3 words: Professionalism, patience and perseverance

i read a lot of reviews and i met some (consultations) then i finally chose Evan Shane.. i am so glad i did that ! When i first met him, He was very professional yet he truly cares about your case..i felt it was easier to talk to him than the others i met .. he is more like a friend than your lawy...er.. he simplifies things ..he and his staff were really organized and professional .. it was a pleasure working with them When things didnt go as we planned and i was really UNLUCKY in many issues ..he didnt just settle or whatever, he stepped up and put it upon himself to fix it immediately. Really he did his best and it was the best that could be done. When i was convinced it is not possible for me ..he called me and offered to do it WITHOUT EVEN GETTING PAID ! Few months later, after few interviews and lots of paperwork, i am finally a PROUD AMERICAN CITIZEN .. thanks to his great effort. Had my ceremony few weeks ago and one of the best days of my life ! Really i could not have done it without him. He is my hero ! I wanted to add this review to share my story and to help future applicants.. I fully recommend Evan to anybody who feels he deserves to be a citizen and needs a lawyer to help ease the process and NEVER give up on their case ...

True meaning of a lawyer

Evan has displayed qualities of what it means to take your job seriously. He is true to his word and tells you like it is. He is the meaning of a great lawyer who knows his job and works tirelessly to be at the forefront of emerging and ever changing immigration laws and clauses. Evan is not afraid ...to roll up his sleeves and fight a good law fight. He displays this spirit when things seem dull. I remember getting a call that I was out of status due a technicality, upon hearing that, Evan got to work, he analyzed the best and most cost effective route and took me from that status to a permanent resident with the same year. Kudos to the entire Shane group. A huge thanks from my family to your law family. I would not hesitate to recommend your professional, knowledgeable and courteous staff to friends and family, because I know they would be in excellent care. Please continue to provide the quality service that you do. Shane and Shane my el numero uno lawyers.

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.

Worth every cent

We hired Evan Shane's office for the green card application for one of us. The office charges a flat fee and handled everything for us and kept us duly informed of all steps to be taken. Less than four months later we were invited for our interview. Evan gave us an extensive list of documents to com...pile and surely thanks to same the interview was more or less a pro forma and very short conversation after which we were secured of the green card. We definitely recommend hiring Evan and partners for any immigration issues you may have.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
