Exceptional Immigration Lawyer

My husband and I have nothing but positive feedback for Evan Shane and his team! From his knowledge of the system and what to expect throughout the process, to his 5-star customer service, Evan and/or Maria were always there to answer every question and concern along the way. As one can expect, thi...s process is an extremely stressful waiting game...despite the unknowns and all the things that were out of our control, Evan supported us the best he could and eased our worries. There was not a single email or phone call that was left unattended, and either Evan himself or someone from his team replied within 24 hours--if not much sooner. Upon hiring Evan, he gave us a rundown of the process, which pretty much went the exact way he described. When we finally got notice of our in-person interview, we felt like Evan made our case a priority and cleared his schedule to have multiple preparation phone calls. Evan met us at the location of our interview the night before and was completely present throughout the following day. He was beyond prepared, which not only made us feel comfortable and confident going into the interview, but also made the 20-minute interview itself extremely easy. The immigration officer approved our case on the spot, and we thank Evan's outstanding professionalism and preparation to be the main cause of that! Although there were delays that were out of our control, we received my husband's green card almost a year to the day we filed our paperwork. Evan: We are so thankful to have had your support and advice every step of the way throughout the past year. Looking back where we were this time last year...the feeling is priceless! We 100% recommend Evan Shane and his firm and would choose him every time.

Successful Immigration Result

Evan Shane and his firm represented us with the Immigration Agent regarding our immigration issue. Both he and has staff were thorough and detailed in our representation. They gathered all appropriate documentation and presented it a well organized manner. The staff was responsive and helpful and ...he completely prepared us for our meeting. Overall their representation was superior and I would highly recommend the firm.

Professional and pristine Service

I retained, Evan Shane at the Law office of Shane, Shane and Brauwerman, to file adjustment of status in December 2015. I must applaud Evan Shane and his team for preparing the documents, for filing, in a very timely manner. I received status updates as the filing progressed - in office as well as w...ith the USCIS. I thought this was excellent. My case was approved in 6 months without RFE (request for evidence). I would recommend Shane, Shane and Brauwerman for your immigration needs. They pride themselves with professionalism and pristine service. I am extremely happy.

Florida's Immigration Giant

There isn't enough words to emphasize how incredible the Shane,Shane & Brauwerman law firm is and especially to have met a person, like Mr.Evan Shane. Mr.Evan, was very meticulous in handling our case. He wasn't someone who made us felt only like clients, or just some business relation, but rather mo...re like FAMILY. Imagine being in the presence of strangers with a billion dollars, but yet still being content, having that peaceful, calm feeling of being surrounded with people who ''GENUINELY CARE and YOU CAN TRUST''. We can proudly and confidently say Mr.Evan Shane & the entire law firm, implement such attitude,''VERY CARING and TRUST WORTHY PEOPLE''. Responding to every email, phone call or message, definitely a organized man and firm ''No BS''. That's a person and a team, you need to have representing you without any doubt whatsoever when handling immigration cases. Being clients of Mr Evan, it's very transparent why He's rated as one of Florida's top immigration attorney, however, to us He is the ''TOP ATTORNEY!'' Mr Evan made our journey through this process awesome. With all sincerity and gratitude we thank Mr.Evan Shane and his Superb team for their aid and strongly recommend them with no exception, for all your immigration services.

With gratitude from Indiana

Evan, thank you so much for all you did for us! As nerve-wrecking and challenging as the permanent residency process can be, you helped my husband and me relax and we will always be grateful for your assistance and advice. Thank you for walking with us each step of the way. You and your staff tur...ned the daunting process of compiling documents into a manageable, stress-free experience. Maria was a delight to work with and we greatly appreciated her attention to detail and extremely prompt follow-up, a quality that seems to be a mark of your firm. We have never worked with an attorney who would reply to an email in an hour or so and always made sure we understood the process. Evan, thank you for preparing us for the interview and helping us relax --to the best of our ability :-) My husband and I keep you, your family and your firm in our prayers as you have become part of ours. Your compassionate presence and deep understanding and willingness to answer any questions we had helped us come out of this process with more awareness for so many who do not have the privilege we had of having you as our advocate. We highly recommend you and your firm to anyone who is looking for an immigration attorney. From the first visit we had in your office we were impressed with the high professionalism of your staff; Maria in particular will always be special to us, like you, as we worked primarily with both of you. But please convey our appreciation to your entire staff. We know it always takes a village to bring new life and for my husband and me, the approval of my permanent residency is a life-giving chapter that would not have happened without your above and beyond advocacy. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
