They are top-notch in billing hours and making excuses for depositions, extra discovery, long-winded questions requiring long-winded answers because at the end of the day Paul Shaw only appears about charging clients as much as possible. Incredibly condescending and unprofessional who charges quite a steep rate to his clients. If you are looking for REAL legal support in your moment of need I would encourage you to go elsewhere because the only thing you are going to receive from Paul Shaw is a massive legal bill. With all the attorneys in the Birmingham area, there are much much better options for representation in family law. And do not believe any of the "Best Lawyers in BHM" stuff that Paul Shaw seems to always be apart of when they are published. Those are merely paid advertisements. He certainly isn't the best, nowhere near it. And for what you pay for his representation you could do much better.

Mr Shaw had more than one plan for any possibility. Communication was top-notch - I consistently heard from an attorney or a superb paralegal if I needed anything or had a question; I was copied on all correspondence and always knew the status of our case and our plans. I felt that billing was fair and consistent and I wasn't nickled-and-dimed. The firm was well worth every dollar spent. In the end, I was well represented and recommend the firm without any hesitation.

They were dedicated to helping me get my claim approved and were prompt in returning my emails and phone calls; even after hours!

Danny Feldman helped me navigate and avoid some early pitfalls dealing with two insurance companies…read moreregarding Underinsured Motorist (UIM) and Bodily Injury (BI) insurance. I suffered a pretty tragic injury, and with less than a clear head, I was trying to deal with these companies. My own insurance company lied to me about how UIM works and the amount of money available. Danny took the time and communicated with me about the process and came to a better than expected settlement between the two automotive insurance companies and my personal health insurance - who had footed the bill for my care. I highly recommend this firm if you find yourself in need of representation. For my case, I had nothing out of pocket.

We had never used an attorney before, but we are so thankful we did. It was a complicated case, and they fought for us, and got her 2 settlements so that she could not only purchase another car, but was also compensated for medical bills and the emotional toll of missing most of the last semester of her senior year in high school. He is an excellent attorney, and I would recommend him to anyone!

When I met with Brett, it was two days before my court date. I had an attorney but was due to…read more'renew'. I decided not to move forward with my previous attorney because I did not get the communication and thoroughness I needed for my case. Because of this experience, I researched, called and spoke to every attorney that I could find in the area, even looked up to see if they had any issues with the state. I visited with and spoke to over 10 different attorneys. Luckily, through a referral I was introduced to Brett two days before my court date. Because of the timing I needed to make a decision fast, Brett went out of his way to meet me on his day off on a Sunday. (Literally, what attorney does that?) Looking back, I knew the other attorneys lacked the vigor and passion I was looking for and that's why I waited. Brett has the vigor and passion for his work. I asked him if he could handle my case if it went to trial, the thrill in his voice and eyes almost scared me LOL (He is definitely born for this job.) Thankfully, my case never went that far but most of the time, the average person is under this assumption that most attorneys are smart and can do the job. WRONG! I had seemingly smart, polite and well-spoken attorneys tell me that I had to settle for an agreement that was unfavorable in many ways. They wanted the easy way out in my opinion. I knew that was not the right answer for me. Brett has the courage to fight for what is right, which many attorneys lack courage. He also has the wisdom and strategic approach to get the best results. Additionally, he is extremely sharp, smart, witty, matter of fact, tactful, responsive, strong work ethic, has integrity, a winning mentality, well respected and has great relationships. I would recommend him 1 million percent. Hands down, the best attorney in his area of expertise in Alabama. You also need to do your part in providing him the information he needs to be successful in your case. Do your part so he can do his! Also, follow the rules, keep him updated and give him the information he needs in a precise manner so he has the information do what he needs to. His staff is also super responsive and so easy to work with. My case didn't move at all, then when it got to Brett, it started moving quickly. This is where many attorneys or their staff can screw it up by missing paperwork etc, thank goodness Brett and his staff are on top of things. He literally changed my life. Brett is not the cheapest attorney you will find at all but he is the BEST attorney! If you want the best, call Brett. He is truly a gift from God!
