Gregory S. Shields


Bio:
Gregory Shields is an experienced civil trial attorney licensed to practice in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. 
For the first act of his career, he worked as an insurance defense attorney for several insurance carriers, and became well versed in how those companies work and value cases. In 2012, he left and founded the Law Offices of Gregory S. Shields LLC with a focus on practicing law "the right way;" standing up for those who do not have a voice, and whom he had seen were too often taken advantage of because they did not have aggressive representation. Gregory's focus is always making sure clients are involved and informed every step of the way and that our team obtains the best possible result from defendants who are only concerned with saving money - not properly compensating those who have been injured and wronged. 

Now celebrating its tenth year, the law firm has earned millions of dollars in recoveries for clients and has obtained many awards along the way, along with testimonials from dozens of satisfied people. Under his supervision, the firm has repeatedly been awarded as having a rating of "10 Best Client Satisfaction." Gregory has been named as a top attorney in Pennsylvania and one of the top trial lawyers in Pennsylvania. He lives in nearby Springfield with his wonderful wife and their two children, where he has volunteered as a youth sports coach and cub scout leader.

In 2014, Gregory became of Counsel to the firm of Mills & Edwards, LLP and works exclusively on that firm's matters in Pennsylvania.
