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.

Great Service!

I contacted Shane about an issue I needed help with. He gave great advice. He always responded to my phone calls. I really appreciate an attorney who listens and cares.

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.

TOP PRIORITY

I have worked with Shane Taylor and his associates on several occasions and have always been very pleased with his professionalism, attentiveness and willingness to work very hard for me. Shane and his staff are very involved in my case and always prepared in any situation. Anytime you are dealing ...with any kind of family law you want some one who can relate and understand how you are feeling. Shane does that and at the same time explains the law and what to expect in the process. Abby Brown, the senior paralegal, is excellent at communication and following through with all matters. The entire staff stays on top of your case and treats you like you are a top priority.

Forever in debt to this firm.

If you want to win your case choose this guy as your lawyer. Shane put his heart and soul into my custody and relocation case. He was always honest and up front with me, always returned my calls and emails (even on weekends and holidays), and I really felt like he cared about me and my case he didn't... just see me as another clent or case. He's smart and kind but aggressive in the court room. I had a very small chance of winning my case and he made it happen. I will forever be grateful for his work on my case and I will consult him with any other legal needs I may need as long as he is practicing law!
