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 ...

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.

Married Gay Couple Thankful for Shane and his Team

We met with Evan Shane months ago when we got married and from the very beginning he was very professional and attentive to detail. Shane did something that was very small but nonetheless important: he conveyed to us in the very beginning that privacy was very important and assured us that he and... his team maintained confidentiality at all cost even if we knew we had acquaintances or friends in common. That made a world of difference. We're a gay couple and Shane made us feel so comfortable. He demonstrated an environment that was inclusive and welcoming even when we weren't the traditional straight marriage. I highly recommend using their services because everyone we interacted with - Maria, Veronica, among others treated us like we were the only clients at the firm, always took the time to answer our questions and Veronica actually went with us on the day of the interview due to Shane having a personal emergency. Thank you to the team and please consider using their services if you, like us, appreciate professionalism, swift follow-through, privacy, and experience in the process.

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.
