About James
James Shaw is an attorney licensed to practice in New Hampshire. He earned a bachelor’s degree in American Studies from Keene State College in 2007, then completed his legal education at Barry University, receiving his J.D. in 2010. Those academic years gave him a mixture of liberal arts context and formal legal training.
After law school Shaw established his own practice. He is the founder of the Law Office of James Shaw, PLLC, a firm that bears his name and serves clients in New Hampshire. Over time he has built a practice that centers on providing direct counsel and representation at the state level.
Shaw maintains current professional memberships and remains active in the legal community. He participates in the kinds of bar and association activities that keep a solo or small-firm practitioner connected to shifts in state law and procedure. That engagement helps him keep pace with changes in court rules and local administrative practices.
Colleagues describe Shaw as pragmatic in his approach to cases. He tends to favor clear analysis and straightforward advocacy. His practice emphasizes practical solutions—drafting documents, advising clients on procedural choices, and representing them where hearings or negotiations are required. He handles matters under New Hampshire law and works directly with clients to identify priorities and next steps.
Shaw’s path from Keene State College to Barry University and then into private practice reflects a steady, deliberate route into law. He has chosen the independent route of running a small firm rather than joining a large, multi-office operation. That choice shapes how he structures client relationships and manages work across differing legal matters.
The Law Office of James Shaw, PLLC operates as a small, client-facing practice. Shaw oversees the work and often serves as the primary point of contact for clients. The office model allows him to control case strategy and maintain continuity from initial intake through resolution.
He currently practices law through the Law Office of James Shaw, PLLC, serving clients in New Hampshire.
