Don Shaw Law, PLLC

Motivated to

Help Others

Dealing with legal issues can be incredibly stressful. Having an advocate who appreciates your unique situation can make a significant difference. My experiences inform my perspective as a lawyer. As a military retiree, I understand the challenges service members and veterans face. I also have a daughter with special needs.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to help families and business owners in Virginia and beyond protect what they’ve built, settle what’s been left behind, and make sound decisions when it matters most. We handle estate planning, probate, guardianship, special needs planning, business law and intellectual property, all explained in plain language.

How We Can Help

Estate Planning: Wills, trusts, powers of attorney and health care documents that keep your decisions in your family’s hands.
 
Probate and Estate Administration: Guidance for executors and families through the Virginia probate process, from qualifying at the courthouse to closing the estate.
 
Guardianship and Conservatorship: Help protecting an aging parent or an adult child who can no longer make decisions on their own.
 
Special Needs Planning: Plans that provide for a loved one with a disability without putting SSI or Medicaid at risk.
 
Business Law and Litigation: Forming and structuring your company, contracts, buying or selling a business, and business disputes when they arise.
 
Intellectual Property: Trademarks and protection for your business name, logo and creative work.
 
 
 

You’ve worked hard to get where you are today; to build the life, home, and family you have. Throughout our lives, we are confronted with unexpected challenges that threaten to put the results of our life’s journey at risk. Facing those issues can be incredibly stressful. Having an advocate who appreciates your unique situation can make a significant difference.

We work hard to help clients in every situation, taking care to put complex legal issues into easily understandable language. We take great pride in developing real connections with clients; treating everyone with respect and spending time to make sure that they fully understand the process they are going through. When you need counsel on a major, life-impacting decision, you deserve an attorney who will listen to you, thoroughly examine the facts, and help you work toward the best possible solution for you, your family, and your future.

There’s no need to handle these difficult matters of law alone. We are here to help.
