Jeffrey Shaw | Valparaiso Personal Injury Lawyer

While attending law school at the Indiana University, Maurer School of Law, he was able to clerk with Henry Wade in Dallas, Texas, best known as the defendant in the famous Roe v. Wade abortion case and the Prosecuting Attorney of Jack Ruby for his murder of Lee Harvey Oswald in the days following the President Kennedy assassination. Attorney Shaw spent many days talking to Wade about Texas law and the importance of big cases. The experience was something he never forgot as he learned invaluable tips from the famous attorney on the practice of law and how to be someone a jury could trust. Soon after law school, Attorney Shaw followed in Mr. Wade's path and became a Deputy Prosecutor, where he tried 100+ of cases in front of juries and Judges in Indiana. He learned the sometimes tricky rules of evidence. More importantly, Shaw learned how to win the trust of a jury by being honest about the facts of the case. Later, he switched interests to helping people who got hurt by the fault of others. Attorney Shaw joined the largest insurance defense firm in Northern Indiana -- Spangler, Jennings & Dougherty, P.C. This gave him the opportunity to work for various insurance companies on all types of personal injury cases, such as State Farm Insurance Company, Farm Bureau Ins. Co., Allstate Ins. Co., Farmers Ins. Co., Progressive Ins. Co. and many others. He saw how the insurance companies treated people who were injured by the fault of others and he didn't like what he saw.
