Matthew Scott Shahon

This man was appointed as minors counsel for my case. He met with my children twice over a nearly three year battle. He met with the father of the children and their attorney several times yet refuses counsel from the children he represents, their therapist or mother’s attorney. My oldest and the ot...hers have experienced a lot of trauma during their times with father. Medical records and therapists have entitled the expressions of their experiences as “traumatic”. Without investigating or meeting with these professionals he has deemed these professionals’ and my children’s-words as holding no credibility. The only time in all of the years he supposedly “represented” my children/ that he even tried to talk with the children’s therapists was for no more than five minutes DURING the last court hearing! The therapist for my children had many words to speak and was trying to be cooperative and helpful for her clients but was not able to speak on their behalf. When my son tried to express fear and reasons for why he wanted less time with his dad, my son was shamed and educated on why my son’s thoughts were unacceptable. I spent thousands of dollars for this man to fight for their father’s rights and against the desires and wishes of my children. He called CPS on my case (information only he and my attorney had was discovered in the CPS files), denied it in court and blamed me for antagonizing and calling CPS to investigate their father.
