This office is quite wonderful and Tia is the best! Before I contacted Tia, I felt as if I was out of options and there wasn't anything I could do.

I have to say I’ve dealt with a few lawyers over the years, however most of the time, they are too busy and do not necessarily give you the time, that may be needed to go over everything. Mr. Lee Shaw, well he was willing to go the extra mile for me. He took the time to go over every single detail in arranging mine and my mothers wills, and also the POA for my mom and her estate. His staff especially Shannon, is fantastic, very amiable and astute! If I could give more stars I absolutely would, 5 stars is not enough!!
