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 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.
