Shaw Law Firm was founded by Civil Litigation Attorney Carl D. Shaw after a 20-year practice as a lead attorney at O'Quinn Law Firm, one of the most recognized civil litigation and personal injury law firms in the nation. While at the O'Quinn Law Firm, Mr. Shaw obtained substantial recoveries using rigorous trial work and settlement strategies in national mass tort actions, serious negligence cases, toxic and environmental torts, large business litigation and tobacco company lawsuits, medical malpractice and wrongful death matters, among many other highly celebrated victories for voiceless business and individual victims of companies large and small.
