About Edward

Biography

Preparation and organization are the keys to success in any family law case. I've done this work for 30 years and developed an internal systems-approach to negotiating cases quickly to resolution and, in those cases that don't resolve, I'm prepared to achieve a successful result in trial.

The best hire I made.

I hired Ed to take over as my attorney from another divorce attorney that charged me several thousands to get absolutely no where in my divorce. He was compassionate and to the point advising me with no empty promises. He was able to completely resolve the case in a timely manner. I wish I had hir...ed his office first.

After a two year divorce I couldn’t be more thankful

I do not even know where to start on how fortunate I was to have Ed and Spencer on my side for a brutal divorce proceeding. I will summarize how awesome Ed and his team were, but I really want to highlight his ability to be caring and to listen throughout the two year battle. This was an emotionally ...draining and a hard two year fight. Ed was extremely honest with me and didn’t play games wasting time. I was always kept informed and knew my options. Ed was relentless and knew the law which ultimately lead to us winning at trial. From the day he took my case I put full trust into him and I feel this was such a success because of that. He knows the law and is phenomenal at trial in front of a judge! Ed was very thorough and was always very forthcoming on what he needed from me. I had to trust him though the process and I’m so glad I did. My ex was a complete liar and fabricated so many lies throughout the two years, there were multiple contempts and hearings while we waited for trial. Ed was always on his A game and was able to shut down the other side without issues. Ultimately, Ed and his team were always very well prepared and he knew my case inside and out. He was able to come out on top of the divorce proceedings and got more than I ever thought possible from trial. This was all due to his due diligence in the case. Do not hesitate hiring him!!

Divorce/Family Law Case

Ed did a superb job with my divorce case. He is fair, reliable and advocates for you! He listened to my goals and expectations and informed me on what to expect throughout the process. He kept my situation fair, calm and was able to get me the results I desired for my situation. I would not hire anyo...ne else in the area but Ed. His assistants Manna and Beth are communicative and reliable as well. They perform exceptionally well with filing, processing paper work and communicating with you. Very professional team.

Divorce Mediation

I would absolutely recommend Ed Shea! He walked me through the process of Divorce proceedings, what to prepare for, etc. He was very matter of fact, yet empathetic, and has a very professional, and confident demeanor. His experience made me feel more calm and confident. In addition, his office st...aff was easy to work with, friendly, and knowledgeable.

Honest and Real.

I hired Ed to represent me in my recent divorce case after a friend recommended him. It was a great decision. Throughout my case, Ed was honest and down to earth. Both Ed and his staff promptly responded to my questions, often times after hours. If you are looking for a no BS, down to earth, real per...son attorney who will make sure you well covered in all areas of a divorce case, look no further. Ed is your guy.
