Estate planning made easy

I was new to the area and the state and needed to update my will and POA. I found Melvin Shaw through a google search, and I'm so glad I did. He explained things to me clearly and in an understandable way, he listened to my concerns, and he answered my questions. I feel peace of mind knowing those do...cuments are completed, and I am confident that Melvin advised me well. He and Stephanie were professional but warm, and guided me through the process with expertise. I highly recommend Melvin Shaw for estate planning assistance.

Professional and Caring

I found Melvin Shaw to be an excellent attorney. He took plenty of time to discuss all the details of my circumstances and what I wanted to do (prepare a will). He was very professional and at the same time took everything I had to say into consideration. Highly recommend.

My new attorney

My attorney of thirty plus years retired recently. Melvin Shaw was recommended to me by my financial advisor. I called Mr. Shaw’s office and was able to meet with him, although at that time I had no specific legal work for him. I appreciated the time he took for us to get to know each other a bit.... In November of last year I decided to make some changes to my will. He explained the process and the amount of time it would take. I now have a new will. Mr. Shaw was clear and concise regarding the procedures involved. He is friendly, professional and I felt like a valued client. I would recommend Melvin Shaw, and have, to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable attorney.

Wills & POA

We recently worked with Melvin to draft our wills and power of attorney. The whole process was smooth, straightforward, and uncomplicated. He did a very thorough job of explaining everything to us. Would highly recommend.

Trustworthy

Mr. Shaw took great care assisting my mother and myself with her legal matters. He was knowledgeable, patient, kind and made my aging parent feel at ease making difficult decisions. I highly recommend Mr. Shaw to anyone that requires legal counsel.
