Shane Nielson - Highly Recommend for Family Court Issues

My ex-wife hired an attorney and was stating I hadn't paid child support for my daughter, now a 43-year-old wonderful woman. Shane handled everything for me, even though I live in Washington State and the case was filed in California.He helped prove that my ex-wife wasn't truthful and managed a settl...ement with her attorney that I could live with. It stung, but I'm sure it could've been far worse without his expertise and tenacity. He saved me a lot of money by taking care of this quickly and allowing me to move on, free of fear from her vindictiveness in the future.
