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!

My sister was going through a very difficult divorce with her ex who was extremely conniving and abusive during the marriage. We had changed several attorneys , and the case had still not been finalized in 3 years! I lived in another state, my parents lived over seas, and my poor sister was left all ...alone to deal with this bad situation. Being a single mom with two little ones, she was thousands of dollars into attorney fees, not to mention the aggravation of dealing with the court system. Overwhelmed and disappointed, she did not know where to turn to. A family friend in Houston recommended Mr. Shaw to me several months ago.I was the one who spoke to Scott on the phone before my sister retained his services. It was the best decision we made!! Let me start by saying , Mr. Scott Shaw is brilliant at what he does!!! I was present inside the court room during our 1.5 day trial and I was very very impressed. He was articulate, to the point, made sure he addressed all the issues important to us, and with minimal words and perfect examples was able to portray my sisters ex as he was. He put up with no bullshit from the opposing attorney, who thought she came prepared with beautifully organized exhibits to present her clients case. But in his "organized" clutter, Scott was thorough, had all the important points, evidence and questions to represent our case, which in the end helped us win! Yes, he may seem rude or short at times. But trust me when I tell you, he is fantastic! I expect for my sisters ex to create problems for her in the future, but I also know who I will be calling up when that time comes. Scott, thank you for all you have done for us! My sister and her family are very grateful to you. Whoever is reading this review, give him a big hug after he wins your case for you. It's lovely to see the warmth and kindness in Scotts eyes when he sees how he's changed the life!! :)

Mr. Shaw was creative without being underhanded and we never felt as though we were being baited into protracted litigation. To his credit, he was effective in steering us away from arguments of lesser merit in favor of those that would have the greatest likelihood of success. That ability in turn l...ed to greater speed and accuracy in fulfilling our wishes and for a speedy outcome. I would, however, give anyone who finds themselves in need of legal representation the following advice: Mind your minutes and learn to be patient. Litigation isn't like the internet, it isn't facebook. Once you've settled on a course of action with your lawyer, let him or her handle the legalities. Constantly requesting a status update is the quickest way to deplete a retainer. Moreover, this can bog down your lawyer, keeping them off point. Limit your exchanges to only when there is a significant discrepancy or change in the circumstances of the case. Courts are slow. Learn to accept that and more of your money will go toward representation instead of responses.

"The mother of my child took off with my baby, Mr. Shaw took charge of the case, helped us with the use of private investigators to track down the baby, gathered the evidence we needed, and we won on every issue at the emergency hearing. Mr. Shaw knew what he was doing, was in charge of the situatio...n, and was thoroughly prepared and brilliant at the hearing. I can wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Shaw, and because of him my little girl is safe and I have her custody."
