Do not hire Matt!

Please save yourself thousands of dollars, unnecessary headache, mis-guidance and no good results. Seek counsel elsewhere and not with Matt Shahon. He is arrogant and expresses he 'runs the court' and gets you the short end of the stick. Matt does not work on your case until the 11th hour leading ...up to hearings and rushes you for information requests right before the hearing. Matt does not push back or contests opposing parties demands, even on reasonable requests. Matt does not enforce the opposing parties discovery, leaving you disadvantaged and settling just to get your case over with. I do not recommend retaining Matt, seriously. All you're left with is losing your case and thousands of dollars. Please, please, please look elsewhere. Also, Matt works closely with Gastelum law firm, Gallegos law firm, and with Kyle Puro law firm, so be very mindful of that. They are in cahoots with each other. Lastly, absolutely do not retain Matt for minors counsel, you will regret it.

High-Conflict Case

Matt Shahon is a straight-shooter, fair, smart, and can cut through the he said/she said and see what's really going on. He's skilled and knowledgeable, had a very good rapport with the Judge, never went back-n-forth with opposing counsel, always returned my calls. My case is on-going and Mr. Sh...ahon remains available for advice when needed. I would definitely refer Matt Shahon.

Very Professional and Highly Recommended

Hi hired Matt to fix the issues of my previous lawyer had caused. Matt exceeded all my expectations. He was very highly respected in the courtroom both by the judge and the opposing counsel. I highly recommend Matt.

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Shahon was minor's counsel in a family law matter. He sorted through the issues quickly and cost effectively, while fashioning a result that was in the best interest of the minor child. It was a pleasure working with him and I look forward to seeing him appointed on another case."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Mr. Shahon is an excellent family lawyer. We have often collaborated on civil cases, and I have assisted him with any criminal defense issues that arise in the context of his family law cases. Mr. Shahon has often gotten excellent results, even when his client was at a disadvantage. Mr. Shahon is a familiar fixture in the family law courts in Los Angeles County, and has an excellent reputation with the judges and commissioners who hear his cases. This is the family law attorney I would recommend for my own family and friends."
