Reliable Lawyer

Melvin has always promptly returns calls and emails, gives educated, clearly stated advice. Appointments are made and kept. I have already recommended Melvin and would do so again.

Great Lawyer, very helpful

We have used Mr Shaw for 2 different real estate transactions, and he has been great to work with on both. He also looked over my wife's contract when she graduated and joined a practice. He has always kept us up to date on where we are at in the process, and is very helpful with telling us what we... need to do. Would strongly recommend him.

Helpful response to my telephone call

I found positive information about Mr. Shaw on this website and called him with a question. I don't need to hire an attorney yet. I can comment only on this telephone conversation, and that's why I have rated him only in the two categories I experienced: his knowledge and his responsiveness to my ...question. He answered my question very clearly. If I do need to be his client in the future, I definitely would trust him. He was very professional, polite, kind and helpful on the telephone. I felt he gave me his complete attention, he was interested in my situation, and he listened carefully. I couldn't have wished for anything more or better in an initial telephone conversation.

Young, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic attorney

If you're looking for a young, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic attorney, Melvin Shaw is the perfect fit for you. He goes far beyond his job expectations to protect you. He is honest and fair. Additionally, he is very easy to communicate with clients and other lawyers. He has a very nice, enjoyabl...e personality and I would recommend his services to any individual who wants someone who will get the job done in a timely and efficient manner.
