The real deal...

The service we received at the law firm Shane, Shane and Brauwerman was excellent! I highly recommend Evan Shane if you want success with your immigration process. Other immigration lawyers we worked with were unable to achieve what Evan Shane and his team did. On August, 2013 our case went from ...being simple to complex with our first lawyer. An unforeseen issue had arisen. We needed a lawyer with more experience. On January, 2014 we had contacted Shane, Shane and Brauwerman and felt good about our consultations. However our first attorney advised that it was better to work with a local lawyer in Jacksonville. So the second lawyer we decided on was local and she assured us that our case was easy and she had never lost a case before. Hiring her turned out to be a big mistake. We were issued a Notice of Intent to Deny our application and my I-130 was not approved. Our lawyer’s positive attitude quickly changed. We asked for our case file and she was quick to put it together. She did not seem to be enthusiastic about continuing with our case and at one point she even suggested “you got to know when to quit...” 
We wanted someone who truly understood what our green card application meant to us. We needed a cheerleader and an attitude of success. With much wasted time and money and our case getting more and more complicated we re-contacted the law firm Shane, Shane and Brauwerman. Everyone at the firm we spoke with was professional and personable. The final results proved it was the best move we ever made concerning our immigration process. Our immigration case went from being simple to requiring a I-601 waiver. Evan’s approach to our difficult and complex case was methodical. He explained his approach in resolving each of our immigration issues. Evan is very knowledgeable in immigration law and truly understands how the immigration process works. He and his team did the research to best represent us. They was meticulous at putting our case file together which means that we had to do our part assembling vast amounts of data. While the paperwork seems endless and unending you won’t regret it. You have to be a partner with your attorney. Even though Evan, and his team Maria and Veronica were our primary support, it felt like everyone there was working for us. Evan was able to resolve our immigration issues. Thanks to him, and the team at Shane, Shane and Brauwerman my wife can now live in the United States of America. As Maria said, “It was a bumpy road.” Fortunately, we had chosen the best suspension system for the ride. We highly recommend hiring Evan Shane and his partners for your immigration process.

Best Immigration Attorney Ever !

It is with great pleasure that I recommend Evan Shane and the law firm of Shane, Shane and Brauwerman. Evan handled a complex immigration issue with skill and expertise. He analyzed the issues and throughly explained all consequences, risks, and rewards at every step of the process. As a board cer...tified attorney, I felt secure in his command of the law. He was available for all questions and returned all calls immediately. Evan and his staff were courteous and sensitive to the confidential nature of the legal issues, understood our concerns, and after thoughtful analysis took all necessary steps to minimize exposure. It is without hesitation that I would recommend Evan Shane and his firm for any immigration matter.

The best Immigration Attorney

Evan and his father, Michael, have been successfully representing my family since the early 1990's. They have always been trustworthy, kind, courteous and professional. Without their stellar representation, I cannot imagine where my family and I would be today. I am a US Citizen, who was living ...and working overseas and while there, I met my current spouse. We decided that it was best that we return to the US, but we had no idea how the legal process worked in regards to my spouse living here in accordance with the law. I contacted Evan and his law office and he was able to help and guide us through every step of this very intimidating process. They explained the entire procedure to us (in the finest of details), they filed all of the required paperwork and they gathered all of the evidence needed to show that my spouse and I are truly in a real relationship. To prepare us for the immigration interview, Evan sat down with us on two separate occasions and explained what we should expect. He accompanied us on the interview day and provided excellent representation. Needless to say, my spouse can now legally live and work in the United States. Based on my experience with Evan, I would gladly recommend him to anyone seeking the services of an Immigration Attorney.

BEST IMMIGRATION FIRM IN SO FLO!

Shane, Shane and Brauwerman did an outstanding job in advising & helping us through the extremely difficult and intimidating process of immigration/residency to the US. The firm gave us a tremendous sense of security about our case by being personable and amicable, meticulously organizing our documen...ts, and being accessible via phone/email at all times. No matter how silly our questions were, their team responded in an informative and timely manner that never let us feel insecure about our case, their handling of it, or its outcome. After working with Shane, Evan, Maria, Veronica, and other members of their team, I highly recommend Shane, Shane and Brauwerman to anyone going through immigration. The premium you pay to hire this firm is very well worth it. I will surely work with them again in the future when the next step in my case comes around. Thank you to everyone at SSB for your help!!

Wife's immigration green card process

Our immigration attorney, Evan Shane, and his office did a wonderful job with my wifes application. It was worth every dollar that we spent. Besides supplying the information and some proof that our marriage was legitimate Mr,. SHANE office was a one stop shop. They handled everything and made the wh...ole process very simple and relaxed. They properly prepared us for the interview and their experience was well shared. I would recommend their services to anyone seeking a green card that is a legitimate applicant.
