A Jedi within the legal system

Shane and his staff meet and exceed Honesty, Integrity and Professionalism in and out of the court room. You can always expect Mr. Taylor to be 3 steps ahead and already have a plan in motion for any obstacle that may arise. He and his staff are very knowledgeable regarding case law and laws as they... have been written. Your best interest is his top priority and will keep informed in detail every step of way. If you are in need of a lawyer or even think you may need a lawyer for any reason, Shane and his staff are who you want in your corner.

Outstanding

When I found myself in an unexpected and unimaginable custody battle involving the grandmother of my children, I went to Shane Taylor and his firm for help. I found both Shane and his staff to be experienced, responsive, knowledgable and honest. While working with Shane, I felt as though my situati...on was in adept and trustworthy hands. He never steered me wrong. In unvarnished truth, he will tell you exactly where you stand and what direction you should go. He has tenacity coupled with a degree of tenderness, but he never loses site of the end goal, which is to protect, defend and have the best outcome for his client. I would highly recommend Shane to anyone seeking legal representation that is fair, honest and that will keep your best interests and unique needs at the forefront. Should the need ever arise again, I would not hesitate to seek representation from Shane Taylor & Associates.

Would not recommend

Was lied to several times by him and his staff about the status of our case. Never got updates unless we called and asked and then we were charged for the call. Filings were late. Clerks office said his filings always have issues. The ladies in the office were talking to my ex-husband and relaying co...nfidential info to him, I found out after the fact. They thought he wouldn’t repeat it to me, but he did. He and his staff cannot be trusted.

Out of State Case

I heard about Shane Taylor through a local while visiting Alabama after my case began. Not only did he deal with me personally from the beginning...he was always quick to respond to any email or call and even went as far as giving me a ride to the correct courthouse after the clerk gave myself and h...is firm the wrong location to be at the day of court. Everything he assured me of is the way things worked out and I'm more than happy with his services and fair price.

Lost my entire world

I have worked with Shane for almost five years on divorce and child custody issues. For every time he tells you how much he cares it is a sales job. I've had 5 lawyers review his work all of which have responded it was "so so bad". He lacks any initiative. His billing practice are a scheme. Afte...r losing my children, he had the never to suggest I might need medication for being upset! Went from full custody, to limited two days a month visits. A law abiding, rule following, never been in trouble a day in my life citizen- who I might add the father walked out on the kids and never pursued custody initially!! He had the nerve to come to my hearing upset over his dogs' death and missing vacations while all the while never revealing the other side had subpoenaed a witness (which I had asked about on many occasions). Allowed my child to take a stand, under the age of 12. Never took a deposition, refused to push for anything fearing to upset the Judge. All the while assuring me I had a better than 90% chance of success. Even told me he would postpone a hearing if I didn't pay an invoice (under $2000) that I'd had for 7 days. I might add each invoice was always paid in full within 30 days. After all that, stopped accepting my monthly payments, for the last bill, after having to retain another attorney to appeal and undo everything he had done. Yet, was worried kept calling the new lawyer office to ensure nothing bad had been said about him to me. It's about money and ego with this one. On the surface these other folks had good experiences, he will pet on you when it's convenient for him. Do not mistake that for being genuine.
