    I am an out of state lawyer who retained Colleen to assist on a case for one of my clients. She got the issues quickly and turned out excellent work.

    Excellent, Fair and fast

    I found Colleen thru Avvo and I was really impressed. She actually cared to hear about my case and gave me realistic expectations. She was fair and wasn't out to gauge me either. Overall, I had a really positive experience and she took a huge weight off my shoulders.

    Everything I wanted in an advocate

    Posted by

    I needed to evict a tenant that decided she'd like to live for free and take me for a ride. I didn't live in the area and this situation put me in a tough spot. I hoped I'd find a good lawyer. I didn't know Colleen, but we met and her experience quickly cut through the noise and she immediately got the process started. She was responsive to me in every manner - by phone, email, text. She gathered the facts, discussed options, and handled the case from beginning to end to my satisfaction. Through my experience, I've found Colleen to be honest, smart, responsive, and effective. I highly recommend her.

    We were very pleased with Colleen Shaw's assistance. She was knowledgeable, professional, assertive, and effective. She went above and beyond the call of duty. She even visited our home, on her way home from work, to further assist us! She is an awesome attorney, the most involved attorney we've ever had represent either of us. She's devoted to working diligently on behalf of her clients. It's because of Colleen Shaw that we won our case. Thanks Colleen.

    Colleen is one of the best lawyers in the bay area. Whether in court or the community, Colleen is trustworthy, caring, a zealous advocate, and always brings her passion for the law to the table. She is one of the most dedicated and hard-working lawyers I have ever met and would not hesitate to suggesting hiring her office in any civil or criminal defense matter. I have referred numerous north bay cases to her office and have always received positive feedback and praise on each and every referral.
