Client

I hired Shane Lazenby to represent me as my lawyer in a car accident case. From the very beginning he was supportive and always there for me with any questions I had. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is feeling overwhelmed with the right way to handle a case. Shane was very successful in g...etting me the money to handle all the medical bills. And now I feel as if Shane Lazenby and his firm is part of my family.

"First and foremost, a solid moral and ethical code serves as the foundation of Shane's practice.

Car accident lawyer | Apr 19

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I met Shane through the JAG corps over a decade ago. Shane honed his legal skills doing insurance defense work. When Shane crossed the aisle to help accident and injured victims, he brought with him the inside knowledge of the practices of insurance companies which helps him maximize the value of his injured clients claims. I recommend one call to Shane for the people who are injured. Shane is a lawyer who cares about his clients, has the inside knowledge to achieve the maximum results, and a lawyer that I call on with questions that come up."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
