Highly recommended!!!!

We found Evan Shane through my uncle who lives in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. At the time, my fiancé and I were living in Honduras and only had email for our main source of communication with Evan. He would answer every question I had promptly and clearly. I never felt like we were pushed aside or forg...otten about. He always made me feel like our case was the most important. He was very knowledgeable and educated in the visa process. We had a lot of trials and tribulations during our visa process,due to my husbands country, but Evan always kept us positive and helped us see the light at the end of the tunnel. We highly recommend Evan. He is a very caring person and only works to make sure families are together in the end!!!

Evan Shane is the lawyer for you!

Lawyer Evan Shane I can truly say is the best. Went in to see him with reservation, but with faith and a strong positive attitude from him, I not only got what we requested, but he kept me informed, up to date and was very kind and most important very patient with me. I know going to him, with his st...rong work ethics you can get a positive outcome!

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.

Absolutely outstanding!

My wife and I hired Evan Shane and we couldn't have been more pleased with our decision to go with him and his office. Although our US Green Card application could have been a straightforward one, we needed the services of a reputable law office to assist us due to a criminal charge over three decade...s ago. It was a challenging and frustrating process that required a Waiver of Admissibility due to records of the charge, and pardon that were destroyed long ago back in Canada. Evan handled our case with complete professionalism, integrity and compassion. In one instance, a second interview at Immigration he spent over 4 hours with us without adding on an additional charge for his services, which he could have. He, in our opinion despite Immigration's lack of prompt follow up regarding some points was very proactive in getting Immigration to do their jobs. He made calls to senior officials to push our case and consistently and constantly remained in contact with us. Evan was a pleasure to deal with, and despite some upsetting moments in his office, always remained composed and reassuring. We would have no hesitation in recommending him in the future, and plan to hire him for my US citizenship application. A big thank you to Evan and your office staff for all your assistance!

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.
