EDWARD SHEA & OFFICE is THE BEST in Tri-Cities, WA!

Edward Shea is by far the best Attorney in The Tri-Cities in Washington State! He is very intelligent, listens closely to your Issues and Needs and "creates a reaction" in other Parties that produces quality communications and negotiations. Matt Wick is his Assistant and beyond courteous and effec...tive within the Court System! I was honored by these wonderful , Moral and God-Loving Men who took my heavy burden and turned it into a Dance of JOY! YES! I will use Edward Shea again if I ever need him for excellent Legal Advice in the future. My Future is much brighter now, Thanks to Ed and Matt!

Divorce settlement

I never imagined that I would need the services of a divorce attorney, but then again, I don't think anyone ever goes into a marriage imaging that they will. When it finally came, I went in truly dreading the whole divorce process. Ed, and his assistant Amanda, made a lousy situation tolerable for ...me. I was always confident that the advice they were giving me was sound and they responded to my questions in a timely and kind fashion. They were able to move my case to an equitable resolution, avoiding the trial process entirely, which I greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Ed and his staff to anyone that may need legal representation.

Great Attorney!!

Definitely a great attorney. I hired him for a child support modification and he definitely knew what he was talking about, very professional but aggressive at the same time, when it came to court. He gave the judge several options that would work for me, but definetly fought for the lower amount. Ju...dge ruled on our behalf for lowest amount, due to him presenting all the correct facts and calling out the other parent on her BS. Very competent attorney, would definitely hire him again!

Custody

This was my first time in my life needing a lawyer. Custody of my husband's daughter. I had tried to find several online and by word of mouth. I have had a couple of interviews and was not impressed. My husband had been represented in a DUI case by this lawyer 5 years previous. I am very picky so I s...uggested we meet up with him so that I could decide. I was impressed by the presentation of the office, by the staff that greeted us and by Ed Shea. We worked through his assistant Matthew N. Wick who was completely helpful and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. I knew we were being taken care of the whole time. If they said they were going to do something - the followed their word and kept us informed. It was expensive but I know that I was paying for peace of mind as well as a well educated and well informed team. I would defiantly go back to Ed Shea and his team with any further needs.

Professional, hard-working

Ed and his team definitely made a very stressful situation less stressful for me and my family. They were organized, responsive, communicative, persistent and ready to fight for us at whatever level we wanted/needed them to. Ed provided great advice and always took my wishes into consideration when d...ealing with the "other side." I will definitely hire Ed and his team in the future if I have any needs in their areas of specialty.
