Matthew Gilbert Shaw

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 ...work things out, send it to them and through either confusion or ineptitude the issue would get dragged on and on. Quick questions would be answered with a full letter on letterhead (to be billed, of course) I outlined the specific issues in which they had billed me for time that they needed because they were confused about something we had already dealt with. I asked mr. Shaw to review these issues. All he did was avoid my calls and get his lawyer (the one that overbilled) to call me. You have been warned!

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 ...asked good questions to better understand my problem and patiently suggested what I could do to remedy the conflict on my own without a lawyer. He made sure I understood my options and that I felt safe moving forward. I found Matt to be personable, thoughtful, and warm in his interaction with me. Should my situation escalate, I feel confident in retaining his services.

Speedy process and reduced stress were crucial factors for me when I started looking for legal services. Matt and his staff were extremely professional and attentive, addressing my concerns and questions constantly and patiently. Working with Shaw Family Law was one of the best decisions I have ever ...made in my life! My thanks and appreciation for their work and dedication!

I first hired Matt in 2018 to replace my previous lawyer who seemed less than motivated to do a thorough job with my legal separation case. As soon as Matt took over my case, he pointed out all of the things that should have been done correctly the first time. Once Matt finished cleaning up my previo...us lawyers mess, we took the case back in front of the judge for a ruling, and everything was ruled in our favor! I needed Matt's service's again in 2020 to get my child support reduced, and once again, Matt went above and beyond to make sure all of my questions and concerns were answered and dealt with. I am pleased to say we had yet another victory in court and my child support was reduced! Anytime I hear that somebody is seeking a good family lawyer, I never hesitate to refer them to Matt Shaw Family Law.
