Robert J Shane's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have been in the law practice for nearly thirty years. Over this time, I have come to know Rob both professionally and personally. He exhibits the highest standards of ethics and competency. Because I do not practice in criminal law, or in a few other areas of Rob's expertise, I have referred a number of my clients or their children to Rob when they were in need of solid, fair, and competent representation. Without exception, all have been pleased with Rob's demeanor, his command of the law, his ability to negotiate reasonable resolutions and, most importantly, his courtroom skills l when trials become necessary. I recommend him without exception. Although originally from Wisconsin, he is now one of Minnesota's finest. You can hire the slicksters with the fancy ads and puffed up promises for near all of the money in your bank account only to be disappointed, or you can hire Rob for straightforward counsel at a very fair price. Your call. Make it the right one."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"An experienced, principled and effective criminal defense attorney with a track record of success. Mr. Shane earns his clients' respect."
