Our Practice Areas

At Shields Law, we represent individuals, families, and businesses throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey in a variety of legal matters. Whether you've been injured because of someone else's negligence or need experienced legal counsel to protect your business or property rights, we're committed to providing responsive service, practical advice, and strong advocacy.

Truck Crashes

Collisions involving commercial trucks often result in devastating injuries and complex legal claims. We investigate the accident, identify all responsible parties, and work to hold trucking companies and insurers accountable for the harm they've caused.

Slip or trip and fall incidents

Property owners have a responsibility to maintain reasonably safe premises. If dangerous conditions caused you to slip, trip, or fall, we can help determine whether negligence played a role and pursue compensation for your injuries.

Car Crashes

A car crash can leave you facing medical bills, lost wages, and uncertainty about what comes next. We help injured drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and cyclists pursue compensation from negligent drivers and insurance companies so they can focus on recovery.

Corporate/business collections

Unpaid accounts can disrupt your business and affect your bottom line. We represent businesses seeking efficient, cost-effective collection of commercial debts through negotiation, litigation, and enforcement of judgments.

Motorcycle Crashes

Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable to serious injuries caused by careless drivers. We fight to ensure injured riders receive fair treatment and pursue the compensation they deserve for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Eminent Domain Taking

When the government seeks to acquire private property for a public project, property owners have important legal rights. We represent homeowners, businesses, and landowners in eminent domain matters to help ensure they receive the full and fair compensation the law provides.

Wrongful Death 

No legal action can replace the loss of a loved one. A wrongful death claim may help families recover compensation for financial losses and hold negligent parties accountable. We provide compassionate guidance while pursuing justice on behalf of surviving family members.

Property Tax Assessment Appeals

If you believe your commercial or residential property has been overassessed, you may be paying more in property taxes than necessary. We represent property owners in assessment appeals and work to obtain fair and accurate valuations.
