Worth every Penny!

I retained Shane Henry and he was upfront from the beginning and did not sugar coat expectations and cost. Communication was amazing with him and Amy their paralegal. They work very quickly and you see all communication with opposing counsel which I did not get from the attorney I had prior to ret...aining him. I got everything I wanted and I owe that to good counsel. I was able to get full custody which was best for my child. It was amazing. If I have to go back to court in the future, I will retain Shane. You will not regret going with Shane! If you are unsure, read the google reviews and do a consult. You will get exceptional service.

Posted by anonymous | May 26, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Best family lawyer in the state

I had been in a long custody fight for 17 years. Shane not only won my case but saved me tens of thousands of dollars through his advocacy. He knows the law well but is best on his feet in the courtroom. Unlike most family law attorneys he is humble and communicative in all my interactions with hi...m and his team. Best in the state.

Posted by Matt | August 31, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Excellent Communicator and Advocate

From the first consultation, my lawyer and his firm worked diligently as advocates for multiple issues, including a criminal matter that was ultimately dismissed. In working that matter, they quickly and easily discovered the exculpatory evidence leading to the dismissal, with each step communicated ...to me as the matter worked its way through the system. By hiring this attorney and his firm, you will be treated fairly and your best interests will be their top priority.

Posted by Kerrie | June 22, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Shane is incredibly smart, very kind and actually listens

After being severely let down by three prior divorce attorneys, I knew I had no choice but to find an attorney that would be prepared to take on my divorce at a very late stage. I made an appointment with Shane and he is completely honest about what he can do for you, then I told him what I needed he...lp with. Very quickly, he had more than one person working my case for me. I could always reach them and most importantly I knew I finally had hired an attorney with high ethics and could get the job done. Can highly recommend.

Thank you Kerrie!

Posted by Diana | August 23, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Best Advocate in Oklahoma

Shane is the kind of attorney that one can usually only dream of. He is dedicated, professional, responsible, punctual, and fair. I hired him for a custody dispute. He returned all of my phone calls and emails. He exceeded all of my expectations when it came to contacting me and keeping me informed. ...Shane did everything in his power to give me the utmost advantage in my case. We settled my case just three months after I hired him. Shane is constantly improving his craft, and making himself a leader in his field. Your decision to hire Shane will rank among the best decisions you can make for your case, whether is it family law (like my case was), criminal law, or any other type of case.
