I am very grateful to Jessie. She is kind, professional, and has a sense of justice. She works hard to help me fight for my due rights and encourage me to be strong when encountering difficulties. I feel relieved to have her as my attorney. I can completely hand over my case to her.

Trustworthy & Experienced in Complex Cases

I had a highly complex divorce case. I needed a seasoned, no-nonsense, no BS attorney who's bi-lingual in Mandarin; one who specializes in family law as well as experienced in handling complicated cross-border financial matters. TBH, at first, I had doubts about whether I retained the right lawyer, b...ut later only proved that Jessie (and her partner Greg) knew what they were doing. They were strategic, rational, prudent, and extremely hard-working. Unlike some unscrupulous lawyers who use dirty tactics to try get what they want, Jessie and Greg are the contrary. They know the law, they use the facts, and they know the judges. They know what works and what don't and and they'll tell it like it is. Most importantly, they get things done. That's exactly the kind of lawyers I needed. Over time, I've come to trust them, and I say "trust" again, because nowadays, that's the hardest thing to do with lawyers. I highly recommend.

Excellent Attorney

I hired Jessie to finalize my divorce which was started in 1996/1997. The last step was never completed. I was getting remarried so this was very important to me. I needed someone fast and efficient...because I no longer resided in CA. Jessie communicated to me all through out the process and sh...e did everything she said she would do. She prepared me and always explained the legal steps. Finally the court day came and she got my divorce finalized. I admire her work ethic and professionalism. She is a outstanding, strong, reliable Attorney. Hire her if you want to win.

Jessie explain all the detail to your questions patiently and professionally each every time when I visit her office, on top of that she answered all my phone calls during the period of my divorce... letigation process. She always showed her intergrity either on the court or negotiate with the opposite party. I am here to highly recommend a such thoughtfulness, kindness and professionally in Family Law practice lawyer.

Best lawyer

I am a 67 years old lady , when I had to face the tragedy of divorce last year, I fortunately had Ms Jessie Shaw as my divorce lawyer. During whole lawsuit process, she is extremely responsible, reliable, professional. She help me not only as a cliant but as a family mumber as well. I was deeply tou...ched by her character, upright; caring; Integrity and her attitude towards work, delicate; diligency; decisive. With her professional help and mentally supporting I recovered the hope and faith of life and being able to secure the rest of life as an old lady. I have no more words to express how much I apreciated and how grateful to my lawyer, Ms Jessie Shaw, again, Lawyer Shaw, all of what have you done for me will be deeply engraved on the memory of mine for the rest of my life.
