Great Team to Work With

Shane and his team were extremely helpful, they guided me through the process step by step and communicated very well. I especially appreciate that when we received our first offer from the other party Shane explained that they could get more with more time, but if I needed the money we could settle ...at that point. I chose to wait, and Shane and team got me significantly more! I especially want to thank Lisa, who was very helpful and my main point of contact.

"Shane is a helpful and knowledgeable attorney. A pleasure to work with. He is focused on both the details of his case as well as serving the broad picture of his client's needs."

Paul V. Simon headshot
Paul Simon

Employment and labor lawyer | Jan 23

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Shane is a competent, ethical and caring lawyer. While he excels in many areas of the law, he is always willing to roll up his sleeves and learn new areas of the law, as well as staying on top of developments within the law. Too many lawyers see the practice of law as a game of one-upmanship, winning at all costs, and cutting corners when convenient: not Shane; when he gives his word, whether to a client, a judge, or the other side’s lawyer, he keeps it. Shane treats clients the way he would expect to be treated, and that means keeping his clients informed, zealously advocating for his clients, and listening to what his clients really want to achieve. Unfortunately, these are characteristics that have been all-too-often forgotten as a new generation of lawyers sees the privilege of practicing law simply as a license to earn a paycheck and not, as Abraham Lincoln once said that the practice of law provided lawyers: “the opportunity of being a good man.”"

Business lawyer | Jan 16

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Shane is truly a gifted lawyer, with a sharp and inquisitive legal mind. He has the ability to see through the complications of any given case to find the sure and quick path to resolving the matter in his client's favor. In dealing with transactional work, Shane is careful and probing. Shane can and will notice problems in a deal that may not otherwise be detected until long after the deal is done when resolving the issue can be expensive and perilous. By such foresight, he can solve a problem for his client today, and avoid messy litigation months or years down the road."

He also takes a client centered approach that makes his clients feel as though they are part of the process every step of the way."
