I couldn't have a better Attorney

He and his entire team have been extremely professional. They guided me and my husband in my immigration process (which honestly was not easy) in an excellent way, they were very patient with my ignorance on the subject, we had contact constantly, they resolved all my doubts and made me always feel c...onfident at all times to solve my case I will be grateful for their service forever!

Attorney Evan Shane, Super Excellent Attorney

Attorney Evan Shane is an incredibly professional attorney. He is very cool calm and composed. And of course knowledgeable. Evan was/is my attorney of Super Excellence. Evan with his expertise and with Maria handled my case efficiently and as a result my process went through smoothly and now I am... the proud recipient of my Permanent Residence Card A gentle giant always calm and confident. Never once did I feel anything but hopeful, empowered and reassured when ever I spoke with Evan. Evan doesn't talk at you....he speaks to you and with you making it a personal experience. It was so amazing that even on weekends, Evan responded to communication from me Even when he was out of office for days. He responded promptly. The first time he responded to me on a weekend I was so elated I called my sister and my daughter to tell them. I thought I would have had to wait until Monday morning. No! Evan responded. That told me that, for sure, it was not just a professional service but that he was accessible and didn't take me, as a client, for granted Evan and the staff of Shane, Shane & Brauwerman made me feel special by the attention and care given to me. It was always a pleasure to hear Evan say "Hi Maxine!" In his ever courteous, refreshing and friendly manner. Thank you Evan and the staff of Shane, Shane & Brauwerman law firm. May the Creator continue bless and keep you and the team together...so you can continue to help people in need of the super excellent service that you offer. Forever grateful Maxine EO...

Exceptional Immigration Lawyer

My husband and I have nothing but positive feedback for Evan Shane and his team! From his knowledge of the system and what to expect throughout the process, to his 5-star customer service, Evan and/or Maria were always there to answer every question and concern along the way. As one can expect, thi...s process is an extremely stressful waiting game...despite the unknowns and all the things that were out of our control, Evan supported us the best he could and eased our worries. There was not a single email or phone call that was left unattended, and either Evan himself or someone from his team replied within 24 hours--if not much sooner. Upon hiring Evan, he gave us a rundown of the process, which pretty much went the exact way he described. When we finally got notice of our in-person interview, we felt like Evan made our case a priority and cleared his schedule to have multiple preparation phone calls. Evan met us at the location of our interview the night before and was completely present throughout the following day. He was beyond prepared, which not only made us feel comfortable and confident going into the interview, but also made the 20-minute interview itself extremely easy. The immigration officer approved our case on the spot, and we thank Evan's outstanding professionalism and preparation to be the main cause of that! Although there were delays that were out of our control, we received my husband's green card almost a year to the day we filed our paperwork. Evan: We are so thankful to have had your support and advice every step of the way throughout the past year. Looking back where we were this time last year...the feeling is priceless! We 100% recommend Evan Shane and his firm and would choose him every time.

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY

We would very strongly recommend Evan Shane.We felt very confident in Mr.Evan Shane counsel and enjoyed the hospitality at his office. Mr. Shane and his team quickly understood the complexity of our case and came up with options to deal with a seemingly hopeless case. If you have search this firm yo...u need to call them immediately and make an appointment. If you are looking for great results you must hire them. I have been in the USA for more then 20 yr and have been thorough a lot of so called lawyers. This time i can truly say this is the absolute best decision we have ever made.Mr. Shane and his team made this process less stressful. This firm has made our family feel like their own. Thank you Mr. Evan Shane

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
