Christopher Shaw, Esquire

Attorney Chris Shaw brings more than 16 years of litigation experience and an unwavering commitment to fighting for those who have been wronged. As a personal injury and civil litigation attorney at RHINO Lawyers, Chris takes on powerful insurance companies and negligent parties, aggressively pursuing the compensation and accountability his clients deserve.

Chris began his legal career as an Assistant Public Defender in Tampa, where he developed his courtroom skills fighting for individuals who needed a strong voice in their corner. That experience forged the tenacity, strategic mindset, and fearless approach to litigation that define his practice today.

With extensive knowledge of Florida traffic laws, accident liability, and the complexities of civil litigation, Chris knows how to challenge insurance company tactics, build compelling cases, and fight back when insurers attempt to minimize or deny legitimate claims. He understands that behind every case is a person whose life has been disrupted—and he approaches that responsibility with intensity, preparation, and determination.

Chris’s commitment to advocacy began long before joining RHINO Lawyers. Graduating near the top of his law school class, he also earned the prestigious William F. Bleu’s Pro Bono Service Award for his litigation work helping disadvantaged children obtain desperately needed wheelchairs.

At RHINO Lawyers, Chris brings that same fighting spirit to every case. He doesn’t believe injured clients should be intimidated, pressured into unfair settlements, or forced to accept less than what their claims are worth.
