Matt Shaw is not only a fantastic lawyer, he is an awesome HONEST person. When I contacted him the first question he asked was “have you exhausted every option to save your marriage”? That is a man who cares not only about his clients but cares about your situation. I contacted other lawyers before ...

Contacted Shaw Family Law just to ask questions and get a better understanding regarding a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. Mr. Shaw was very helpful addressing my concerns, and he wasn't even the original lawyer I used for my divorce from years ago. Really appreciated the fact he took the time o...

I contacted Shaw Family Law through their website to inquire about a letter I received from a different lawyer. Matt emailed me directly to ask for a copy of the letter and then reached out for a phone call. Matt spent twenty minutes discussing my situation and offering his opinion and advice. He ...

Do not be fooled by the initial call with Matt and his estimation of what the total costs will be. While I understood it was an estimate that could fluctuate (either way!) I was absolutely blown away when the cost was over double the estimate!! Mind you, my wife and I agreed on everything. We would ...
Steve, your email you have “no interest in talking with you” is a painful reminder you’re hurting and angry. We always return calls and I have left multiple messages. When you’ve responded our attorneys have spent time with you on the phone to answer all of your questions, even after the divorce (no charge). You described your spouse as “emotional and manipulative” and that she was moving out. She and her attorney were not agreeable, but we were able to help get you divorced pretty quickly at substantial savings. There was no estimate given, so you may have spoken with other attorneys before retaining us. We even provided you with credits and some free services. We recognize that you may not have had time to process the divorce and everything that your spouse had put you through, and it may be frustrating that she was not as cooperative as you had hoped. My offer of lunch or coffee, and sincere desire to hear you out stands. We wish you peace and healing.
