About the firm

Big-firm experience. Family-firm care.

Stephen Shaw Law Firm is a husband-and-wife practice built on a simple idea: people in difficult moments deserve a lawyer who knows them by name.

Our story

Steve Shaw was admitted to the Alabama Bar in 1980. After clerking for U.S. District Judge E.B. Haltom, Jr., he spent nearly four decades with Redden, Mills, Clark & Shaw, and later joined Wallace, Jordan, Ratliff & Brandt, LLC in 2020.

Along the way he represented public officials, witnesses, families, and businesses in some of the most serious federal and state matters in Alabama. Today, Steve practices alongside his wife, Christy, offering clients the depth of a seasoned trial lawyer with the attention of a small, family-run office.
