Contacted Shaw Family Law just to ask questions and get a better understanding regarding a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. Mr. Shaw was very helpful addressing my concerns, and he wasn't even the original lawyer I used for my divorce from years ago. Really appreciated the fact he took the time out of his busy day not only to take my phone call but answered the many questions I had.

I contacted Shaw Family Law through their website to inquire about a letter I received from a different lawyer. Matt emailed me directly to ask for a copy of the letter and then reached out for a phone call. Matt spent twenty minutes discussing my situation and offering his opinion and advice. He asked good questions to better understand my problem and patiently suggested what I could do to remedy the conflict on my own without a lawyer. He made sure I understood my options and that I felt safe moving forward. I found Matt to be personable, thoughtful, and warm in his interaction with me. Should my situation escalate, I feel confident in retaining his services.

Speedy process and reduced stress were crucial factors for me when I started looking for legal services. Matt and his staff were extremely professional and attentive, addressing my concerns and questions constantly and patiently. Working with Shaw Family Law was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life! My thanks and appreciation for their work and dedication!

Shaw Family Law has been representing me in my divorce case for almost a year now and I could not be in better hands. My case is extremely contentious, and Deidre Sanders at Shaw Family Law has handled it with bold strength and also a steady, polished ease. The lawyers in this firm are nothing short of brilliant. They have the perfect way with words to drive home a point effectively. They are efficient and prompt. Going through a contentious divorce is by far the worst experience of my life, but hiring Shaw Family Law is the only thing that has given me any hope that my future will be better than my past and present. I highly, highly recommend Shaw Family Law.

I first hired Matt in 2018 to replace my previous lawyer who seemed less than motivated to do a thorough job with my legal separation case. As soon as Matt took over my case, he pointed out all of the things that should have been done correctly the first time. Once Matt finished cleaning up my previous lawyers mess, we took the case back in front of the judge for a ruling, and everything was ruled in our favor! I needed Matt's service's again in 2020 to get my child support reduced, and once again, Matt went above and beyond to make sure all of my questions and concerns were answered and dealt with. I am pleased to say we had yet another victory in court and my child support was reduced! Anytime I hear that somebody is seeking a good family lawyer, I never hesitate to refer them to Matt Shaw Family Law.

I hired Matt to represent me during my divorce and a subsequent issue with my ex-spouse. I followed his advice throughout each process and he was spot on with his advice. I would highly recommend Matt

My family went to many attorneys and were told we did not have a very good chance at winning our case. We went to Matt Shaw and it was like working with a Zen Master. Matt took us on as a client and was one step ahead of the opposition at all times. It was like they were playing checkers while he was Bobby Fisher playing chess. I would recommend Matt to anyone that wants the most professional, honest and understanding attorney in Illinois!
