R. Shane McFarland

I used Shane and his team once again. This time was to ensure that my daughter was to remain living in Texas with me. This is the third time that I have needed help from the McFarland Law Firm. This was my first time working with his new team that includes Mo and Anna. Once again, McFarland law d...id not disappoint. Communication was clear, honest, and above all constant. Brilliant strategies in court. Shane and team were very honest and clear about all the options that could happen moving forward so that there were no real surprises. Shane will tell you what you don't want to hear as well. This kind of honesty is important as well. Shane and his team demonstrated the upmost professionalism towards the the other parties involved even when emotions ran a bit high. The fact that I have used and trusted Shane McFarland and his team three times should be a review enough. In the event that I need help with a family law issue, I will make one call to R. Shane McFarland. Hire him!

I hired McFarland Law to represent me in my divorce and the subsequent appeal. I found Mr McFarland provided sound counsel based on deep family law expertise, and also he and his staff went far beyond when the going got tough with a short deadline and a mountain of records to tease apart to reveal th...e truth. Also he was very effective in the courtroom. I am grateful for his guidance and representation, and for the excellent communication we had. I don't hesitate to recommend him most highly.

I highly recommend R. Shane McFarland for your family law / child custody case. He is highly knowledgeable of case law, he can respond quickly and effectively to any unexpected curve balls, and he will fight for your rights as a parent. Other family lawyers in Austin recognize and respect Mr. McFar...land. He will be honest and upfront with you, and recommend the best course of legal action. He does not churn legal fees, and will not waste anyone's time or money. He has a great reputation in Travis County, because he maintains integrity. I had a bad custody battle because my son's mother wanted to leave the state and cut me out of my son's life. I hired Shane midway through the case, and he put a stop to all of the nonsense and dirty tricks that her lawyers had been doing. He clearly advised me of my rights as a parent and made competent recommendations for how to manage the situation with my son's mother. Without Shane's help and advice, I know I would have lost my son. Since the final orders were issued, I've retained him twice for enforcements, and he has won both cases. He has always been honest and clear about the situations. No matter what the situation that lead us into court, Mr. McFarland delivered effective council and did a great job.

I have every confidence in Shane and Stephanie McFarland. Even in the best of circumstances, getting divorced disrupts nearly every aspect of one's life. As I navigated the uncertainty and change for our family, it was a relief to feel sure that I had wise counsel from the McFarland team. Shane, S...tephanie, Mo, and Anna were consistently responsive and dependable, freeing me to focus on the needs of my children and the demands of my work and responsibilities. When something was required of me, the team explained it well and gave me ample time to gather what was needed. Shane and Stephanie were easy to work with, remembered the particulars that mattered, had the legal expertise and know-how that my case required, were ALWAYS prepared, and recommended options that aligned with my most tightly held values. At every turn, Shane and Stephanie remained clear thinking, level headed, and unfailingly reliable. In the midst of the heartache and worry of my divorce, I could count on the skill and the compassion of the McFarland team.
