Horrible Lawyer

Shane helped destroy mine and my children’s lives. I would never ever recommend him to anybody unless I wanted their lives destroyed by Shane Nielsen. Stay away from him.

Excellent Attorney!

If you have a complex case like I did, Shane is your guy. I had settled in court after a 5 year battle with my ex. Less than a year goes by, my child was in a dangerous situation involving my ex and I needed someone intelligent, quick on their toes, willing to fight hard, knowledgeable on safety of c...hildren and also someone who is available to answer my many questions. I found that in Shane. He was there to focus on the problem at hand, but was also very compassionate during this delicate time. Shane was quick to follow up on every email and phone call with me and the other attorneys. Never gave me false hope, just the facts and the direction the case was going in. Shane is an amazing communicator and is not intimidated if your ex has an aggressive attorney, he stands his ground, is extremely knowledgeable and does not put up with any nonsense. Thanks to Shane, my case has now been settled and we no longer have to return to court. Shane not only met, but he exceeded my expectations.
