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 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 was referred to R. Shane McFarland from another attorney in 2011. I scheduled an appointment and stated my case to him. The case was about child custody. Shane and his team immediately started requesting information to to build a strong defense. His Paralegal, Michelle Iglesias was a great help i...n this process and easily answered the majority of my question. I was extremely impressed with the level of communication. Mr. McFarland was able to aid me in settling out of court and got me a positive resolution that I could at least work with going forward. I called upon the services of R. Shane McFarland once again in January 2017. This time to clarify a detail of the original order. With the same urgency and attention to detail, Mr. McFarland, Michelle, and team got to work. Everything was handled in a quick and timely manner. I couldn't have asked for more composure and professionalism. The detail was in fact clarified and once again I am able to move on. During these stressful times, Shane and Michelle were able to explain legalities and procedures in a calming demeanor. I will say one last thing, the key to successful representation is 100% honesty and hard work on the clients part. If and when I need legal help or advice concerning family law in the future, I will be contacting R. Shane McFarland.

Shane helped me through a very contentious divorce and custody battle. In the end, I received everything I asked for and will be forever grateful. He was a good listener and made sure I knew what to except at every stage. He also had experience working with the opposing counsel and the judges, whi...ch ended up being important. His long-time paralegal, Michelle, was absolutely fantastic, as well! She was always available to answer questions, no matter how small, and help with logistics. In the end, I ended up paying less than I thought would be necessary. I would recommend Shane to anyone in need of an intelligent and trustworthy advocate.
