Experience at it's Best

It is not everyday you come across someone so professional and competent. I met with multiple attorneys in the area before deciding on Mr. Shane for his professionalism, experience and knowledge. He and staff are very considerate and diligent in their work. We had an interview for employment based a...djustment of status and were very nervous. Mr. Shane prepared us thoroughly for our interview and invested a vast amount of time on learning and scrutinizing all the information regarding our case. We were approved immediately upon interview and couldn't be happier with the service I received. I would confidently recommend Mr. Shane and his partners to anyone who wants honest, competent and courteous experts.

Need the best help with immigration status? Michael and Evan Shane are the lawyers for you without a doubt.

I deal with attorneys on a professional level on a daily basis and from my first meeting, I saw in Michael and his son Evan a very high caliber and level of competence in what they do. They asked the right questions and showed an enormous amount of care and detail for my family's case. We had a cas...e that was hopeless and they helped us compile all the truthful information needed to paint a clear picture to USCIS and make sure that the application went out so that it would be approved. Our case was approved after multiple rejections. I have since referred them to friends and family and will continue to do so. Their diligence and professionalism have helped my family be reunited and I cannot thank them enough for that. With them you will be in great hands. If any attorneys can make something happen, they will surely be the ones!

We worked with Michael and Evan on a more complex immigration matter. Michael and Evan were spectacular in providing great information and useful solution. Truly thankful I had Michael and Evan. Highly recommend Michael and his team for their knowledge, professionalism and follow through. Micha...el and associates are very thorough and organized when preparing your case and they are always there to answer your questions promptly. I love them! I felt really taken care of. I will not hesitate to recommend his firm to anyone who are looking for an excellent immigration lawyer service. Michael and Evan, thank you very much for my American Dream!!!

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.
