About Shea Law
Shea Law is a Michigan-based firm described in its materials as Michigan’s premier estate planning and litigation firm, with a national profile in complex litigation and a strong reputation for estate planning. For more than two decades, Shea Law has served Michigan residents with accessible and affordable estate planning and litigation services. The firm emphasizes deep empathy and deep expertise, aiming to guide clients through meaningful decisions by listening rather than prescribing, with a result-oriented approach that prioritizes customized counsel over formulaic advice. In addition to its estate planning practice, the firm has been involved in high-stakes disputes, including leading federal class action work on behalf of Michigan residents in the Michigan Tax Equity matter, where David Shea was appointed lead counsel and the case secured a $40 million settlement against Michigan counties. The firm has also collaborated with former Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox to hold the University of Michigan accountable for the sexual abuse of students and student-athletes by its team physician, culminating in a $470 million settlement for the survivors. These matters illustrate Shea Law’s capacity to handle significant, high-impact disputes while maintaining an emphasis on predictable, client-centered planning for families. The materials describe the firm as dedicated to guiding families and individuals through lifecycle events—from estate planning to probate—consistent with its mission to provide sophisticated legal strategies that remain accessible to Michigan residents.
