Edward F Shea JR

I had the privilege of working with Ed and his team over the last 2 years, and I cannot speak highly enough of their professionalism, dedication, and integrity. From the very beginning, Ed provided exceptional representation and demonstrated a clear commitment to achieving the best possible outcome ...in my case. What I appreciated most was Ed’s honesty and straightforward approach. Before each hearing or court appearance, he took the time to explain every possible outcome, ensuring I understood exactly what to expect. He isn’t the type of attorney who tells you what you want to hear, he tells you the truth, prepares you for all scenarios, and guides you with confidence and care. He makes you aware of risks you take going to court and always keeps you mindful of the what ifs. Ed is also very well respected in the courts and it shows. He doesn’t get pushed around, knows the RCWs inside and out, and presents with confidence and precision. When it’s his turn to speak, his arguments are strong, well-prepared, and persuasive. You can tell he truly cares about his clients and fights for what’s right. Especially when it comes to achieving what’s best for your children. His assistant, Amanda, was equally incredible. She was attentive, responsive, and always kept me informed. If Ed was in trial or mediation, she made sure I knew the reason for any delay and that my concerns were still being addressed. Their communication and teamwork made an otherwise stressful process so much easier to navigate. There were several times I reached out with questions on weekends or after hours and still received timely responses, which speaks volumes about their dedication. I can’t say enough good things about this firm. They are truly an excellent team, and I would recommend them to anyone in Benton County needing knowledgeable, honest, and effective legal representation. Worth every single penny you will spend.

I highly recommend Ed and his fantastic team. I originally hired Ed about 15 years ago and have had to rehire him a few times since. I strongly suggest everyone to contact him when they have an unfortunate turn in events. He was prepared, on time, empathetic, courteous and even made an effort to giv...e me a call and check on me after the court case was over just to see how things were going. Mr. Shea and his staff are hands down the best.

Ed Shea was my attorney from 20-25'. This was a very high-profile custody battle. We were tasked with systemic failure after systemic failure, for years. After going through this myself, I can't think of a better equipped attorney and his firm. He is considered by his peers as a" Trial ready" a...ttorney and known for handling "complex cases". This is why I Hired him. I had previously hired an attorney that was not equipped to handle complex cases, and it wasn't me that made the case complex. This is something that you need to consider. Emotions get the best of people. This case was considered a "Trial by Fire" and became the "Burning Building Theory" that is every parent's worst nightmare. Not only did Ed Shea agree to enter the" Burning Building" with me. Ed cemented my Childs future and recovery, in stone. You cannot "buy" this aspect in an attorney. You have to be made this way. You have to "Prove" you are made this way. My case proved who Ed Shea is. As a parent, you couldn't ask for a better outcome. As a word of advice for those that are about to embark on a custody dispute... Hire the right attorney. It means everything, in the end. This is one of the most important investments, for your child's future. Legends are Legends. -Ryan

Getting the right attorney is EVERYTHING in a legal battle. Ed and his team are literally exactly what you pray for when you know that you need legal representation. I was SO IMPRESSED with them. They are extremely responsive, which is HUGE, and they don't waste time on misleading you or giving yo...u false expectations. You can tell immediately that Ed has a massive amount of experience. They took on an extremely difficult family case for me, and I was able to get full custody as a result. As a father this is unheard of in my experience. I'm so grateful for this team. You will not be disappointed.
