Shaw took on my case as it was nearly 6 years in the midst. A huge case history. We were in dire straights at the time after a mishandling of my case by a prior attorney, lack of due process by our Cobb County Judge, and a poor investigation by a Guardian Ad Litem. It was a long road, and it is still ongoing.
Shaw is calculated, practical, honest, and utilizes experts in the Family Law professional community to get the job done. Family law is a hard field to navigate, and Shaw does his absolute best to serve his clients- even given huge setbacks and misfortune. He does not subscribe to the common politics which the field can be dominated by. He runs his firm by the book, and the laws therein.
I deeply respect Scott Shaw and his work. Thank you for your service.

5 star rating is only for his quick and responsive communication to setup the initial session. However I chose another attorney before met him.

I was very happy that Scott was my attorney. Unlike other attorneys that I talked to, he was precise, straight to the, and did exactly just enough to get the desired outcome. He dismissed the opposing attorney's claims and proved the judge was wrong. Consultation fee was tripled, comparing one other attorneys that i talked, but Scott did his homework before he spoke to me. At the end, the overall attorney fee was much less than what was estimated by others. Now I know who to call first when my ex wife tries to do something fishy again.
Not a trustworthy and responsible Attorney. Be careful. You will be disappointed.

I could not be any happier to have Scott Shaw. Scott has done more for me on our first phone call than any attorney I have dealt with. I have two cases Scott is helping me with. A divorce and a custody battle and the other is a custody battle. Both fathers have ganged up and tried to take custody away from me. I called Scott & come to find out they are both in contempt. He told me to go pick them up! Scott Shaw knows the law & he can relate. I feel it's one thing to be an attorney to know the law and to fight but to be the attorney who been in the same shoes as his clients is the icing on the cake for me. I have been a House mom for nearly 10 years never had to work so child support is an issue for me having to raise four children while having to pay for an attorney.
I think his prices are fair especially for an attorney & compassionate. Call Scott Shaw! You won't regret it!

Ladies beware! He isn’t an attorney that will work for you. He kept emailing me that we would get together on my case but that never happened. When my case came up in March he said “there is nothing I can do you need to agree “. He took 3,500 and did Nothing! Please take my advice and stay away! Some of his reviews are good because he sends you a survey in the beginning when he pretends to be working. I will be filing with GB.

Shaw Law Firm is an amazing Law Firm. Scott did everything he could to ensure my request were met. From the beginning he was about helping me get my kids back and told me what I had to do to be successful. He took the time to do a thorough investigation on my ex and obtain plenty of evidence to help us win. He is precistant and when the courts or other party wasn’t responding he stayed on top of it so no one could put it off. I would recommend Scott to anyone who needs a no games kind of lawyer because he gets the job done.

Scott Shaw has been doing amazing work in representing me for over a year. His stance in the courtroom is well thought out and tactful. His ferocity in defending me has been more than what I could have expect on several, if not, every occasion. His services have been incredible and I would choose him again, if life throws me another curve ball. Thanks Scott for being there and supporting me!

I was very pleased with Scott Shaw, Divorce and child custody attorney. My divorce was expedient with a very favorable outcome. Scott is very knowledgeable in the law and always made himself available for questions and concerns whether it was by phone or email. He prepared me for the worst case scenario, (which didn't look good at all by the way) and the best scenario. Of course we won with the best case scenario. I am very happy and would recommend his services to anyone in need.

Mr. Shaw did an excellent job of assisting my family and I in getting visitation rights for my grandson. Every objection made by the opposing party was denied due to his preparation for the case. Although I had to move out of the country during the later part of the process, he was able to allow my mother to testify on my behalf. The judge also honored his request to allow me to testify by phone from the UAE. My family and I are pleased with Mr. Shaw's legal services, and would highly recommend him for your family law matters.

