Shaw Law Ltd. can meet practically any legal need that a person or family can encounter over the course of a lifetime. We handle divorces, criminal defense, real estate transactions and civil litigation on all kinds of issues. We can draft wills, trusts and powers of attorney, then later assist with the administration of the estate.

Our versatility and close engagement with our clients throughout the Northern Collar counties represents an important strength of our practice. If we’ve handled one problem for you in the past, you can call upon us with confidence for a different problem years later. To learn how you can benefit from the wide scope of our attorneys’ experience and legal insights, contact Shaw Law Ltd. for a free in-office consultation in Waukegan.
