Divorce and Custody Is All We Do
The Shaw Law Firm, LLC, has served the Metro Atlanta area for more than 15 years. We have helped countless clients resolve difficult disputes and stand their ground when it mattered most.
Choosing a lawyer for your divorce or a custody dispute is an important decision. You need a lawyer who can take action, tackle complex issues, and handle the inevitable twists and turns. You also need to know that your lawyer will listen to you and act in your best interests. You need a lawyer who knows the law, knows the local court system and can navigate you through to the most favorable outcome.
Atlanta Divorce and Custody Attorney
Scott W. Shaw is a solo attorney who has practiced exclusively in family law since he graduated cum laude from law school in 1994. After establishing the Shaw Law Firm in Minnesota, he relocated the practice to Georgia and now practices in family courts throughout the seven-county Atlanta area.
His wife, Julie Shaw, joined the firm in 2004 as office manager. Working as a team, they have prepared and litigated high-conflict and high-profile divorce and child custody cases. Scott and Julie both have MBAs, and they have also cultivated a network of professionals from real estate professionals and appraisers to private investigators and forensic accountants who can help strengthen their clients' position in contested matters.
What You Can Expect at the Shaw Law Firm
- Access and response — Clients can usually reach Scott or Julie by phone. Both are intimately involved in your case and familiar with the current status. If we are not able to take your call, we will get back to you shortly.
- Compassion and care — Divorce is hard. No matter how confident and successful you may be in other phases of your life, legal proceedings can be intimidating and stressful. We will take the time to listen to your story, explain where you stand and what to expect, and help you take control of the outcome.
- Strategy and perspective — Many of our clients come to us without a plan, only knowing that the marriage is broken and that they want to be treated fairly. We help you develop realistic goals and achieve them. By focusing on what is most important to you and what is in your best long-term interests, you can emerge from divorce or custody litigation in solid shape.
- Courtroom firepower — We don't try to start fires or fan the flames, but we don't shy away from the courtroom or back down either. If it is necessary or advantageous to go to court, we will be highly prepared. Scott Shaw is a formidable trial lawyer who often makes the other side regret the decision to escalate matters to litigation.
We have many testimonials from clients who appreciate how we helped them, and we regularly get referrals from opposing parties who probably hated us at the time but acknowledge that we know what we're doing.
