Committed Attorney who cares. If he cant do it, it cant be done!

It has been a long road from beginning to the end but Evan and his staff were amazing. My immigration case was very difficult, but from the beginning Evan was very honest and forthright about the potential outcomes. Due to his many positive attributes, I trusted that with him as my lawyer i would hav...e a positive outcome and i did. Evan is very knowledgeable about immigration law and is willing to do the research that it sometimes takes to defend or represent his client. Evan showed great perseverance throughout the time my case was pending and always kept me informed every step of the way. The most important attribute that Evan possesses is that he cares, he not only cares about the outcome he actually cares about his clients. He knows the importance of his work and how it affects lives, and his commitment to his work shows that. I would recommend Evan to anyone who needs an immigration lawyer. I truly believe that if he cant do, it it cant be done. No one works harder, is more knowledgeable, smarter and cares more.

THE CASE NO OTHER LAWYER WOULD TAKE ON BUT EVAN SHANE. CLEAR DEPORTATION AND GRANTED MY GREEN CARD

If you are looking for a lawyer search no more Evan Shane is the best immigration lawyer you will get. I hired Evan with a very difficult case that one of the best lawyer in Miami refused to take on and also I went to another attorney in west palm beach who told me he's not going to take my money and... can't win my case as I was deny twice by immigration so he advise me to volunteer deportation. All hope was lost. I was recommend by a client his dad once represent. Evan Shane ask me to tell him everything from when I entered the country to what brought into deportatio n status. I truthfully tell him everything and he accepted my case. He promise to keep me out of the court house which he did and represent me at all court dates. He email and mail all documents on my case. He got me out of deportation, he also got me a driver's license while I was in deportation proceeding. I had trouble at the DMV who refuse to grant me the license without a green card or work permit. I called him and explain to him that they will not give me the license he said to speak to a supervisor which I did the supervisor refuse to license he said to get the officer name as they have no rights to deny me the license. then Evan email me immigration law act to show them that am qualified for the license which I did and then they gave it to me. I got my work permit and 8 months later a schedule interview. EVAN prep me on what to expect and how to conduct my self in the interview he makes you feel comfortable before you go in to an officer just be truthful and only answer what I am ask. I nail my interview and my green card was granted. Everyone who knew how difficult my case was couldn't not believe when I told them I get it. When I saw my file it was so thick he had put in a lot of work. EVAN SHANE BEST IMMIGRATION LAWYER.

Outstanding Counsel

Attorney Evan Shane is an excellent Counsel of the highest repute. He made me feel at ease during our meetings but was professional and honest in his legal advice. He was always punctual whenever we had to go court and his advocacy skills were abundantly evident during proceedings. Needless to say, m...y case was successfully resolved and my legal issue lasting over 20 years was finally resolved favorably through the efforts of Attorney Shane. I am eternally grateful to Mr Shane and his office staff and hands on heart, I can unequivocally say I recommend Mr. Shane as an outstanding and effective attorney.

  • 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.
