Atty James Shea was so easy to work with. He was extremely responsive and efficient in writing up a contract for our business. We had a really tight deadline…and he really came through for us! Afterwards, we had some questions about another upcoming project, and he again was very quick to respond and offer guidance. Highly recommend.

Attorney Shea and his highly professional staff offered me patient, clear and concise advice and direction throughout my legal process. When I asked questions, they addressed them in a timely manner and always got back to me quickly with the answers I sought. I confidently refer friends, family and colleagues seeking similar services to his firm because I am so pleased with the caliber of service I received that I am sure they will receive the same.

Attorney James Shea has helped us several times. I won’t get into what he did for us but both times, he fought hard, was fair, helpful and understanding of our situation. He is discreet and knowledgeable. He is one of those good lawyers that will be honest and forthright and explains any situation. I recommend him for most anything.
