Class A Attorney!

I decided to use Mr. Shaw regardless of the negative comments on this website as I was referred from a good friend who had used Mrhim in the past. I am happy to say that not only did he win my case, he proved that he is a great attorney and was very knowledgeable in criminal law. I would suggest anyo...ne seeking legal advice to give him a shot!! Thank you Mr. Shaw!

Very Satisfied Divorce and Custody Client

Ed Shaw was a fantastic lawyer to have on my side while I was going through a very difficult divorce and custody issue. He always kept me informed and reassured me through every aspect of the process. He always responded to my calls and emails promptly and was very professional while in court. He got... me a terrific outcome on my case and I would definitely recommend him to anyone going through a difficult family matter! Thank you Ed!

Chapter 7 client

Ed knew the ins and outs of my Federal chapter 7 case and helped me do all of the pre-filing things I needed to do in order to avoid a chapter 13 that I never could have afforded. While not a complex bankruptcy by any means, there was enough going on to where I needed Ed's expertise and he provided ...it at a fair price. Ed and Marcia called and emailed any time I had a development in my case and promptly responded to my many questions.

Excellent, professional representation

I was not looking forward to having to filing for bankruptcy protection, but when I had to do it, Ed and his staff helped make it as easy as possible. They were great in making sure I had every detail covered and I felt well prepared as a result. They helped guide me through any questions I had whi...le filing, and kept me very well informed as to what to expect. Marcia deserves praise for a job well done, and Anna really went above and beyond, driving thru a blizzard to help in my representation. (Thank you again Anna!!) I could not be happier with the service I received.

Good divorce lawyer

I hired Ed for my divorce. My husband and I had been living separate lives for quite some time, but just hadn't filed for divorce. Ed fit me in as a walk-in appointment and met with me immediately. He let me know the divorce process and made it much less scary to think about. From start to finish... he let me know what was going on and his staff was always available to help. I greatly appreciated his help on this.

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.
