Attorneys at Shumway Van are focused on how they can help clients to succeed in whatever legal situation they find themselves in. In the past, most people had a family doctor and a lawyer they they could trust. No matter the medical situation the family doctor would be called because he or she was a trusted advisor to the family and was expected to make the right decision. It was the same for the family lawyer, and any legal situation that would come up would be handled by the lawyer everyone in the family knew and trusted. The world has changed though and both lawyers and doctors have found that they can make more money if more people can "engage" with a problem.

Nowadays, we see a special doctor for every specific ailment we are faced with, and a different lawyer at a law firm for every legal problem. Why? Wouldn't it be best for you to have someone on your side that you know? Someone you can trust? Someone you can build a relationship with and truly know that they'll have your best interest in mind? At Shumway Van, we're "bringing that era back"!

We believe that each client should have a relationship with an attorney that knows them, their family, and the important aspects of their life, and that attorney should have access to other attorneys that can advise them about how to help the client no matter the situation. We believe that everyone needs an attorney they can tust to do excellent work for a fair and affordable price, and who does not charge them for every minute of every phone call because that is just not what trusted advisors should do. We want our clients to call whenever they have a concern, and we charge for legitimate legal work rather than just talking about legal work.
