Sexual assulat of minor child

Shane came across my case, sexual assault of a minor child where the mother of the child made strong allegations that I had sexual abused my son. The case had been split up across 3 states and had been cleared in 2 states no abuse . The child was a victim of parental alienation and couched and made t...o belive that he was abuse. Shane gathered the evidence spred across 3 states and proved my innocents in court. He is my hero and a hero to my wife and our 3 children...HE WAS BRILLIANT!

Great Trial Lawyer

I was facing on OUI from October 2019. Shane toke apart the prosecution's case, and put all of the State Troopers testimony in to doubt. In the end, I was acquitted. Great trial lawyer.

Outstanding Attorney

Shane is a brilliant trial lawyer. I received an OUI last March and was understandably very upset. Shane was professional and reassuring. He was there to answer my questions and help me through each step. When it came to the trial Shane was a genius. He was truly amazing to watch in court. I would re...commend hiring him to anyone.

Most professional lawyer

Mr. Surrette got me off my DUI a few times . He was by my side every step of the way and insured that he will represent me the best way possible. Anyone who chooses him as their lawyer will not be disappointed by his work. Anyway looking for representation for OUI or DUI, I highly recommend Shane Sur...rette.
