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.

Best lawyer office!!

I hired ED Shea to handle an issue with my parenting plane. I was not getting my visitation time that I was supposed to be getting. Mr. Shea handled the issue in one court hearing, (wiped the floor) Mr. Shea was able to shut down false acquisitions my son's mother accused me of doing during a inciden...t were I disciplined my 14yr old son. I'm very grateful for Mr. Shea and his team Manna, Amanda, Beth and donna. They were very professional and timely. Straight forward and very fair on there billing. Thank you so Much!!

Exceeded All of My Expectations & Needs

Mr. Shea and his assistant went above and beyond my expectations. They aided me in legal documents in a prompt, professional, and polite manner. Mr. Shea and his assistant quickly came to my rescue and filed legal documentation required by the county/state timely and accurately allowing me a secure p...eace of mind. I highly recommend Edward Shea to anyone needing legal representation.

Best Decision I Made

After talking to a number of people in the area, I contacted Ed Shea to represent me in my divorce and it was the best decision I could have made. Ed and his staff were professional and courteous. They returned calls the same day and I never felt like I was bothering them when I'd call. Ed was alw...ays prepared for meetings, hearings, mediation, etc.. and did a good job of letting me know what to expect during each phase. Ed will not waste yours (or his) time, he cuts through the bs to get the information that is needed and will not sugar coat where you stand. Ed did an outstanding job, he ran circles around the opposing attorney(s) from beginning to end and got the best result possible. Again, hiring Ed Shea was the best decision I could have made.

Professional, Thorough, Intelligent and Compassionate

Ed and his staff did an amazing job of assisting me in a difficult probate case. He was responsive and supportive and it was certainly the best experience that I've ever had in working with legal counsel. He is amazing in the court room and I would highly recommend him and his staff if you're looki...ng for a positive experience during a challenging time. Ed is honest, hard working and very professional. He is well respected in the community and his level of integrity was key in my case. Ed maintained great lines of communication, always promptly returning phone calls and emails. His calm, professional demeanor was very reassuring throughout a stressful process.
