Our Practice

Straight Talk
Where it Matters Most...

No Nonsense Legal Advice

There are no guarantees in court, and we won't promise you the impossible. From the start, we'll help you build realistic expectations and pursue the best possible outcome for your situation. Our attorneys are experienced litigators, but going to court isn't always the right path forward. When resolution is possible without litigation, we'll tell you.

 

Whatever path your case takes, you can count on honest guidance and committed representation every step of the way.

Family Law

Navigating family law matters can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face them alone. Whether you're dealing with dissolution, child custody, child support, or an Order for Protection, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.

Civil Law

From contract disputes to landlord-tenant conflicts and property line issues, our attorneys bring extensive experience to a wide range of civil law matters. You can count on us to approach your case with dedication and skill.

Criminal Defense

Facing criminal charges, whether a misdemeanor or a felony, can be an incredibly stressful experience. Our team is here to provide steady support, quality representation, and a commitment to protecting your rights.

Civil Rights Infringements

If you believe your civil rights have been violated, Edward R. Shaw is here to help. Ed takes a particular interest in cases involving police brutality and other civil rights infringements, fighting to ensure that accountability is upheld for all.

Estate Planning & Probate

Losing a loved one is never easy, and the legal matters that follow shouldn't add to your burden. Blake brings empathy and dedication to every probate and estate planning case, working to guide you through the process and help secure a simpler future for those you love.

Real Estate Law

Real estate transactions and disputes can be complex, but you don't have to navigate them alone. Whether you're buying, selling, or facing a property dispute, our attorneys bring the knowledge and care needed to protect your interests

Bankruptcy

Financial hardship can feel overwhelming, but a fresh start may be closer than you think. Edward R. Shaw is here to guide you through the bankruptcy process with compassion and expertise, helping you understand your options and find the path forward that works best for you. You don't have to face this alone; we're here to help you rebuild with confidence.

Mediation

Conflict doesn't have to end in a courtroom. Mediation offers a structured, private process where you stay in control of the outcome, reduce costs, and reach a workable agreement. Whether you're navigating a family dispute, a business conflict, or something in between, our experienced mediators are here to help you move forward with clarity and confidence
