R. Shane McFarland

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.

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.
