on your wishes and responds with great patience and clarity to questions. For ensuring your loved ones and yourself are well taken care of should the worst case scenario happen, Mr. Shaw is a great resource to put those legal documents in place. We highly recommend him.

Came to our rescue!

We were bogged down with a mortgage lien issue that was stalling the sale of our house. Our realty company was not able to solve the problem. We contacted Mr. Shaw, who returned our call within the hour. He listened carefully, formulated a clear plan, and had the issue resolved within a few days. Asi...de from providing excellent legal service he was most gracious in helping to alleviate our frustration and worry. We highly recommend this gentleman.

We had a great experience working with Melvin Shaw. He is very personable, thoughtful, and patient. He walked us through the whole document and wanted to make sure we understood each section thoroughly. It is clear he cares about his clients and truly wants what is best for them. I strongly recommend... working with Melvin Shaw.

Mel Shaw assisted me with drawing up my will and declaring Health Power of Attorney (POA) and Financial POA. Mel exceeded my expectations in the level of service provided. He is knowledgeable and explained each process thoroughly. I have no reservations in recommending him.
