Gregory S. Shields

Bio:
Gregory S. Shields is the founder of Shields Law and an experienced civil trial attorney who has represented clients throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey for more than 20 years.

Greg began his legal career representing insurance companies and their insureds in personal injury and civil litigation matters. That experience provided him with valuable insight into how insurance carriers investigate claims, evaluate cases, and negotiate settlements. Today, he uses that knowledge to advocate for individuals and families who have been injured through the negligence of others.

In 2012, Greg founded the Law Offices of Gregory S. Shields, LLC, (now Shields Law), with a simple mission: to provide skilled legal representation while treating every client with honesty, respect, and personal attention. He believes that clients should never be left wondering about the status of their case.

Clear communication, accessibility, and responsiveness are central to the firm's approach, and Greg is committed to ensuring every client remains informed and involved throughout the legal process.

Under Greg's leadership, Shields Law has recovered millions of dollars on behalf of injured clients. The firm has earned a reputation for thorough preparation, aggressive advocacy, and exceptional client service. Whether negotiating with insurance companies or litigating in court, Greg and his team work tirelessly to pursue the best possible outcome for every client.

Throughout his career, Greg has been recognized by numerous legal organizations for his professional accomplishments, trial advocacy, and commitment to client satisfaction. His recognitions include repeated selections for client satisfaction awards, trial lawyer honors, and attorney rating distinctions.

In addition to leading Shields Law, Greg serves as Of Counsel to Mills Legal, LLC.

Outside the office, Greg lives in Springfield, Pennsylvania, with his wife and two children. He is active in his community and has volunteered as a youth sports coach and Cub Scout leader.
