A Dedicated and Authentic Lawyer

Mr Evan Shane, handled my Immigration case. I was not certain which Lawyer to hire as they are so many out there. However, during my consultation visit with Mr Shane, I knew I need not look any further. He was very patient, and detailed with relaying information and answering my questions. Througho...ut the duration of my case, Mr Shane's professionalism, personality and reception was as consistent as my consulting session. Often times one would presume, after retaining/hiring a Lawyer, it would be difficult to get a hold of your Lawyer and get frequent updates. With Mr Shane, the reliable perception I gathered at the consultation visit, remained throughout the duration of the case. To God I'm grateful and to Mr Shane my appreciation and high regards, my case is successfully closed. I would not hesitate to recommend or hire again, my knowledgeable attorney Evan Shane. Thanks to Mr Shane and his dedicated professional team.

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.

Unparalleled Success

From your first conversation with Mr. Shane, you immediately become aware of his integrity and commitment, and moreover, the passion he exudes for his work. He explained his legal strategy in great detail and in the process spent as much time as necessary to answer questions that arose from his expla...nations. Any concern we raised was immediately addressed. Evan was always courteous and attentive, making us feel that our case was the only one being handled by the firm, when in reality we were likely one of hundreds of clients. Mr. Shane was honest in his assessment of the case and while some of his legal opinions were hard to accept at the time, he never made promises he could not keep. In addition to providing factual information, he explained his legal strategy in great detail and in the process we became cautiously hopeful. Finally, with Mr. Shane’s knowledge, expertise and passion for his work, he was successful in bringing positive results and closure to my family after many years of uncertainty. I would without reservation recommend him for all your immigration needs regardless of how hopeless it may seem at the time. His one requirement is upfront honesty for excellent legal representation.

Awesome Attorney

Evan Shane is an Immigration attorney that I hired roughly six months ago that is actually still handling my case. This Gentleman has been nothing short of extraordinary in so many ways. Just for starters, I’d like to say he is extremely knowledgeable and has always answered all of my questions in a ...very professional and timely matter. On top of that all of the answers have been right on target as he guided me and my wife through this very important and tedious process. I also must add that no matter when I have contacted him his response time even shocked me. I mean, when I e mailed him after hours in the evening as well as weekends including Sunday he has responded on the same day which in my opinion is extremely unheard of. I must also mention that the Team of Michael Shane and Evan Shane along with their whole staff have been true Professionals in every sense of the word. Both attorneys as well as the staff are also very personable and sensitive to whatever issues are involved. In Conclusion I would highly recommend them to my friends and family regarding any Immigration issue and would have all the confidence in the world that they would get the same special attention just as I received.
