Civiil Law

The Attorneys at Ed Shaw Law are pleased to assist you with you civil law matters. Whether you will primarily work with Ed, Blake, Jules, or Chris, and whether you are the plaintiff or defendant, we will work hard for you. 

​Civil law matters include contract disputes, property disputes, homeowner issues, construction matters, elder care and guardianships, employment matters (employer or employee, independent contractor), business formation, business governance, asset recovery, driver's license issues, defamation, education or school matters, and much more to include general litigation matters.

Experienced Guidance Through All Civil Matters

Many people contact our office and are unsure if they have a case. In the majority of circumstances, people who have questions about the type of case that they may bring are dealing with a civil matter. That is, there is no behavior present that actually breaks any laws, but rather the actions by the other party have caused them some type of financial harm or other kind of injury for which they seek compensation or other type of ruling by the courts (like an injunction to stop the offending behavior, for example.)

​

At Ed Shaw Law, our attorneys practice in a wide range of legal areas, including civil litigation, and we believe that’s one of our greatest strengths. You don’t need to know what type of law your problem falls under, or whether you need a lawsuit to address it. That’s our job to figure out. We welcome you to set a time to meet with us to discuss your legal issues, even if you are unsure of whether you have a case or what type of case you have.

​​

If you have a problem that you think needs a legal resolution, we invite you to schedule a consultation with a lawyer in Brainerd or St. Cloud. We’ll evaluate your situation and give you straightforward advice on ways to address all legal issues.

​

If your case needs to go to court, you can count on our experienced litigators to advocate for you every step of the way. But we won’t drag you into a lawsuit if there’s a more efficient solution. Our goal is to resolve your legal issues as effectively — and as cost-effectively — as possible. ​
