Highly recommend

Shane is a very professional attorney with an attention to details. He's very interested in you as a person not just as a client. He takes his time to get to know you and your situation and works very hard to what you deserve while not charging high fees/costs. I highly recommend Shane.

Awesome attorney

Mr. Pariseau did an excellent job in handling my criminal case. He made a lengthy complicated case with numerous witness into a simple case, were i ended up paying a simple fine. By cutting a fair deal with the D.A he saved me lots of money, stress and the possibility of losing my driver's license ...and paying heavy fine. All I want to say is thank you Mr. Pariseau and I would recommend you to any person who reads my review and it's seeking excellent legal representation.

The Right Man for the Job

I contacted Attorney Pariseau to represent me on an ex parte hearing scheduled for the following day. Attorney Pariseau, was able to review my file, access the situation, and appear at court the following morning, and obtained an order for both custody and sole visitation in my favor. He was able t...o put me in contact with the District Attorney's child abduction unit, and he corresponded with a police detective, all in an effort to get my children back to their father. He provided exceptional services, and I couldn't be more pleased. I would definitely recommend Attorney Pariseau, and will use him again if I am in need of further legal representation.

Great attorney and service

I used Mr. Pariseau on a complicated matter and was very satisfied with his services. I have since referred him to both friends, and family, and each referral has since thanked me, as they have been pleased with Mr. Pariseau's service, and their case resolutions. I therefore can recommend him witho...ut reservation.

Walked the Green Mile with Me!

I sought out Mr. Shane Pariseau during a very frightening time in my life. Though raised in a home where I was taught the importance of not breaking the law, I confronted the law as I was falsely accused of a crime. Unfortunately, I was placed in the position of having to seek legal representation.... My biggest fear in doing so stemmed from friends and family advising me that lawyer’s only care about monetary compensation. Mr. Pariseau proved that some attorney’s are humble human beings seeking the best interest of their client. My case lasted about a year, and once in trial it lasted about three weeks and a half. There were days when I felt I was walking the green mile, and Mr. Pariseau walked it right along with me. During closing in my trial, I was convinced that Mr. Pariseau was breathing and living my case at heart, and thanks to that I had my first win. I feel very blessed to have hired such a wonderful person as an attorney. I 100 percent recommend his services.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I needed an attorney to handle a family law matter for a family member that I could not represent myself. As a result we hired Shane. He worked through a very difficult case, which included 12 days in trial. During that time, I got the chance to see him in action and I am glad that we retained him as he worked tirelessly and did all that he could to get the best possible result. His fees were reasonable and he was easy to work with. I would call him again should the need ever arise."
