Mr. Shaw represented me in a completely unfair murder case and overturned the conviction. He is totally different from most lawyers. He is one in a million! What sets him apart is his authenticity and thoughtfulness. He is as real as they come. What you see is what you get. He wears his being on his sleeve. He will never mislead you for his benefit. He has a great concern for his clients which is the catalyst for his strong work ethic. I would definitely recommend Mr. Shaw to anyone who is trying to win their case. He works hard, is honest, transparent, knowledgeable, and responsive. He has a methodical approach about him that makes you feel safe and secure about his informed decisions. He is the best in the business!
Many qualities set Mr. Shaw apart. He has incredible attention to detail, time management, great communication, he is humble, and easy to approach. Mr. Shaw likes to speak with his clients and family members himself. We do not need to call his office, we call his personal cellphone and email him, we like that we feel this connection with the attorney. He is so patient, we would ask the same question over and over again and he would not be bothered to repeat and help us understand the process. Mr. Shaw is not business as usual like most attorneys. He feels as part of our family. He doesn't push us away, he is not rushed to get off the phone when we are constantly calling him. He worries about our family's emotional well being. He never hides the negative or the positive, but he explains everything honestly so there is no confusion or misunderstanding. I would recommend Mr. Shaw 100%.
Robert Shaw represented me in a very serious murder case where I was wrongfully convicted and won. I was sentenced to life in prison. He was very strategic and efficient. He put 110% into every aspect of my case. He was open minded to my thoughts and broke down each issues effortlessly. The first word that comes to mind when I think of him is integrity. His heart is in his work. It's not just a job or career. He truly cares about his client and fights for them to get justice.
I highly and whole heartily recommend Robert Shaw Jr. as an attorney. Our experience with him was positive from the first moment we consulted him. He was attentive, thorough and helpful during times that were extremely difficult for me and my family. He is one of the most knowledgeable, skilled, hardworking and compassionate people I have ever met. From the first time we met Robert Shaw, Jr. we knew he was different from any other attorney. His interest in the case and how much he already knew by the first time we met was impressive. Our trust and respect over the time that he had the case only grew stronger and stronger. He would look you in the eyes and tell you the truth, always returned our phone calls quickly and effectively, and kept us informed. He always got a call back within a few hours when we called him. Always prepared in court and in filing motions and briefs. Robert handled an appeal after a conviction of first degree murder and a sentenced to life in prison without parole at the age of 21. I have worked with many lawyers since I work in law enforcement and I have never worked with an attorney like Robert Shaw, Jr. This man was born to be a defense attorney. He stands so proud on the side of justice and you feel that you are definitely not alone against the system when injustice knocks at your door. Fortunately, Robert was able to get the conviction overturned and the entire case dismissed. However even if things had not gone the way we hoped we would have felt good in the sense that we knew we got the best possible defense attorney to stand by us to undo the injustice that sometimes takes place in the criminal justice system. My family and I will forever be in debt with Robert Shaw, Jr. God bless him and take care of him. Men like him are not born every day.

He has treated us as family. I love Mr. Shaw. He fought and didn't hold back anything, he went to war in that courtroom. I feel so safe with him. I can't believe I met a lawyer like him. I am forever so thankful. Everything he said he was going to do he did, and then more. I only dreamed to find an attorney like him. And my dream came true. God sent Mr. Shaw to help us and he did just that. He is the best!
