Our family hired Bridget and team due to reviews and research online. We have been struggling with two of our grandsons IEP's and defiance from the school in helping or even getting their IEP's updated and reviewed properly, they are 10 and 7. There was bullying in which the oldest ended up at the Dr. office, a person threatening to "kill" him and consistent obstruction with his teacher. She would call him out in front of the class which caused more issues. The principle and vice principle were blaming all on him when in fact these issues where happening due to the school and the staff not conforming to his IEP from his previous school nor again updating in a timely manner. Once Bridget got involved and showed up to the IEP with us, things changed dramatically. She called out items I was not even aware of and held them and the district accountable. 3 meetings later with her in attendance at each we are in a much better place. I will continually update and keep her posted and on speed dial. She is just an amazing women and really in this position to help families and children and nothing else. Thank you Bridget !!

Bridget and the team at Shaw Law Group did an outstanding job of representing my family for our son's complex IEP. She quickly became familiar with our son's medical, therapeutic and schooling history. She took the time to understand our perspectives and what would be best for our son. And she represented us (both in communications and in meetings) in a way that ensured the best outcome for our son. I couldn't be happier with results. Thank you Bridget and team!

Shira is a really amazing lawyer. Over the course of a year, I was charged with 5 crimes in Seattle. All of it was bogus. Shira got 4 of the 5 charges totally dismissed, but the City of Seattle wanted to take the last charge to trial. After a two day full trial, the jury gave me an acquittal after only a few minutes of deliberation. Shira did a masterful job throughout the entire process in both negotiating with the city, as well as digging in to fight the hard fight in trial. She helped to save my business. I give her my highest recommendation.

We hired Bridget to represent us while appealing unreasonable disciplinary action imposed by a school's athletic director. We had never challenged the system before so it was very helpful to have legal representation, direction and advice. Bridget was professional and knowledgable in the area we hired her for. We ended up winning our case and I would recommend her services.

Shira represented me during a crisis. The man convicted of stalking me, who I had a protective order against, sought a retaliatory protective order against me after his incarceration. Although it was baseless, it was terrifying to now have to defend myself against false accusations. Luckily I didn’t have to do it alone. Shira was compassionate, knowledgeable, honest, and committed to helping me get justice. She had great follow-through in our communication so I was never left wondering. She was thorough in preparing a factual and evidenced defense; even though it seemed easy to defend against the allegations in a civil hearing, Shira diligently prepared me for all possible outcomes. The judge dismissed it. Shira is the Seattle-area defense attorney you want fighting for you when you’re facing your own crisis.

When Shira & I first went to court, I was offered a plea deal. Shira counselled me that she was confident she could get the case dismissed if I trusted her judgement. Not only did she go above and beyond to research & provide a stellar defense, she was able to get all the evidence in my case thrown out, she also worked with me on a payment schedule so that I could afford to pay $1,500 in vehicle registration fees before our court date while still being able to retain and gladly pay for her services. In my opinion Shira is one of the best Seattle Criminal Defense Lawyers.

Nice guy and got the job done on schedule. I would recommend him for any business or settlement negotiation.

I hired Bridget when my child was denied residency at UW. She was great to work with, really grasped the issues, and most importantly, we won our case.

Very honest person.

I have referred many clients to Valerie. In particular, I send people to her who are looking to hire someone who can give them pragmatic advice in a calm and efficient manner. She can handle everything from simple agreements to complex litigation.
