Recommended

I am very satisfied with the way both Jessie Shaw and and her associate Greg Almas who handled and finalized my dissolution of marriage. Going through a divorce battle for years was so stressful and emotional but they handled my case in an extremely competent and professional manner. They were attent...ive, professional and especially ethical throughout each step of the dissolution process. I feel lucky that I hired them to work on my case and am definitely confident to recommend them.

Great Family Law Attorney

Ms. Shaw picked up my case really quickly after switching from my previous attorney to her. She has been very knowledgeable in handling family law. She understands what emotional stresses I am going through and she explains and directs me about what my next step should be. So, I won’t be left wonderi...ng and worrying. Her associate, Greg, is also very knowledgeable. He is organized and thorough. These two make a great team for my case.

Trustworthy family law lawyer with integrity helped me in any way she can

Jessie Shaw takes care of my case with her knowledge in family law. I am very comfortable to work with her. She makes me more confident in my case. I was encouraged by her to find more hope in my struggling case and future. I am very grateful to have her as my lawyer, and wish she will help more peop...le in difficult situation like me.

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.
