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.

Evan Shane...."Simply The Best"!

As a post D.O.M.A. immigration applicant in mid 2013, my husband and I thought it best to file with the assistance of an immigration lawyer. We spent weeks doing extensive research online before deciding on the services of Shane, Shane & Brauerman. I was very impressed with Michael Shane who condu...cted the initial interview, but then was absolutely “blown away” by his son Evan who personally handled my case. After the very first meeting with Evan, my husband and I knew we had made the best decision. Evan and his staff were extremely professional, kind and warm as they kept us closely informed during each and every step. Special thanks to Maria and Cassandra with whose help, a “famously” detailed and complicated immigration filing process was made smooth and effortless. The anticipation of an immigration interview is a feeling impossible to describe. However, with Evan by our side my husband and I walked into the interview with great confidence. An unforeseen complication arose during my initial I.N.S. interview. What we thought would have been a straight forward, “open and shut” case from filing through interview hit a “terrifying” bump. While I spent weeks literally falling apart, Evan made my success his personal mission. He became increasingly pro-active and did not miss a beat! All while consistently keeping us informed. Ultimately, Evan’s thorough knowledge of U.S. immigration law, experience and incredible tenacity prevailed and today my husband and I are enjoying my new status. Our sincere gratitude to Evan and everyone else at Shane, Shane & Brauerman.

SUPERB LAWYER KNOWN FOR POSITIVE RESULTS........

The Law Firm of Shane & Shane Brauwerman has always produced superb positive results(having dealt with cases for both my father and sister). When we hired Evan 6months ago, he is not only a wonderful person, but a great lawyer, honest , professional and very knowledgeable. In handling my adjustment ...of status case, Evan was very thorough and kept me well informed with any updates received from USCIS and any challenges that may /may not arise in my case. During my interview, which Evan accompanied us, I was especially impressed with the way he was able to counteract what might have been a RFE by the IO. pulling out all the stops and producing information upfront, having done his background research. Today I am very grateful to God, and thankful to Evan for the opportunity to be able to live my American dream with my family. I am now a Permanent Resident. I would highly recommend Evan and his team ....

Superb Service

Evan Shane, from Shane, Shane, & Brauwerman, properly carried out my immigration case and all the complicated issues involved. After many years of hiring other lawyer firms that couldn't resolve my case successfully, Shane, along with his excellent staff, accomplished in finally acquiring residence ...status for myself. Throughout the whole process, I was very well informed of everything going on, I was very calm through the interviews because of him, and he also made me gain much confidence in myself. Shane did NOT overlook any small detail in my case, to the point where an immigration officer conducting my interview said to me, "You have a very smart lawyer." I would recommend any person in need of immigration assistance, no matter how difficult you think your case is, they will help you.
