Robert W. Shaw, Esq.
A Trusted Advisor for Every Stage of Your Life

There is a difference between a lawyer who simply draws up legal documents and a trusted attorney and advisor who helps protect you and plan for your future. Life doesn't operate within strict guidelines. Nor does it take place between 9 and 5. This is why, when you come to me, you'll find non-traditional hours, a diversity of legal services, and a law practice that genuinely goes above and beyond what you might expect.

With over 30 years experience in the legal profession, I have the ability to ask the right questions in order to reveal areas that need attention. For instance:

• Do you need a trust? Do you need a power of attorney? Do you need both? I’ll help answer those questions.
• Who should handle your assets and care for your children in the event of your death? Do you have a current Last Will & Testament that covers all contingencies?
• Who will make medical decisions for you in the event of an accident or illness? I’ll help you prepare an appropriate Health Care Proxy.
• How will you pay for in-home care or an assisted living facility if it becomes necessary? Who will help you research and arrange for a move to a nursing home if your family lives far away? Do you need help selling a current residence should such a move become needed?
• Is your retirement plan secure or are you at risk of losing your savings?

With hours and services that are customized to suit you, I truly work with your schedule and needs, so we can meet at mutually convenient times. In addition, I will gladly visit your home or office.

Services are available within five primary categories, including:
