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.

The very best attorney!

When we hired Evan Shane a couple of months ago, we not only felt comfortable, but also that we were finally in good hands. After years of wasting thousands of dollars and going through multiple attorneys with no positive results, Evan with his professionalism and knowledge, finally helped us secure ...a green card. We honestly cannot put into words how we feel about Evan and his superb law firm. They communicated quickly every step of the way and really made us feel like they cared. From the preparation meetings for our interview, right through to the actual day, Evan was by our side. Not once did we feel like Evan was getting annoyed with all of our questions and of course emotions. Even when the tears flowed after our successful interview, Evan was right there hugging and congratulating us. We would highly recommend Evan for any immigration need. He is absolutely outstanding and if you're looking for an attorney, don't go anywhere else! Evan is worth every penny!

Great Lawyer and Person

Evan was a pleasure to work with. Evan was very detailed with us and explained each step of our process when we hired Evan to assist us with me obtaining my green card through marriage. Evan is very passionate about the work he does which showed each time we communicated. Evan took the opportunit...y to get to know us as people as well. This did not make us feel like a "client" which was important to us. Evan and his team were always clear with their communication and were never frustrated with the number of questions we had. I highly recommend Evan Shane and his firm for your immigration needs. You will not be disappointed.

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.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
