Matthew Gilbert Shaw

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...ut of his busy day not only to take my phone call but answered the many questions I had.

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 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.

I was referred to Mr. Shaw by a family member for child support case. He was straight forward and told me what the law was and what to/not expect. After I retained his services I wasn't disappointed. I found he is well respected by the Court and his peers. Anytime a friend/family needs a referral ...I direct them to Matt. I recently referred my daughter, that retired from the military, although he could not handle her case (jurisdiction) he personally got back to her immediately. She was then able to move forward looking into other resources. When time and money is imperative that is very important quality.
