Shane C. Nielson

I highly recommend Shane Nielson at Family Law in Livermore, CA. Not only did Shane understand the complexity of a 5 year, long, high-conflict case, he was able to listen with care while keeping things "practical" (things in court aren't practical at times). He obviously understood every aspect of fa...mily law, he knew of the judges, and of the petitioners lawyers as well (he had multiple). I believe Shane kept it classy while on and off the field, which I found it interesting when petitioners lawyer talked about his client before a hearing (although interesting, it was unprofessional). I applaud Shane for handling that as he did. Shane's knowledge of how to navigate the court system with admissible documentation and the unwavering intolerance for hearsay kept me on the right track. He told it to me straight when he needed to, pulled the trigger when the time was right (figuratively), and never let me get too far ahead of myself (which is easy to do). His advice was always priceless. On point. And in my opinion, worth the very expensive bills. My kids safety was everything to me, so thank you for that, Shane. The impact you made was all together priceless, and you made a pretty good counselor at times too (even though it was clear that I needed a therapist and not a lawyer at times, but for 5 years, you were it)!! It was nice that we were able to settle right before trial. If you need a family law attorney, I highly recommend Mr. Nielson.

I would definitely recommend Shane Nielson he is so true and passionate and his work and presence says it all. I hired Shane for a personal case that I do not want to disclose, but I can say it was the best decision I have ever made by hiring him. We were able to win our case could not ask for a bett...er outcome. As we all know being in court is not a pleasant environment to be in, our nerves feel all over the place. But, I was able to walk into court with strength and confidence knowing that I have an attorney like Shane standing right next to me. His calm, positive and confident demeanor allows you to feel that you are in good hands and puts your mind at peace. Thank You for all you have done.

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.

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.

Shane Nielson is an extremely dedicated and knowledgeable professional. I’ve consulted with him numerous times and also referred clients to him to resolve property disputes amicably. He’s an excellent listener and has always been timely and respectful of my goals. He's a talented negotiator who op...erates with warmth and empathy, as well as an all around great guy. Thank you Shane!
