Douglas Lawrence Shaw

Well, I will give an honest review from my experience. I often feel people only post reviews to complain never give compliments or credit when it is due. But my father and I hired Mr. Shaw back in 2013 i want to say. He assisted me in establishing child support for my daughter who was a infant at the... time. He was through and very confident. On my court date we went in and he handled the matter very professionally. I would use him again to assist with a modification, but to my knowledge he has moved on and no longer handles family law. I do need to contact him some how to release my case. I am not sure if he has the same cell number or not. But maybe I will get a response to my review. But anyway, congratulations on moving up and on to new milestones.

Shaw was recommended to me by a few people as well as my fiance. First time meeting him...i wasnt impressed. He didnt care to any details of my case (my kids mom took my children and ran across the country and now wanted child support.) He couldn't give me any reason why I shouldnt fight for custody.... But still wasnt interested and became upset when I asked if it was a financial thing. He would roll his eyes at my questions or give "beat around the bush" answers. And in the end....basically agreed if I had 10k or more to give him....I could go for custody. I raised my children from day one. They lived with me until their mom took them while I was at work. He didnt care. His whole attitude reminded me of a spoiled kid who was mad daddy made him go to work for his money. Very arrogant, unprofessional. With no time for my personal concerns. We went to child support court and he denied me entrance to my own hearing. He told me I had to wait for a Family Court Hearing before any chance of me speaking to my children. 6 years later.....still waiting for a family court date. Tried to reach Shaw to find out what is going on....which led me here ..finding out he quit without informing anyone whose money he took. When I told my now wife. Her jaw dropped. She said "wow....and you told HIM his character was deceitful and unprofessional. Thats why he was mad. You called him out." Theres a special place in hell for people like Douglas Shaw. But what does he care. He took our money and built a beautiful home on a cul-de-sac.....while the rest of us struggle to find reliable representation. Mr Shaw....I told you you were a money hungry snake that didnt care about your clients cases...only our money. You were soooo upset lol. But in the end....proved me right.

Do not hire Doug Shaw, he told me that my case had expired, and that I had to pay again, (why wouldn't you tell me before), so I paid again, n still got the runaround. Also Doug jumped from office to office w/o contacting me, like he was trying to avoid me, till this day, never got my issue resolved,... or money back.