I live out of state and was fighting a long-distance custody battle. I called over 10 Atlanta law firms and told I needed a specialist, which I interpreted as costing me a fortune. That's when I found the Shaw Law Firm and Mr. Shaw instantly understood what I needed, was the "bull-dog" I needed, never minced words and just put his head down and won the case. And to my surprise, the bill was completely realistic and doable! So I not only won a long-distance custody case quickly, but wasn't put through the wringer to do it. Couldn't be more pleased! I highly recommend this tougher than tough bull-dog!

Mr. Shaw is an incredible attorney - I mean seriously so. I had 2 prior attorneys and I was getting destroyed by my husband and I was at wits end. Mr. Shaw was referred to me by an attorney friend. At first when I met him I was taken back as he is a bit eccentric, but you know what, he knows what he is doing and he is passionate about his clients. He took the crates of documents I brought him and digitized the relevant documents (apparently about 90% of the file was a waste). He cut through the chafe is the best way to say it, and told me which issues were relevant and which were not. Basically tossed out the drama and focused the case on the relevant issues that incredibly he was able to immediately recognize and know how to address. He took over a case that had been going on for 3 years, with two prior attorneys, the case going no where but my losing it, took it apart, put it back together, and took it to trial in 6 months. He went into court with one manila folder, a MacBook and an iPad vs. the other sides 6-10 boxes, two attorneys and a paralegal who had been on the case 3 years. Mr. Shaw destroyed the other side. He knew the material better than the other side, could find whatever document or note he needed in seconds, focused on the relevant issues, and he was brilliant in court. Yes, I highly recommend Mr. Shaw.

Insulting and not worth the money. If your female, go elsewhere for representation. No fight in him or bark unless it's at his client. Didn't even review the final paper work to find ENOMOUS mistakes & lies from the other attorney but singed off on them. Don't make the mistake my daughter did. Your money and your family are at huge risk at this guy's hands.

Worst, unorganized, unfocused, not prepared on court. You will be surprised how unprofessional he is. Dont waste your money with this law firm. This law firm has no assistant, the lawyer will go to the court unprepared.

Great representation and excellent outcome! I was an emotional wreck because my ex had threatened to take my son out of the state against my will. I thought because he was my son's father that he could do it too. Scott informed me of my rights that I did not even know that I had. He immediately sprung into action and got an emergency order from the court. He handled everything quickly and attentively while reassuring me through the process. I really am grateful for all that he did for my son and I. The end result was totally in my favor. I highly recommend him and thank him for his representation.

When my marriage entered choppy waters, I interviewed a few attorneys who all gave the same bland answers which left me hopeless about what I wanted and felt deserved to get. Then, I met with Mr. Shaw at his office. Scott impressed me immediately by not only grasping the concerns I had, but also by suggesting ideas/strategies that gave me the confidence that I had a good shot at getting the outcomes I was hoping to achieve. That was a big step forward for me. From there on, trust started building and I relied on Scott to help me out with a couple of tricky situations where I found him to be both timely/responsive and creative in coming up with excellent solutions. Throughout the case, Scott provided solid legal counsel and great friendly advice. He was a busy attorney but was generally accessible fairly quickly, even during weekends, which translates to “peace of mind” in difficult times. Another characteristic that stood out was that he made a conscious effort to keep the legal fees low even when he could have taken advantage of my desperation at times. How often can you say that?! All said and done, Scott was a terrific attorney and a consummate professional who genuinely cared about my case and the way he provided his services. He has my heartiest recommendation! Bravo, Scott, keep it up!

"The mother of my child took off with my baby, Mr. Shaw took charge of the case, helped us with the use of private investigators to track down the baby, gathered the evidence we needed, and we won on every issue at the emergency hearing. Mr. Shaw knew what he was doing, was in charge of the situation, and was thoroughly prepared and brilliant at the hearing. I can wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Shaw, and because of him my little girl is safe and I have her custody."

Brilliant but insulting and not worth the money. If your female, go elsewhere for representation. He leans toward the mans side, like he's going through his own divorce all over again. No fight in him or bark unless it's at his client. Didn't even review the final paper work to find ENOMOUS mistakes & lies from the other attorney but singed off on them. Don't make the mistake my daughter did.
