Evan Shane - Superb!

The entire process with Evan Shane and his team was professional, efficient and seamless. It was a pleasure working with him and I recommend him most highly.

An EXCELLENT Lawyer!!! 5 Stars

My experience with The Law Offices of Shane and Shane has been astoundingly SUPERB! From the initial meeting and every step along the way, Evan Shane provided me with great counsel and a caring, comforting feel as if a personal friend were walking with me through my case. If I had any questions or ...concerns he was always just a phone call or email away with an answer. He was always pleasant, knowledgeable, and confident which caused his overall tone to be one that diminishes worry and revives hope in the moments where I was overwhelmed. He was also extremely thorough in document presentation, communication, and follow up. In my quest for a lawyer, I prayed to God for someone that would not leave me more worried and concerned than I was before the process started, and God did not disappoint. Thank you Mr. Shane for the excellence in which you perform your job, I would definitely recommend your services to a friend.

THE # 1 IMIGRATION LAWYER

We have had a long history with Evan's father Michael Shane; since the 1990's. Evan has since handled the filing of our citizenship,(self,wife and two sons), and for our mother's Permanent Residency. He is very thorough and knowledgeable. We have recommended several persons to him, and the results ar...e always the same; success! I represent all these persons when I say " Evan, YOU ARE THE BEST!"

Filing for Adjustment of my Immigration Status

On the recommendation of a close family member, my son, a U.S. Citizen, employed the services of Mr. Evan Shane to file for an adjustment of my immigration status. From day one Mr. Shane showed respect for our time by attending to us promptly on our appointments, and was very professional yet ...personable. He was very thorough in explaining the application process to us, and in collecting needed information and documents. My daughter signed as co-sponsor and the income was more than sufficient to qualify for approval. However, Mr. Shane advised that if my son-in-law co-signed also, he being in the same household as my daughter, I would quite likely get through more quickly. This was done and the Application sent off promptly to USCIS. Soon after, I received USCIS' Notice of Action dated 12/24/2012 in the mail, and things just continued to speed up. On 01/24/2013 my Biometrics were taken; on or about 02/18/2013 I got my Work Permit for one year. Then on 10/02/2013, WITHOUT BEING CALLED FOR AN INTERVIEW, I received my Permanent Residence ('Green') Card in the mail!! Everything successfully completed in less than one year. I no longer have to be looking over my shoulder in fear of deportation. Such a stark contrast to the result, or absence of result, from an attorney whom my mom, a U.S. Citizen, hired when she filed for me in 12/2002. Not even a Work Permit to show. Mr. Shane, you truly delivered. Just as you promised. Thank you so very much for the fast and efficient work which you did for me, along with Cassandra, your very capable and courteous assistant. I will continue to proudly recommend you to any of my family, friends or acquaintances who need the services of an Immigration attorney!!

Better than the Best

I had a very unique situation and never thought the day would come for me to even have a Florida Id. Now I have all my working documents and am on my way to becoming a citizen. I can never thank Mr. Evan Shane and his father enough. Wasted so much time with lawyers who had no time or information for ...me. Anytime I have called, I was able to speak with Mr.Shane directly and was never rushed off the phone. God Bless you guys :)

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. 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.
