Full Page Coverage on Y. Jessie Shaw “She Knows courtroom Drama” Los Angeles times, April 8, 2002. She became a Certified Family Law Specialist in 2002, and is a member of the Association of Family & Conciliation courts. She came to the U.S. at age of 24 and she is the first Chinese Southern California lawyer who was certified by the State Bar of California, Board of Legal Specialization as a specialist in Family law. 

She tried approximately over 60 trials and over several hundred family law hearings. She has argued family law cases in California Courts of Appeal. She presented the mother at the trial level in H.S. v. Superior Court (2010, 4th District, Riverside) 183 cal. App.4th 1502. California Court of Appeals granted the petition for writ of mandate brought by a married couple to vacate the order for genetic testing and ruled the trial court erred when it ordered genetic testing in a paternity action when real party in interest had no standing as a presumed father other than a voluntary declaration of paternity that was executed and subsequently rescinded by a married woman. 

The highlights of her career include locating the child who had been abducted and hidden by one of the parents in overseas and/or U.S. and obtaining sole legal and physical custody orders after she recovered the child for clients. A number of her cases had been headline news in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
