Shana D. Velez's Lawyer Endorsements
"Few attorneys balance empathy and precision like Attorney Velez. Her ability to listen deeply and advocate strategically sets her apart. We’re fortunate to have her voice on our team at Johnson Law Group."
"Shana is a tough and compassionate attorney. She fights hard for her clients and gets superb results. You can't get a better lawyer"
"Ms. Velez continues to impress and provide excellent, well-reasoned, and common sense advice on Avvo. I learn from her every day and that is definitely saying something. I have been practicing for 24 years and have been a judge, magistrate, prosecutor, and private attorney. I would recommend her to everyone and anyone."
"Shana is compassionate and very easy to work with. After working with her for a short time, it was apparent to me that she cares deeply for her clients and takes her job seriously."
"I have worked with Shana Higa on numerous criminal-immigration cases. She successfully handled a post-conviction case for one of my clients that was detained by the Department of Homeland Security. The criminal case was reopened and my client was released on bond. My client was reunified with his family due to Shana's hard work."
