Just don’t do it

This was a waste of time and money i had to hire another attorney to do the work I paid him to do after he got paid he couldn’t be contacted by phone email or certified mail even by the state bar

Worst Attorney Ever

Here’s the updated review: I hired Shawn Laney, paying $1,500, with the hope of receiving competent legal representation, but unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. In my case, there was a noticeable lack of communication—my calls and messages often went unanswered, leaving me f...eeling unrepresented and frustrated. Based on my experience, I feel that I did not receive the level of service I expected or paid for. If you’re considering hiring him, I would recommend carefully evaluating other options to ensure you find someone who will be competent, responsive, and won’t just take your money and run.

Unresponsive

Don’t use this guy. He took our money and never worked on our case. He does not respond to calls, emails or text and is not at the address on Google. The 2nd address is one mail is forwarded to but it’s an apartment building he doesn’t live in.

Unresponsive

He was unresponsive to calls and to emails. He was initially working in the San Antonio area. Then later I found out he had relocated to another city. I had paid my retainer fee but ended receiving half of it.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
