About

I think of myself as a settlement-oriented trial attorney who is efficient, fair and strongly client focused. I am a certified family law specialist and have significant experience in complex and simple divorce and other family law cases.I am a fourth-generation Arizonan. My parents divorced when I was young, and I was a single father throughout law school. I have been married and divorced, and have strong relationships with my children and stepchildren. Real life has taught me just as much as law school about family law.

I recently went through a divorce and had Michael and his team represent me. Obviously, divorces are not fun, however, Michael helped me through the entire process and thoroughly explained things to me along the way. If you think you can represent yourself...DON'T. Michael was worth every penny !!! He was thorough, knowledgeable, and truly cared about my best interests. I highly recommend Michael and his team. Thank you Michael ! I truly appreciate you and all that you did for me.

I just got off a 30 Minute phone consult with Michael Shew and I am so incredibly impressed. Michael was professional, he listened to me and eventually advised me not to retain him but gave me some tips and pointers. Michael is ethical and that means the world. I hope that I will be able to work things out with his guidance but if I can't, I will certainly be coming back to retain Michael.

Mike is an amazing attorney and fights for his clients rights as well as child/children that are involved in the case. He keeps you informed as well as explains things when you don't understand legal terminology. Mike has not only represented me but my family and I have referred him MANY times to other people and all have been more than happy with him. I you are looking for an attorney that will fight for you and is fair and will lead you in the right direction he is your man. I am a single mother and he was willing to work with me on his fees. He is companionate, fair, and will not lead you wrong.

When I got my divorce I thought my world was falling apart. Michael was honest and upfront, he gave me excellent advise and was behind me 100%. When I just wanted things to be over , he gave me the strength and courage to move forward and not to just lie down and take it. He stood beside me and gave me the courage to be strong against a man who had been abusive for years. I felt very confident with Michael and Jill and all of his staff. They answered my questions, kept in contact with me and were very supportive. Thanks to Michael and his staff I have started over . I cannot say enough good things about them. I have referred them to a few people because of his knowledge and ethical practices. When we went to court he was 100% focused on me and how I was doing.

I initially contracted Mr. Shew on a Family Court matter and he handled the situation with the utmost care and detail. He always kept us informed throughout the process and won the case without hesitation. I recommended Mr. Shew to a few colleagues and they too are very impressed and pleased by the detail Mr. Shew and his office puts to their case. His determination, knowledge and overall attention to his clients individual needs places Mr. Shew at the highest regard of recommendation.

Michael Shew has represented me and based on the positive experience that I had I now I refer my clients to him. During the six years that I have known Michael I have always found him to be open, honest, and extremely ethical. Michael has compassion and seems to take a special interest in the people he works with. Michael also has a strong grasp on the inner-workings of the Family Court system. Having this knowledge seems to help him better guide his clients in the legal choices that may be best for their situation. I would highly recommend Mr. Shew especially in family court cases.

He is a terrible lawyer. He is intimidated by the opposing attorney, does not fight for his clients. Truly feel like he is not working for his own, but rather just be done with things. Look at his own situation, search on the Maricopa County Court website under family court and you will find a mess in his own life and legal situation. He charges above most other attorneys and delivers well below par services. He needs to examine the work that he does, it is very poor. Do not use Mr. Shew. He is a joke of a lawyer. Start working for you clients Mr. Shew!
