About Jaclyn M.
Jaclyn M. Shaw built her path to law starting in Pittsburgh. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of Pittsburgh in 2012 and completed a paralegal certification at Duquesne University the same year. She returned to Pitt for law school and received her Juris Doctor in 2016.
Her early training as a paralegal informed how she approaches legal problems. The combination of undergraduate study, paralegal work and a law degree gave her a practical perspective on case preparation and client communication. Those years also anchored her in Western Pennsylvania, where she has worked and joined local legal institutions.
Shaw began practicing in the wake of her J.D. She has been a member of the Somerset County Bar Association since 2016 and joined the Allegheny County Bar Association in 2019. Those memberships reflect steady involvement in the regional bar community and keep her connected to continuing legal education and local court developments. She is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania.
Over time she has handled a range of matters typical of a small-firm practitioner. Her background as a paralegal and as an attorney informs how she staffs cases and manages files. She favors clear explanations for clients and practical planning for litigation risks and deadlines. Colleagues describe her work style as methodical and attentive to procedural detail.
Shaw opened the Law Offices of Jaclyn M. Shaw to provide direct representation outside a large firm structure. The office handles client intake, case strategy and court filings from a single point of contact. Working in a smaller practice allows her to supervise each stage of a matter personally and coordinate with local courts and agencies in Pennsylvania.
Outside the office she participates in county bar activities and attends educational programs offered through those groups. She maintains ties to the Pittsburgh legal community where she studied and trained. Her record shows a steady progression from paralegal certification to law school and into active practice.
Her current practice at the Law Offices of Jaclyn M. Shaw centers on advising and representing clients in matters arising under Pennsylvania law.
