Reviews

I hired Shaw Law Group working with Bridgett and her partner to gain legal advisement on educational law issues, and I had a similar experience as another person who wrote a review. I spent $400 on tasks I could have completed on my own or had already done on my own. They detailed what they did for the $400 I paid for services, which gave me a few new pieces of information but overall very little that I wouldn't have already discovered on my own. It was only my second time ever needing legal advisement, and it subpar, where I've had much more luck with free legal advisement services and greater care/customer service. It seemed that they lacked the confidence to direct a case or advisement successfully and didn't really want to be involved, but of course, they could accept money. I needed sound navigation advisement, which was not given, only that I was dealing with "good ole boy, good ole girl" education issues. That's not what you pay legal advisement for, especially in a place where it is important to navigate culture and legalities. I received a parking ticket while on a visit to one of their locations, which they paid, likely because they probably already sensed my disappointment in their services. I was appreciative, but it just seemed to reiterate the wasted time and money aspect. I was in email conversations back and forth on topics, but would be pushed off because I had reached a limit to what they could do with what I paid for services. I believe the tasks completed would have been worth no more than $100-200 of their time at best. I would not recommend these lawyers as they seem to lack confidence and sound legal advisement for important situations, especially in areas where you are spending a considerable amount of money on education services where you need answers. Like in a previous review, I'm sharing my experience to help prevent others from spending money on services you don't receive for the money you pay. With a few minutes on the phone in correct advisement, I could have done what they did for me myself. Disappointing.

Bridget was hired as a consulting attorney to determine the best school for my children. She took 9 months to basically do a phone interview with a handful of people, cost me over $3000 to do so , then came out with an opinion anyone could have made reading a parent magazine. My children are both special needs and I really was counting on Bridget to make a well informed, insightful, thorough decision. I am a teacher by profession so when I read her report I was devastated. She did not choose the school I felt and still feel was appropriate for my kids but I could have lived with that if she had really shown she had worked hard to come to her decision. We all really want to have faith in our legal system and rely on people like Bridget to take our cases seriously. When I take my kids to the doctor, have my car fixed, or even send them to school everyday, I trust they are with the best, most professional, hard worhing expert in that field. I am spending time writing this review because I'm hoping to prevent another parent and/or person from this experience. There are so many other attorneys out there who really do care and really will work hard to guide and council.

Jacob successfully took over our Chapter 11 bankruptcy case when the original law firm we contracted with totally dropped the ball. His professional attitude and calm and efficient demeanor guided us through what could have been a much more agonizing process. He and his staff worked out a settlement which was actually better than my most optimistic expectation.

We met Jacob in 2009 when we were trying to receive all the promised reduced loan help for the major Banks (BOA). We were told by these institutions that the only way to have the banks work with us was to get behind in our payments in other words trash our credit. So after 40 years of perfect credit never being late on any kind of a payment we stooped making our mortgage payments. We this just starting the barrage of phones calls. Anywhere from 10 to 15 a day. At this point we sought legal representation. We met with Jacob who instilled trust, confidence, and the belief that we could survive this nightmare and even come out ahead. Jacob very clearly explained the course of action we should take and held our hand through the very scary process of the bankruptcy nightmare. We were able to Keep the income producing properties while cramming down the amount owed and allowing the lending institutions to take back the properties that were not performing. It is my belief that we came out way ahead of the game but we owe the success to Jacob. I would highly recommend him.

Jacob was very knowledgeable and very nice to work with on my case. He always kept me informed of what was going on and what to expect. My case was not anything easy by far and Jacob and his team worked really hard to win my case for me. I would recommend Jacob to anyone.

Jacob treated my case with professionalism and knowledge of the law. He made the process understandable and had the patience to explain the information in terms I could understand. He really cared about getting me the best outcome given my financial situation. I have recommended him to several friends and family members. Redmond, WA

Jacob treated my case with professionalism and an extensive knowledge of the law. His patience and ability to convey the law in terms I could understand are also very important skills for any lawyer to have. I would recommend Jacob to anyone needing his services.
