The best lawyer money can buy

I would never hire anyone else for a legal matter. I had an ex that was attempting to leave the state with my newborn child. Shane immediately took action, solidified my primary custody, and accomplished all this at a bare minimum of cost to me. He is not only my lawyer but I consider him a close fri...end.

DO NOT HIRE SHANE, overconfident moron! Negative star.

I have found many good reviews on Shane which led me to choose him with a custody issue. Not only did Shane NEVER return my calls, he also got me absolutely nowhere and actually lost me holidays with my child. He was late to mediation and lied to me in mediation about the person bringing me there p...aying fees. His charging was absolutely off and for a 5 minute phone call, I was always charged 0.5 hours. Long process and got nowhere. He is a complete idiot and arrogant jerk, that thinks he is something else. Luckily I have found a new lawyer in that area to go back and get my daughter full time, who also said I made a mistake going to Shane. I will post my review on the new lawyer as he is the same pricing but much more enthusiastic and is determined to get my holidays, possible full custody, and the ex to pay all legal fees, including the ones Shane stated she would pay. WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!!!

Since this review was posted anonymously, we have no way of knowing whether this person is an actual former client, opposing party who is unhappy our client received a favorable outcome or someone else. That said, we pride ourselves on returning our client's calls. Our phones are even forwarded to one of our attorneys on nights and weekends. If you leave a message, you will always receive a return call, usually within the hour. We find it interesting that this alleged client claims we "NEVER" returned their calls but, somehow "always" billed him for our telephone conversations. As for mediations, our attorneys usually have the client meet us at the office so we may ride together to ensure we are early. We always send a letter in advance telling our clients to bring enough money to cover at least two (2) hours of the mediators time. We send detailed bills showing any and all work performed on a given case. If a client disputes any aspect of our billing, we review it with them and, if necessary, make adjustments. As for legal fees, we NEVER promise any client that the other side will pay all of the legal fees. Each party is responsible for their own legal fees unless 1. The Court orders otherwise or; 2. One of the parties agrees to pay the other's legal fees.

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!

If you need a lawyer call Shane Taylor

Mr. Taylor was better than I expected any lawyer could be. His office staff are super friendly too. Very helpful and got everything taken care of. I had a divorce and criminal charge - related to the divorce unfortunately. I was able to keep them separate and both were resolved to my satisfaction. My... concern was keeping my children and Shane told me mediation would be better than a court hearing because of the facts of my case and it worked out with my (ex) wife so that we share custody. The charge was dismissed and I am happy with both outcomes. He really saved me when I needed a lot of help.
