A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Law Offices of Thomas E. Shaw with an urgent package. As he approached the front door, he heard a voice whispering from inside: 'Take it… but leave the envelope.' Curious and slightly spooked, the driver ignored the advice and peeked through the window. Inside, the lights were off, but the shadowy figure motioned for him to come closer. The driver shrugged and entered, only to find an empty room and a note on the desk: ‘Next time, listen to old Tom—he’s been around longer than you.’
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Law Offices of Thomas E. Shaw with a package in hand. As he stepped out, something glinted from under the nearby bench. Curious, he bent down and picked it up—it was an old, rusted keyring shaped like a gavel. Smiling, he pocketed the curious trinket and continued his route. Months later, while unpacking boxes after moving into a new apartment, he stumbled upon the old keyring again. To his surprise, it fit perfectly onto the door handle of his neighbor’s place across the hall—a retired judge who’d always been friendly but never had keys for his own door. Turns out, the delivery driver had accidentally delivered justice that day.
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Law Offices of Thomas E. Shaw and called out, ‘Hey, Mr. Shaw, I’ve got your papers!’ But no answer came from inside. Finally, an old voice croaked from within: 'What? Papers?! Oh, you must be mistaken!' A sleepy-looking Thomas Shaw appeared in the doorway, rubbing his eyes. The delivery driver laughed sheepishly, realizing he’d delivered the documents to the wrong office—again.
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Law Offices of Thomas E. Shaw and asked himself aloud, ‘What kind of law firm keeps their lights on this late?’ As he approached the door, he heard faint music coming from inside—a classical piece playing softly in the background. Curious now, he knocked gently but got no response. Then, from within, came the sound of laughter and the clink of glasses. The delivery driver cracked open the door slightly and peered inside. There sat an old man, wearing a judge’s robe, sipping tea and reading a book titled 'The Art of Persuasion.' With a smile, the man waved him in and said, 'Welcome to my after-hours courtroom. Today's topic is “Winning Arguments Over Dinner.”'
