Shane W. Surrette

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.

I went to a party and had a couple drinks with my friends. I was stopped on my way home from the bar, and I was charged with DUI. I was referred to Attorney Shane Surrette by a friend of mine. Attorney Surrette met with me, explained the process, and I felt fully confident with him handling my case.... He tried my case to a jury, and I was found innocent. I was impressed by his skills during trial, especially how he questioned police. His argument to the jury was very impressive, and I fully believe that is why the jury found me not guilty. I highly recommend Attorney Surrette.

I cannot express how much gratitude and respect that I have for Attorney Surrette as he helped walk my son and I through a very complex and lengthy juvenile case. Right from the start, Shane expressed a deep understanding of the justice system and process and he was able to communicate our options a...nd strategies in a clear and understandable way. After meeting with Shane, we were very comfortable with his professional demeanor and strait talk approach and felt he was the right attorney for us. Once taking on the case, Attorney Surrette did not disappoint. He took the lead, mediating all communication with the DA's office, and advised us at every point through a 2 year ordeal. Shane was always there to help answer questions and make us feel like we were his most important clients. Attorney Surrette's knowledge and experience as a DA was definitely invaluable when it came to negotiating with the prosecutor as well as writing and submitting motions and other documents in support of the case as the judge assigned seemed very particular with documentation that had come from other attorneys during the case. We believe that Attorney Surrette's efforts and advice provided us with the best possible outcome in our case. Based on our experience, I highly recommend to anyone in need of a Criminal Justice Attorney to consider Shane Surrette. He looks out for your best interest, communicates process and strategy clearly, and has the knowledge and experience to back his commitment up.

I have had many lawyers in my time and Attorney Shane Surrette was the most understanding, nonjudgmental and comprehensive of them all. A case like mine (sex crime) and all of the relating laws can be very complicated. I was arrested 1991, and I have been paying for this since. I was working out at... a local Karate school when I was arrest for not registering this as my place of employment and I was now facing two and half years in prison plus fines for this insane accusation. Remember I was only working out, I was in no way employ by this school. Attorney Shurrette not only made the time to see immediately, he also completely new what I was up against. He made me feel comfortable. His straight forward nature made me trust him, which turn out to the best thing I did. He handle my case with great success. It has been along time since I have been able to walk up of a court room with my head held high with a feeling of victory. I fully and with confidence recommend Shane Surrette for those who truly need a fighter and a lawyer who can teach out lawyer how it does. Thanks Shane

Shane was recommended by a mutual friend and I am happy I took that recommendation. My vehicle was wrongly identified as being involved in a hit and run accident. I made matters worse by sending the summons to the wrong location, and missed the date to request a hearing and instead receiving a summon...s to criminal court. I consulted with Shane, where he explained everything that had gone on to that point, and what could happen at the hearing. I hired Shane during that first conversation. On the date of the hearing, Shane explained to me exactly what to do and where to go and exactly what would happen when we were called. Once called, Shane explained the error I had made with the ticket, and asked to have this moved back to the magistrate, to which the judge agreed. In front of the magistrate, Shane questioned the police officer about the ticket, pointing out that at no time was I identified as being in any vehicle anywhere near the hit and run. Shane requested the magistrate dismiss the case due to lack of evidence, which is what was done. I found Shane to be VERY thorough and detail oriented. He was very professional at all times, and conducted himself with ease in the courtroom. As this was a first experience for me, I had no idea what to expect. Shane always kept me up to date, and I always felt I understood what was going on, and why he was making the recommendations he was making. I hope I never have the need again, but I would hire Shane in an instant if I did need it.
