Emilio Rojas

Lane & Lane represent me with my case and they did a great job. I would recommend Lane & Lane to anybody who needs a good divorce lawyer.

Professional, knowledgeable and caring

My divorce was emotional and complicated. Steve Lane has many years of experience in all areas of family and matrimonial law and that is why I chose him to be my attorney. He is extremely knowledgeable and always well-prepared. He made sure that I understood all parts of the divorce process; expla...ining the fancy legal terms into English. He gave me his full attention to allay any worries I had relating to alimony and child support. Steve Lane was available when I needed to speak with him. He was patient and compassionate when I needed patience and compassion, but more than that, he was a very strong negotiator. He resolved my divorce with a fair settlement that protected my interests and allowed me to look forward to my future. Steve Lane has an impeccable reputation and I have recommended him without hesitation many, many times.

Excellent lawyer

Upon meeting Steven Lane, he saw me right away and I could tell he was the lawyer I wanted to work with. He was very professional and personable. He kept in constant communication, even on weekends when I was panicking about an issue. He and his staff answered e-mails and phone calls right away. ...I am very satisfied with how my case turned out. And while I hope not to ever have to go through a divorce again, I would choose him as my lawyer again.

Cares and Works Tirelessly

Under recommendation, I went in for a consultation with Steven Lane of Lane and Lane for a divorce. From the very beginning I knew that I was in competent hands. Mr. Lane was clear about what my options were and was not shy about giving me his advice gained from his many years of successful practic...e as an attorney. I left his office feeling relieved (for the first time) that things were going to be OK. I hired his office on the spot to represent me in the divorce and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. His office staff is friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to help out. Things were communicated in a timely matter and emails and phone calls always got an immediate response. From the very first meeting to the final court date, they were there guiding me every step of the way through what was one of the most difficult times of my adult life. On the day of the trial I was put at ease as Mr. Lane walked me through exactly what would happen once we were in the court room. He was essential in helping me get a fair settlement in the divorce. I would recommend Lane and Lane in a heartbeat to anyone who needs counsel. They are honest, caring and will always be there when you need them.

Great Attorney!

I hired Mr. Lane since 2011. The first initial consultation was just the next day of a big winter storm. I tried to reach several attorneys but many of them either did not open or delayed open because of the storm and the bad weather and traffic condition. But Mr. Lane was in office on time and ready... to talk to me when I called him to ask if I might cancel the appointment. Then there was no question for me about who I should hire. Since then I have relied upon Mr. Lane for his depth of professional knowledge and legal expertise with detailed and accurate works. He has assisted me in many complicated matters over the years He always patiently helped me to resolve the difficult conflicts as quickly and painlessly as possible, and in the most efficient and cost effective manner. He always made himself readily available through telephone, e-mail, and personal contacts even on the weekends, holidays or during none working hours when I had urgent issues. My case was a complicated case with many issues which were difficult to deal with and required his help with exceptional legal talent to solve. I was impressed with his deep understanding of the law contents and procedures and confident for his professional and efficient service. For each complicated issue, he let me know and gave detailed assessment of the pros and cons of various legal strategies and tactics, and helped to set negotiated settlement. He was always thinking about my needs and try for best outcome for any situation. He presented himself in the courtroom with accuracy, sharp, calm and confident as a very talented attorney that has an immense skill to pay high attention to details and focus on important points and arguments which are favorite for my position and benefits. Mr. Lane is an attorney I can count on and trust and obviously, I highly recommend him to anyone in need of excellent divorce and family law representation. Having him as my attorney makes me feel safe, secure and comfortable.
