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.

Worth Every Penny

I spent days into weeks trying to research and read all the legal websites about how to properly fill out and apply for my marriage-to-a-US citizen green card. It felt like for every question I answered I'd have two more questions about it. After talking with a few attorneys, I was really pleased wit...h how Evan handled our questions and concerns. Having him take over our case was a huge stress load off our shoulders. I believe I told my husband I felt "liberated" after we left his office the first time. I cannot express how great it felt to know we were in good hands and legally everything would be filled out correctly. All we had to do was provide the information they needed. After speaking with Evan the second time, I realized just how many mistakes we made on the forms we did ourselves. With something as sensitive as this, we didn't want to leave any space empty and have our case doubted in any way. Evan and his team were simply incredible. Professionally, he handled our case perfectly, covering every detail and ensuring the smoothest process, we were definitely grateful. Personally, he treated my husband and I like truly valued patrons. Though the office was quite the drive from where we are, Evan made our meetings pleasant and never rushed. I know I have a tendency to ask a lot of questions, Evan made sure to answer them all without interruption. One of the most important things we felt was that Evan and staff were very honest with us. What to expect in real time and how things in our situation could possibly turn out. I really appreciated his honesty and advice. The office assistants were extremely friendly and always a pleasure to see. I would highly recommend Evan Shane to anyone seeking a fast, accurate, safe and very informative attorney. I know my husband and I couldn't be happier.

I cannot speak highly enough!

Both Evan Shane and his father are a pleasure to work with; Professional, friendly and extremely helpful, always willing to go the extra mile for their clients. My only regret is that I didn't find them earlier. After several years of trying to navigate the immigration system alone (and failing spect...acularly!), Evan said 'leave everything to me and stop worrying'. Mr Shane helped me compile such an air-tight evidence file that USCIS didn't even request an additional interview - my Green Card arrived last week, a month earlier than expected, and I couldn't be more thrilled!
