Certified Financial Litigator Badge

MANAGING PARTNER

Andrew M. Shaw, Esq.

I am a graduate of Georgetown Law, which is one of the highest ranked law schools in the nation. I was selected to the New Jersey Super Lawyers list as a “Rising Star” in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021, and I have completed the coursework and passed the examination necessary to be qualified as a Certified Financial Litigator by the AACFL. I have developed my legal skills working for Justice Helen E. Hoens of the New Jersey Supreme Court and as a judicial law clerk to three Somerset County Superior Court Judges in the Family Part: Honorable Margaret Goodzeit, P.J.F.P.; Honorable Anthony F. Picheca, Jr., J.S.C.; and Honorable Michael F. O’Neill, J.S.C. I am a member of Mensa, and my scholarly articles have been published in the New Jersey Law Journal, the Georgetown Journal on Poverty Law & Policy, and the American Bar Association’s Minority Trial Lawyer Newsletter.

But my credentials should not be the reason you retain me. You should retain me because I am aggressive, and I will fight tooth and nail for you and your family. You should retain me because I am strategic, and we will work together from day one to ensure your case is litigated with the forethought and planning necessary to success. You should retain me because I am responsive; I will ensure that each of your questions is answered and that you will always understand: (1) what is happening in your case; (2) why it’s happening; and (3) what to expect next.

If you require someone with the skill and dedication to advocate effectively on your behalf, I am ready.
