Denisha is by far one of the best criminal defense attorneys around she handled my case professionally respectfully and diligently although I served a prison term she got me many many years take it off of my sentence that I would have got with a public defender, there is no way I'll be out today if it wasn't for her. If you have a criminal case involving multiple convictions prior or this is your first time in prison please give denise shaw a call she will get you through it.

Was appointed this lawyer and when I finally got hold of her, all I got was berated, and I mean just tore into me, as to why I wasn't in court. After I explained to her that I was not made aware of where the court was located but still drove the 259 miles on 4 hours of sleep in an attempt to make an appearance, she berated me some more for not showing, like I had said nothing at all. She offered no assistance. None at all. No advice. No recommendations, except for trying to get me to find another lawyer, Nothing. She did more defending for the case worker that failed to properly inform me of where the court was being held then she did for me. Made me wonder.... So if you like your attorney to treat you like a hostile witness for the opposing side and want no help or advice what so ever, hire her. If you want someone to be one your side, RUN elsewhere! And yes, I have already printed a California Attorney Complaint Form in order to report her to the bar to whom I have already spoken to about this. Hope this helps.

I was represented by Denise Shaw a few years ago when she was a partner at a well known defense attorney's office in my area. Ms. Shaw was very professional in her conduct with keeping me informed about what was going on with my case (a felony case including an alleged felony with a prior 1 strike). Ms. Shaw was able to get my felony reduced to a misdemeanor and I was given 3 years probation without serviing any confinement time or paying any heavy court fees. I will even be getting the record expunged when my probation period ends next year. Ms. Shaw was also very understanding in regards to having a $55,000 bail payment (10%) as well as the high cost of hiring a private attorney for a felony case, which was $20,000 at the time. Ms Shaw was so generous as to waive my remaining fees to her which was about $7,000 -$8,000. Thank you!
