Excellent

I hired Shane for my divorce. I had been served but waited several weeks to hire him. He was still able to quickly get into the case and get a a favorable result. He and his staff were always there when I needed them. Shane even returned my call when I was having visitation issues over a holiday ...weekend. I hope I never have to go back to court again but, if I do, I will hire him again.

GREAT ATTORNEY FOR LARGE AND SMALL ISSUES

One afternoon, at 4:30 pm, my daughter told she had a court hearing scheduled the next day at 9:00 am for a moving violation. I know that no matter how small an issue may seem, you will receive a better outcome when represented by an attorney. I called Shane's office 15 minutes before they closed for... the day and to my surprise I was told they could be in court the next morning. I immediately hired Shane to represent my daughter in court. Shane is extremely prompt, educated, informative and effective. If ever needed, I would hire Shane A Taylor and Associates again!

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.
