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.

Shane and his team were great

Shane handled a car wreck case for me. He and his team were great. Shane secured a great settlement for me. He was responsive to my calls and emails, and kept me informed about my case. I highly recommend him.

Client

Shane is unmatchable in both his work ethic and knowledge base in legal matters. He is our general counsel for all business and personal issues. Over the past 2 years we have challenged him with difficult questions on wide variety of legal issues with which we need his expertise in. He always comes t...hrough and handles the situation with confidence and honesty. I would give him my highest recommendation as representation both in my business and in my personal life.

Over the past few years my wife and I were involved in a nasty car accident and we ran into a serious business problem. In both of these situations we turned to Shane McClelland for help. Shane is a person who can take complex situations and wrestle them to the ground, and do it in a manner that is b...oth professional and efficient. Shane has a way of turning messy, emotional problems into a thing of the past, achieving the best possible outcome in the process.

Paul V. Simon headshot

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."
