Review Shane Kersh

Great family attorney

Posted by

Shane Kersh and his staff represented us over the past two years with family matters, and they were there to guide and support us every step of the way. We could not have been more pleased with their dedication and professionalism throughout the process. If you find yourself in need of an attorney in Brazoria or Harris County, I strongly recommend you give Shane a call.

The most amazing, aggressive lawyer out there;

Posted by

Mr. Kersh is an absolute shark in the court room, to say the least! He is aggressive and will make sure you get the outcome that you have so badly wanted since your first office visit. He is extremely attentive to EVERY detail withhin the case and wont miss a beat. You will learn that he genuily cares about his clients and their case. He will work day and night to make sure that everything is prepared and ready for you. He is always there to speak to when you have a question, or worry. He can turn a bad situation into a fair one and definitely has his clients backs. He made me feel nothing but safe withhin the court room and with my case. He knows exactly what he is doing and he won't stop until justice is served. He doesn't back down and he doesn't settle. He takes care of his clients better than any other lawyer that I have had. I will never hire another. I know I'm in the absolute best of hands with Mr. Kersh representing me.

Amazing advocate and attentive ally

Posted by

Mr. Kersh has served us on a couple of family related matters. He was attentive to our needs and clearly focused on our process. Our son, who was the predominant member of all of our needs, was his primary concern and could not have prayed for a better voice. He is well-versed in law and is very aware of the make-up of the Harris County court system and its players. I cannot recommend him more strongly.

Shane Kersh is an excellent attorney. He never shows up to court without being fully prepared. He has a clear understanding of the law and is an extremely effective litigator. You cannot go wrong with Mr. Kersh on your team.

Shane has "it." "It" in this case being a knack for skillful presentation of his clients' cases in a persuasive manner. I've enjoyed my conversations with Shane about the law and always enjoy watching him argue in the courthouse.
