Thank Goodness for Ed Shaw Law Office!

I had been dragging my feet but knew that Bankruptcy was a real thing I may have had to do. I made an appointment with Ed Shaw and was pleasantly surprised with all of the information we received that we had no idea about. He is very knowledgeable and friendly and I was so thankful as I have never us...ed an attorney. His assistant Cathy helped so much throughout the whole process as I had a never ending stream of questions. She answered them all efficiently and never made me feel uncomfortable. Great experience. Great place to go for Bankruptcy! Never fun but if you pick Ed Shaw it makes it so much easier!

Great Attorney!!!

My husband and I are so thankful we found our attorney Ed Shaw. We had the unfortunate experience of having some quite awful renters and felt so lost we had no idea what to do. We went in for our free consultation and instantly felt somewhat relieved that we could figure this out. He was so helpful a...nd his staff was so kind to us when we were in the office. And we won our case!! Overall just a great experience. Definitely recommend Ed Shaw Law Office to anyone looking!

Where there is a Will, there is a Way

I knew I needed a Will. I knew I needed help. A trusted resource recommended Ed Shaw Law from their good experiences. Now I have a great Will. Now I have Peace-of-Mind. Thank you, Ed Shaw Law.

Job well done

My custody case was tough, my son had lived with his mother for a couple years, I thought he would do better living with me and I hired Mr. Shaw to make that happen. Mr. Shaw did a great job, put the work in and we won the case. My son is with me now and doing great. I would recommend Mr. Shaw to ...anyone who needs help with a tough case.

Bankruptcy case

I hired Mr. Shaw for my bankruptcy. I was in a financial crisis and extremely overwhelmed at that time. He eased all of my concerns and seemed genuinely concerned. The staff simplified the process which at first appeared daunting. I would highly recommend him for legal help. He is fair, honest and ve...ry intelligent. I have recommended him to other family and friends because I know first-hand that he is trustworthy and capable.

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.
