Ken Shakeshaft and his office have helped me in every situation, whether it’s a car accident or work related! If you need a fantastic attorney who works hard for you, it’s Ken! He is honest and up front with clients, promises nothing but comes up big for us! I wish everyone that had issues, car accidents, etc would give Ken Shakeshaft a try, you won’t be disappointed!! Thank you for all help you have given me!!

Ken Shakeshaft was an exceptional attorney throughout our multi-year case. He was patient, thorough, and consistently professional. Ken kept us informed at every stage, ensuring we always understood what was happening and what to expect next. He took the time to educate us on how the legal process works in our state, which gave us confidence and clarity during an otherwise stressful experience. We are truly grateful for his guidance and expertise, and we highly recommend him to anyone seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable attorney.

I have worked with Mr. Ken Shakeshaft for over 10 years and have consistently received expert guidance and support for my case. He has extensive knowledge of my workers’ compensation case and clearly explains his strategy for moving forward. His straightforward approach is exactly what you need in a successful lawyer. He worked tirelessly with my medical Doctor, ensuring that my files were up to date at a moment's notice. Over the years, whenever an issue arose with my case, I could quickly contact Mr. Shakeshaft, and he would resolve it in a timely manner. I never felt that my concerns were dismissed or too minor to discuss with him or his capable office staff. One person who also stands out in his office is Cindy Maddox. If I cannot talk to Mr. Shakeshaft (he is in court or with a client, etc.), the next person who is more than capable of handling any concern I may have is Cindy Maddox. She listens and gets to the bottom of my problems within minutes. If she cannot help me, it will automatically go to Mr. Shakeshaft no further questions asked. Mr. Shakeshaft’s right arm is Cindy Maddox and I am blessed to have both of them on my side. If you are hesitant about obtaining an attorney for your case, look no further — your number one law firm is right here awaiting your call.

Ken helped me through a brutal multi-surgical recovery after a car accident. He helped me navigate the insurance jungle of medical insurance and car insurance. This left me with just having to focus on my recovery. When it came time for my settlement, I was more than happy with the financial recovery I recieved. Using a good lawyer like Ken isn’t all about the amount of money you get. It’s about knowing you have a partner to guide you through the process, from start to finish. I highly recommend Ken to anyone hurt like I was in a auto accident!

Ken Shakeshaft helped me with my appeal of a disability claim denial - not only did he get the claim approved so that I received a monthly disability check, but then managed to get the disability date pushed back so that I received an additional one-time payment from the insurance company. Ken is laid-back and very personable and I can totally recommend him.

Man where do I start, well let me first say this when you have reached the end and think there's no help out there, please let me be the one to say hold on just a bit longer and give mr shakesaft and his crew a chance you will not be sorry. Man I have used them a few times and I couldn't be more grateful 🙏🏿 or blessed. They are there are their for you from start to finish and then some. There are more than fare on payment they are there to help and not drain your pockets as he is there to help fill your pockets and there's no greater feeling. All I can say is stop searching and make this call if you want to be done right that is. And you talk about quick to they get on it no messing around make that call let the great be great for you.

Ken Shakeshaft is awesome! If one doesn't seek legal representation, an insurance company, who shall remain unnamed, will attempt to EAT you regardless of the contract; they smell weakness, and will pounce if one doesn't have legal representation. I may put the name of the insurance company in this review if they F**k with me more later if they don't take me out first. The unethical insurance companies don't pounce like a cute mountain lion; they actually attempt to destroy you, which is legal somehow. I was terrified. And, even with legal representation, I ended up with the short end of the stick...an arbitrary date that doesn't make sense, but is legal somehow. Subsequently, I've placed my life into Ken's very trustworthy hands and have no regrets. I highly recommend Ken and his staff. Please take heed; retain legal representation immediately. There is a short time limit when dealing with dishonorable insurance companies, which, again, is legal somehow. If one doesn't stand up, one doesn't stand a chance when dealing with these unscrupulous insurance companies. It's astounding. and disgusting to me that insurance companies can legally pull the tricks they do if one does not have competent legal representation. So, lawyer up with Shakeshaft and Gorman representation or be legally eaten alive and/or destroyed!

Shakeshaft and Gorman were above and beyond on all fronts. Both attorney's and their staff are professional but personal, diligent, kind and funny. They always put me at ease, kept me abreast of what was transpiring and took care of everything to reduce my stress and anxiety while going through the process. They are extremely knowledgeable and truly care about people. I've referred several people to them and will continue to do so while speaking highly of them. They were also kind to refer me to an estate planning lawyer who was above the board like they are.

Ken Shakeshaft, Provided Superior Customer Service as my attorney in my W/C injuries claim. He and his Staff are the Local Team to choose.

Compensated with respect Excellent communication skills. Was given the time and attention I personally needed, as well as the time and attention my case needed. After being rear ended I called up the office and felt like they put everything else on hold to focus on me. We quickly got appointments to be evaluated and to make a treatment plan. When I had questions Ken and his office went above and beyond during Covid to accommodate face time and zoom calls, or quick texts. There was a point when I didn’t like the doctor I was working with and in less than an hour I had appointments with another office who made me feel comfortable. After three months I have no out of pocket medical expenses and we are working for a fair compensation. I feel respected and valued, I feel trust in the process laid out for me, and in the action taken to follow that plan. 10/10 would recommend to anyone

Conscientious, highly skilled, strategic litigator I worked with Ken on a case where he demonstrated advanced strategic litigation competency while embodying strong advocacy skills in negotiations, and dealing with adversary counsel. His attention to detail and client goals was exemplary.

Very Detailed I have consulted with Mr. Shakeshaft on numerous issues. He is very detailed in the reviews and opinions that I requested, I have also referred numerous people for his assistance with their legal situations. They have been well represented.

personal injury claim review I have had the pleasure of having Mr Shakeshaft represent me a few times over the past 15+ years. He and his office staff has always provided excellent communication each step along the way in getting my issues with insurance companies resolved. While some TV Atty's espouse how much they have gotten prior clients (with disclaimers at the bottom of their ad's), Mr Shakeshaft and his team has always provided realistic expectations in what I should expect in resolution of my cases. His ability to get insurance companies to live up to their responsibilities helped get my issues resolved in a expedient time frame.
