I hired Mr. Shaw based on favorable internet reviews of his work. I was not disappointed! Mr. Shaw represented me in a child custody matter and he was able to successfully represent my case without me even testifying even though he had prepared me well for potential testimony, Additionally, he was emotionally supportive which helped me retain my composure.
I hired Shaw to represent me in a child support case where I was the defendant. Although he is over two hours away from me and where the court was held. We have a very simple zoom consult and I knew when we finished I wanted to hire him. He listens very carefully to the facts of my case and understood my point of view in the case immediately. Then furthermore told me his plan in what he will do to present to the judge. When we got to court we covered that plan again. He prepped me for the witness stand then he presented my case clearly and concisely. He presented it so well I rarely had to do much talking on the stand. Afterwords it was quite some time before the judge ruled. But he stayed in contact the whole time updating me on the status of the ruling. Bc he represent and presented the case so well in court I had a ruling in my favor. I am very pleased and will use him again if needed in the future.
Joseph is an amazing attorney... I have been a client of his for over a year and a half in a high conflict custody case. I called him up after reading a review from a client where he took on multiple attorneys and still won the case. Working with him now...I can totally see him doing that. He has a way of blending professionalism, a positive attitude, and this authoritative presence that commands respect and seems to take charge of the courtroom. This unique combination of personality traits reflects in his ability to negotiate...and ,oh my, can he negotiate. I've never seen anything like it. If Joseph Shaw were an artist with as much skill as I've seen him practice law, most other lawyers around him would appear to be stuck on finger painting technique. What's crazy is I never felt like he had even missed a beat on my case, in all the cases he had, he was able to compartmentalize and remember everything about mine. He was also personal, not just a great lawyer, but a great man. There is no doubt he cares about me and my daughter. I ,as a father, now have custody of my daughter because of him..and I can't thank him enough. It was such a high conflict custody case, it took a lot out of me, but Joseph fought unbelievably hard. If family court is an immovable object, Joseph Shaw is the unstoppable force, I know now the worst mistake I could have made is NOT having him as my attorney. Thank you, Joey!
After a lot of research I decided to hire Mr. Shaw to represent me in a child custody case. Mr. Shaw was very helpful in explaining options, the laws and how the Baldwin County court system works regarding child custody. He is an expert in his field and helped me to get the results I needed. He was very conscientious regarding fees, but willing to take the time to address concerns, work on the case and offer the best legal advice. I'm very happy that I chose Mr. Shaw to represent me.
I met with Mr. Shaw for a consultation regarding what I needed to do to prepare for my divorce. He spent a lot of time with me and explained everything I needed to know very clearly. He made me aware of what was to come should I file for divorce and I am so pleased that I found him. I know I will be in excellent legal hands. I highly recommend him to anyone that needs a lawyer concerning family law. He was great!
I feel that can't give enough praise to Mr. Shaw about his services. He saw me through a very, very complex, 18 month long divorce/child custody case that involved multiple out of state jurisdictions, a number of personal issues and a very tragic event. I retained the services of Mr. Shaw through a word of mouth recommendation roughly 9 months into my case. My representation prior to retaining Mr. Shaw failed me so badly that I lost what I thought to be an open and shut contempt of court case against my ex-spouse. I found Mr. Shaw to be incredibly ethical and fair with his rates and charges. I also found Mr. Shaw to not only be incredibly competent but also very well respected within the Baldwin County legal community. I can't stress how important this was because Mr. Shaw was able to obtain much better results with my ex-spouse's representation than a previous lawyer that I retained from another district. The most important quality that I found in working with Mr. Shaw was his practicality. He didn't promise me the moon in our dealings. He was very realistic and set reasonable expectations even in instances where the case began to turn in my favor. The case took a serious emotional toll on me, however he remained very level headed and even keeled which allowed us to stay strategic in navigating the course undettered. It is an incredibly tough, uphill battle for a father fighting for his parental rights in family court. Words can't quantify the challenges it can take on a person's psyche emotionally, mentally and financially. Thanks to Mr. Shaw's services I received a judgement better than I could've possibly imagined but most importantly I received the right be in my daughter's life unfettered. Hire this man. You will not be disappointed.
