"BEST OF THE BEST"

Iv used Shane Carlson for many years,for different reasons between me an my wife atleast 10-12 cases an totally satisfied every time.He's a really good guy in general,an a incredible attorney sometimes i had a hard time understanding what was going on with my case ,an Shane could see that an with o...ut me even asking he made sure to go over my case with me again but explained it a little different an made it much easier for me to understand i appreciated that very much.He dont play games ,lays things right out,an tells you the facts, good or bad ,an how it is an what you should do,an what he can do for you.He cares about his clients & his reputation ,unlike some lawyers Shane is not all about the money ,he cares an is very concerned about your safety & well being.He is also a beast in the court room, when he needs to be an not afraid to speak up.I know atleast 50 plus freinds ,family & friend's of freinds that have used an still use Shane Carlson as there attorney..iv never heard anything negitive with Shanes Law office ,id be very surprised if i did.I would highly recommend Shane to anyone,He doesn't just take your money,an tells you want you want to hear, he stays in contact with you an keeps you posted though out the whole process,a lawyer anyone should have in there corner, reasonable an worth every pennny.

A diamond in the rough.

I HAVE CONTINUALLY RETURNED TO SHANE FOR REPRESENTATION ON ALL MY LEGAL ISSUES. I FIND HIM TO BE AN EASY TO TALK TO NO NONSENSE LAWYER WHO WAS INSTRUMENTAL TO BRINGING ABOUT A FAVORABLE OUTCOME IN ALL MY CASES! PERSONAL INJURY AS WELL AS CRIMINAL DEFENSE FOR SOME TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS.. THERE ARE VE...RY FEW LAWYERS IN THIS DISTRICT OF HIS CALIBER. WHEN IN HIS ELEMENT HE CLEARLY STANDS OUT AMONGST HIS PEERS!.........T.Y.
