Best law firm

I used Shane and Shane five years ago and they really took care of my case. I am very grateful for their help. I will recommend them to anyone.

Posted by Max | September 13, 2013 | Immigration

Dear Evan, Thank you! You are a gift to immigrants and their plea. Max

I found Shane Law through a friend who recommended Michael Shane as a trusted longtime family friend and mentor. Through Michael, I met Evan who was entrusted with our case. Evan did everything he said he will do, in a timely manner, professionally, kind, and always upbeat. I never had the pleasur...e of meeting the Shanes face to face as we lived very far from each other yet I always felt we could trust them and rely on them. My wife and I met over half a dozen attorneys across multiple states over a period of eight years who although kind and interested said our case was too difficult or the options limited. I never heard a negative or doubtful thought come from Evan. Although he was professionally measured in his optimism, we never felt that we did not have a chance to accomplish our daughter's transition as a foreign born teenager to a teenager with the U.S. residency benefits and eventual citizenship as her adoptive parents. We worried about having the money to do this yet never felt that Evan will ask for more money later. We asked and were given a clear cost from the beginning and that never changed. The forms, the fees, the procedures, the time, and all other details were always known to us. Short of making a promise, Evan was diligent, thoughtful, kind, optimistic, confident, and compassionate. I told Evan, when we received the good news that our daughter was now a U.S. resident, to expect for us to stay in touch for a long time as we were eternally grateful, but also because our daughter could not find anyone else we will trust with her immigration matters. As I write this review, I am overwhelmed with emotion as we were blessed the day we meet the Shanes. For us as a family, it has been a blessing and a miracle to have accomplished such a difficult transition. The previous eight years and previous lawyers taught us that Evan was the person that could truly help us. Immigration is always stressful, and for us as a family, times where dark, but never because our attorney, Evan Shane, was the cause. I can say that, we never felt anything else other than confidence, honesty, care, and warmth from our attorney Evan Shane. I wish I could tell you more about our case, but privacy limits me. It was not a simple status adjustment. It involved multiple attorneys across multiple specialties. In closing, in immigration matters there are many unknowns, but Evan Shane is the attorney that can help you when nobody else can. Why? Because of his expertise, humanity, and passion for his clients and their quest for the promise of the American Dream.

Evan you get 5 out of 5

Mr. Evan Justin Shane was an awesome lawyer, very conclusive, honest, informative, profound, genuine and caring about his client. He would rather tell you, the case is not worth wasting time and money on, instead of just taking your money, he is an attorney of integrity. I would give him 5 Stars. Eva...n Shane would keep me informed and up-to-date about any status change. I had lawyers in the past that created so many problems with my status; and stole my money; but, after Evan took the case the process was smooth, honest, and seamless. I would recommend Evan Justin Shane to anyone that is looking for an attorney; best of ‘5’ I give him a 6. I promise you won’t regret in trust me.

Not Just Another Lawyer

I had no relationship prior to engaging Evan Shane, but I now have a lifelong friend. We had a very bad experience with an attorney and my family was in desperate need of help. Evan took on the extremely difficult and unique case head on. He was professional, diligent, and prevented our family fro...m breaking up. Initially my father had attempted to work without an attorney, then we engaged an attorney that did not have our best interest at heart. Our case dealt with immigration and the government which created a large amount of hassle and a case that had gone on too long and seemed unresolvable. Evan was able to apply several different avenues to get the result we wanted. I am forever grateful, and would recommend him 100% for anyone asking and in fact already have. Without trying to sound over the top, I can honestly say that I have never had a better service experience in my entire life.