I am not a Alabama resident but needed a attorney in regards to child custody. I found Mr. Shaw online and sought him out after reading his reviews. After our initial phone conference I was confident that I had found the right attorney for our case. Mr. Shaw maintained contact with me throughout every step of our delicate case. He worked with an attorney in my state as well as fought against two other attorneys in Alabama. Mr. Shaw came to court prepared and was very familiar with the laws regarding our case. His cost were very reasonable and he didn't inflate any of his fees. We can't thank him enough! Our little fella is back in his home state and we have him to thank for it!!
Mr. Shaw is a very knowledgeable and dedicated attorney. He represented my family in a very complicated situation and was able to understand the issues throughout the lengthy procedures. I highly recommend his services and I am grateful to him for his compassion in helping his clients.
I am a handicapped/crippled, elderly, 74-year-old lady with NO previous criminal history of ANY kind!!!!! I've had 2+ fugitive arrest warrants issued for me even though the Judges in each case dismissed them. The Baldwin County District Attorney's office keeps presenting false charges against me to a secret Grand Jury who indicts me secretly and the District Attorney's office secretly issues a fugitive arrest warrant for me. This has been going on for one solid year...since July 2013. I am NOT a fugitive, AND I'm a little weary of the process...having to travel from my home in Texas to Bay Minette to go through the jail arrest; photographing/fingerprinting; bonding out, etc. AND, in June 2014, the fugitive arrest warrant was for NO bond. Mr. Shaw did everything he could AND succeeded in getting a bond set so I could bond out of jail. Mr. Shaw is compassionate, knowledgeable, and very helpful. Call him!!
I live in Texas. In June 2013, I was visiting my brother at his request in Fairhope, Alabama after the death of his wife. One of my brother's deceased wife's relatives falsely accused me of a criminal act. And, unbeknownst to me, an arrest warrant was issued for me. I heard a rumor about the arrest warrant which shocked me as I did not know the person who issued the warrant. And, I did not know the reasons for it. I believe the relative was trying to harrass me and to intimidate me. But, I was absolutely afraid for my life as I've never even had a parking ticket or a speeding ticket in my 73 years here on Earth!! A friend recommended Mr. Joseph Allan Shaw to me. I called his office, and I spoke with his assistant, Deborah. She was very knowledgeable...she contacted Mr. Shaw...My brother and I met both of them at his office. Mr. Shaw, too, is very knowledgeable. He took my case. He kept me informed every step of the way. As I had never been in that part of Alabama, Mr. Shaw drove my brother and me to Bay Minette, Alabama to a bail bonding company to post bail...walked me across the street to the jail where I turned myself in...I was "processed," i.e., fingerprinted, photographed...took several hours...Mr. Shaw waited for me. We returned to his office at 10:00PM that night. A preliminary Hearing was held on Thursday, July 25, 2013. Mr. Shaw had witnesses to testify on my behalf that I did not commit the criminal act. But, they didn't testify because Mr. Shaw did such a GREAT job cross examining the prosecution's witness that the Judge dismissed the case right then for lack of evidence. I'm eternally grateful and thankful to Mr. Shaw for his help. He can help you, too.

I called his office, and I spoke with his assistant, Deborah. She was very knowledgeable...she contacted Mr. Shaw...My brother and I met both of them at his office. Mr. Shaw, too, is very knowledgeable. He took my case. He kept me informed every step of the way. As I had never been in that part of Alabama, Mr. Shaw drove my brother and me to Bay Minette, Alabama to a bail bonding company to post bail...walked me across the street to the jail where I turned myself in...I was "processed," i.e., fingerprinted, photographed...took several hours...Mr. Shaw waited for me. We returned to his office at 10:00PM that night. A preliminary Hearing was held on Thursday, July 25, 2013. Mr. Shaw had witnesses to testify on my behalf that I did not commit the criminal act. But, they didn't testify because Mr. Shaw did such a GREAT job cross examining the prosecution's witness that the Judge dismissed the case right then for lack of evidence. I'm eternally grateful and thankful to Mr. Shaw for his help. He can help you, too.
