Fantastic Attorney!

We had a very difficult case-Great Aunt/Uncle custody case. He is extremely knowledgeable of Texas Custody laws. Anytime I had questions, major concerns or issues that came up, he and his staff quickly responded. Very thankful to have Shane Kersh on our side. Highly recommend.

Great family attorney

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;

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 care...s 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.
