The Shinn Law Firm, LLC

The Shinn Law Firm is a Cleveland-area practice led by attorney Maria Shinn, based in Lakewood.

The focus is estate planning, probate and estate administration, and elder law, with adoption and custody matters handled alongside. That pairing covers both ends of a family's legal life: securing a parent's relationship to a child at the start, and making sure the plan holds at the other end.

Elder law in particular is where an unprepared family gets caught out, because decisions about care, capacity and who is authorised to act need to be documented well before anyone needs to rely on them. Appointments can be booked online.
