Shaw 3 Law Firm

When CPS came to my home over a misunderstanding at my son’s school, I was terrified. Facing a CPS investigation and possible custody issues was overwhelming. Walter acted immediately, explained my rights, and prepared me for every court hearing. He challenged inaccurate claims, argued firmly on my behalf, and stood his ground throughout the process. Over several months, he fought for my family and guided me through every CPS requirement. Because of his strong advocacy and commitment to reunification, my son remained safely at home and the CPS case was successfully closed. I’m incredibly grateful for his support and dedication.

I cannot say enough about Walter Shaw and the incredible representation he provided during the most horrific and frightening time of my life. You absolutely need someone who not only understands the law, but who knows how to stand firm and fight for your rights, and that is exactly who Walter is. From the very beginning, he was attentive, compassionate, and fully present. He never made me feel like just another case. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered every question, and made himself available whenever I needed guidance or reassurance. Fighting for me and my family with integrity and determination, all along the way. If you are facing an unfortunate CPS situation, you need the best in Family Law, and Walter Shaw is exactly that. I am beyond thankful for his dedication, his strength, and the care he showed me throughout the entire process. He made a devastating situation survivable, and for that, I will always be grateful.

I was arrested for a DUI after leaving a birthday dinner, and I honestly thought my career was over. I work in healthcare, so my license and reputation matter. From our first consultation, they didn’t judge me. Instead, they reviewed the traffic stop details and found issues with how the field sobriety test was handled. Court was stressful, and there were moments I doubted everything, but they kept me informed. In the end, the charges were reduced, and I avoided the worst consequences. I would absolutely suggest reaching out to them.

After I was rear-ended on the freeway in Ontario, I tried dealing with the insurance company myself and quickly realized I was in over my head. The adjuster kept delaying things and minimizing my injuries. The attorneys stepped in, gathered my medical records, and pushed back hard. I received a settlement that covered my treatment and lost wages. I’m so grateful for their steady guidance.

I hired this firm during my CPS case. I was overwhelmed and scared of losing time with my daughter. Mr. Shaw explained every court step clearly and helped me stay calm. We secured a family reunification and now in the pathway to reunify. I truly recommend them.

Walter is extremely experienced in CPS and juvenile dependency cases. He was strategic, well-prepared, and confident in court. Most importantly, he genuinely cared about my family and fought hard to protect my parental rights. His communication was excellent — he kept me informed every step of the way and was always responsive when I needed reassurance or clarification.

Had a wonderful experience with Walter and the DUI case we brought to him. He was very clear and communicative with everything we were to expect . Our case was resolved quickly thanks to him and it took soooo much stress off our shoulders from an already high stress situation. His representation was affordable and incredibly life saving. I definitely recommend Walter to help you with any issues in the future if you want to know you’re in the best hands :)

I cannot recommend Walter Shaw and his firm highly enough. Our family went through an incredibly frightening and overwhelming situation when our sons were suddenly removed from our home, and we were left with very little information or guidance about what to do next. This all happened on Christmas Eve, and I felt completely lost. Walter Shaw was the only attorney who returned my calls during the holiday, and he immediately stepped in to help. From the very beginning, he took action, gathering the necessary paperwork, explaining our options, and ensuring everything was submitted to the court promptly. Walter spent an extraordinary amount of time explaining the legal process to me, sometimes more than once, making sure I fully understood what to expect and how everything worked. He was patient, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable during one of the most stressful times in our lives. Because of Walter and his team’s hard work and dedication, we were reunited with our son, all allegations were dismissed, and our family was restored. I will forever be grateful for their professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care for our family. If you ever find yourself facing a family crisis and need strong, compassionate legal representation, I cannot recommend Walter Shaw enough.

Since the beginning of my case, Walter has been a blessing to me and my family. He answered every call and every question I had for him. He eased the stress and worry about not knowing anything regarding how to go about the next steps in the court process. He was direct and to the point and made sure to advise the path that was best. I’m not sure if I would’ve been able to go through this process without his guidance. Thank you Walter.

Walter has been so great throughout this whole process. Super glad I trusted my gut to hire him as my attorney. He was able to lower my charge from a DUI to a wet reckless. This wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for the work of Walter. If you are ever in need he’s your guy. Super thankful. Thank you again Walter for all your help!

I’m so grateful for my lawyer and everything he did for me. He guided me through my CPS case, explained every step clearly, and always made me feel supported. Because of his work and dedication, I was able to return home. I can’t thank him enough. Highly recommended to anyone needing a strong, caring attorney. Thank you Walter Shaw!

Mr. Shaw was a pleasure to work with from the beginning. He was straight forward, gave me the run down on the laws, and showed up to every one of my court dates. I listened to all his advice, called him when I had questions and he led me all the way to end my cps case in less than a year. To be exact, it only lasted 6 months! To anyone looking for a family lawyer, this is your guy! Thanks to Mr Shaw, I am now back with my family. Thanks again for all your hard work and dedication.

PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW IN ITS ENTIRETY IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN ATTORNEY TO REPRESENT YOU!!!!! I can’t say enough about Walter Shaw and the way he represented me. From the very beginning, he treated me with respect, compassion, and genuine care—something rare to find in the legal world. He didn’t just take my case; he fought for me like it was his own. Walter always answered the phone—morning, night, weekends—it didn’t matter. He walked me through every step, explained the process clearly, and never made me feel like just another client. He is a fighter for justice and a voice for the innocent. What truly sets Walter apart is his character. He is honest, deeply knowledgeable, and relentless when it comes to defending what’s right. He combines professional excellence with true human empathy, and that’s something money can’t buy.

I thank Jehovah for guiding me to him.

Family is so important to me and Thanks to Walter Shaw Im reunited with them and so much more. In May of 2024 on mother's day from a incident induced by Alcohol and domestic violence. My children 13yr old, 4yr old and 4 month old, were taken from me by Children and Family Services with no contact. They wanted to keep my kids. I felt hopeless and lost and the pain was worse than anything I've ever felt. I'm so glad I started looking up lawyer's and seen Walter Shaw with a 5 star review. I knew I needed him, so I called him and he answered even though it was like 9pm at night. He told me he would take my case and we worked out a price. He allowed me to finance him and I was very grateful because he was already giving me advice of what to do and the court appointed attorney wouldn't even answer their phone and they kept changing them. I explained to Walter what I wanted, I wanted to stay with my husband and get our kids home. Unfortunately he couldn't represent my husband as well because of how those courts work . Walter was able to get me everything I asked for, he guided me through the whole case. What I should do . What not to do. When to call the social workers and when not to. His presence was strong in court, he argued everything perfectly and with intelligence and assertiveness, so much that it made the judge upset and you can tell from her body language and her rolling her eyes. He got me more time he got me unsupervised visits he got my babies home. He would answer my call every time I had a question or i felt unsure about something. I called him after every interaction I had with the social workers and children's lawyer's. If you want your kids back, he's the man to call. Something about Walter is he will go above and beyond for you but you have to listen to him and do what he advises. Do not ignore his advice because that will definitely compromise you getting everything you ask him to get. I LISTENED TO EVERYTHING HE ADVISED AND I GOT MY FAMILY BACK TOGETHER. Not just back together, its better than it ever was before. My life is better ever since ive been Walter's client. I have my high-school diploma now and am actively in college. My kids are all healing from the trauma of being taken and I wouldn't even be doing this good if it wasn't for everything Walter has done for me , my case and my kids. My case has been closed and dismissed as of today. Thank you Walter for everything. You are a very intelligent, passionate and powerful lawyer. I couldn't have made it without you. Thank you for holding me accountable and being patient with me when I have been stubborn with my words and making sure I know the worst outcome if I had listen to my terrible idea's. Thank you for not only getting my case dismissed and closed. Thank you for being a good friend. I can never truly repay you for what you did because my kids are priceless.

The best attorney ever . I highly 100 percent recommend him. He is highly intelligent and knows what his doing. When he takes on your case, he will defend your case to the core. He gives you the assurance and a peace of mind. Above all, he is a humble guy and he doesn't judge people regarless of who your are. Thank you Mr Shaw. All i can say is " Let's go, we are ready"

My man, thank you!

Walter Shaw has been helping me with a CFS case. He has helped me obtain De Facto parent status for my grandchildren, who are in my care. Walter has helped me get my grandchildren back after they were unjustly removed. Walter is very professional. He always returns calls and keeps me well informed. He is knowledgeable and explains the legal situation and options clearly. He works well with the other legal professionals which helps to get things done. Walter is also caring and compassionate. He cares about helping families that have been treated unfairly by CFS. I really appreciate all his help.

Mr. Shaw has been amazing, he's very compassionate and really goes the distance. He worked so hard for my family and explained things thoroughly, educated himself on the laws pertaining to my specific county and I simply couldn't have found anyone better for the job. I am grateful for all his hard work amd guidance and anyone he represents is very lucky to have him. God bless this man, I couldn't endorse him any more highly!

Walter Shaw is a God Send! This man helped me out of the darkest part of my life, dealing with the Child Protective Services, these vultures came for my child and left me helpless to defend myself, after a few hearings I could see that the courts were not in my favor, so I searched for and reached out to Walter. He reassured me that his expertise would help me greatly. I thought it over a bit and reluctantly decided to pay the retainer fee, and I have to say at first I was a bit sick, for having to pay that much but after seeing what he did in court and how he actually cared and fought for not just me, but to return my child, I was inspired. I cannot say enough about Walter Shaw, he helped make this long journey with CPS a bit easier for me, and for that you have my utmost thanks. Thank you!

If you have serious allegation against you, you need to use Mr. Walter Shaw. Mr. Shaw was very professional and knowledgeable about all the intricacies of a very complicated case. He used his intuitive skills that can only be learned from experience to sense when my case was not making sense to look at other court matters.
