Scott Willis Shaw

Hired this attorney to handle a case and received nothing but papers being push back and forth with no movement towards going to court! When judge finally set a court date He had the nerve to ask for more money. Look for a better attorney That will actually go to court and fight for your rights! Wha...t a joke!

I hired Mr. Shaw because my ex was interfering with my visitation. Shaw was able to focus during an emergency hearing on the most important facts that would convey to the judge best what had been going on. He always made it clear to me that we can never predict a judges ruling, but he was able to p...resent crucial evidence in a quick and timely manner, as we were only allowed an hour in front of the judge. He was also able to emphasize the laws that my ex was breaking. He continues to give me great advise in my situation, and he continues to prepare me as we move forward with my case. He has given me a sense of peace, which is priceless. I highly recommend using him in any divorce, separation, child custody, or family law case.

In March, 2016 I went to two attorneys in the same office near where I lived. I had been served with a restraining order and, as you might expect, wanted it lifted. Each of the two lawyers, both he and she, said twice, that they were “100% sure” that the DeKalb county judge would make the order per...manent when we went to court. That’s where Scott Shaw came in. I told my best friend about my situation and he directed me to Scott since my friend had employed Scott a few years prior in his family law matter. My case involved my former wife and my 17-year-old daughter. Scott met me on a chilly Sunday morning, which I appreciated since time was of the essence. He said he couldn’t guarantee anything but that if the judge went by the law, the order would not be made permanent. It would come down to what the law requires and an attorney making clear that those requirements had NOT been met in my case. I liked his hopeful but realistic assessment and signed on with him. Before court, we met and communicated a few times. He “outlined” the case and when court came, he arranged the documents he had assembled neatly before him at our desk. He was fully prepared. But the question in legal matters always comes down to one, which is, “but what was the actual outcome” of the case which two attorneys had arrogantly asserted would not be in my favor? The restraining order, after Scott finished questioning me on the stand and cross-examining my accusers, was immediately and completely dismissed, essentially laughed out of court. Afterwards, other people in the court, having observed Scott’s masterful performance, asked him on the spot for his business card - right there in court! Scott saved the day for me and my relief and gratitude continue to be immense. You may want a “nice” attorney (which Scott is) or an attorney to make you feel good or an attorney to whine to or to sympathize with you. Whatever you are looking for in an attorney, one of that variety can be found. On the other hand, if you are looking for an attorney who can win, contact Scott Shaw since winning is what he is all about.

I was an emotional wreck because my ex had threatened to take my son out of the state against my will. I thought because he was my son's father that he could do it too. Scott informed me of my rights that I did not even know that I had. He immediately sprung into action and got an emergency order fro...m the court. He handled everything quickly and attentively while reassuring me through the process. I really am grateful for all that he did for my son and I. The end result was totally in my favor. I highly recommend him and thank him for his representation.
