In March, 2016 I went to two attorneys in the same office near where I lived. I had been served with a restraining order and, as you might expect, wanted it lifted. Each of the two lawyers, both he and she, said twice, that they were “100% sure” that the DeKalb county judge would make the order permanent when we went to court and that I should, in essence, not even attempt to fight it since the matter was so open-and-shut.

That’s where Scott Shaw came in. I told my best friend about my situation and he directed me to Scott since my friend had employed Scott a few years prior in his family law matter. My case involved my former wife and my 17-year-old daughter.

Scott met me on a chilly Sunday morning, which I appreciated since time was of the essence. He said he couldn’t guarantee anything but that if the judge went by the law, the order would not be made permanent. It would come down to a knowledge of what the law requires and an attorney making clear that those requirements had NOT been met in my case.

I liked his hopeful but realistic assessment and signed on with him.

Before court, we met and communicated a few times. He “outlined” the case and when court came, he arranged the documents he had assembled neatly before him at our desk.

He was fully prepared.

But the question in legal matters always comes down to one, which is, “but what was the actual outcome” of the case which two attorneys had arrogantly asserted would not be in my favor?

The restraining order, after Scott finished questioning me on the stand and cross-examining my accusers, was immediately and completely dismissed, essentially laughed out of court. Afterwards, other people in the court, having observed Scott’s masterful performance, asked him on the spot for his business card - right there in court!

Scott saved the day for me and my relief and gratitude continue to be immense.

You may want a “nice” attorney (which Scott is) or an attorney to make you feel good or an attorney to whine to or to sympathize with you. Whatever you are looking for in an attorney, one of that variety can be found. On the other hand, if you are looking for an attorney who can win, contact Scott Shaw since winning is what he is all about.
