Davin Shaw

Born and raised in Owensboro, Kentucky, I played soccer at Daviess County High School, and continued playing at Lindsey Wilson College. In 2013, I graduated from LWC with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History and Social Science.

Following my undergraduate education, I interned in Washington, DC, in the House of Representatives. Upon returning to Kentucky, I joined Foreman Watson Holtrey as a litigation assistant. My early experiences with FWH encouraged me to pursue my law degree.

In 2018, I earned a Juris Doctorate from Indiana University Maurer School of Law and a Master’s of Public Administration from Indiana University O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs with concentrations in Public Policy and Public Finance. Throughout my postgraduate coursework, I remained active on FWH cases and clerked in the Indiana Attorney General’s Office, Division of Criminal Appeals.

I am thankful for the experiences, support, and guidance that FWH attorneys and staff have shared with me since 2013. I am excited to keep growing and serving clients in Madisonville, Henderson, Evansville, Owensboro, and the surrounding communities.

My wife, Kate, and I enjoy traveling to new places, spending time with our pups (Weller and Scout) and calling Madisonville home.
