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.

US Army Master Sergeant Randy Sergent SR

In my opinion Shane is one of the best Attorneys in the State of Texas. He helped us in an injury case against a big box company. He kept us informed with all phases of the case. His uplifting spirit helped us during the case.

Thank You for Your Unparalleled Commitment and Professionalism

I was involved in a rear-end vehicle accident. The insurance representatives for the at-fault party were very dismissive from the beginning. I called several lawyers and chose Mr. McLelland because he was courteous, knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. He patiently explained the legal proc...ess and advised me to concentrate on recovering from my injuries. I received treatment for several months and Mr. McClelland along with his staff were always available when I had questions. The support I received through the entire process is truly commendable. Finding him was a great blessing! His commitment to my case allowed me to receive a settlement that was not only favorable, but also covered all my medical expenses. Thank you, Mr. McClelland and staff!!!

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.”"

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."
