Charles P. Shane

Charlie skillfully guided me through a contentious divorce involving complex issues. I found him to be ethical, honest, knowledgeable, calm and pleasant to deal with during an unpleasant period in my life. Charlie is very efficient and accomplishes most communications via phone and email, which sav...ed a significant amount of time and money. Charlie ignored the drama and shielded me against the games from my ex and her three attorneys. He kept the process (and me) on track and focused on the issues that were important. Walking through the courthouse with Charlie it quickly became obvious that he was well known, well liked and highly respected by everyone we encountered; courthouse staff, clerks, opposing counsel and the judge. I highly recommend Charlie. He simply gets the job done in a manner that is fair to all concerned.

Charlie dove into my details and laid out a solid plan for my extremely challenging case. As a father of two seeking primary custody, it wasn't going to be easy. Charlie is extremely ethical and he used that standard many times to my advantage as a client. He can change direction on the fly, and som...ehow kept me a step ahead at every turn of my divorce proceeding. During the case my situation would get out of hand and Charlie would quickly bring it all back around. The final outcome was much better than I first expected thanks to him, and my children are with me in their home, which is best for all involved. If you want a lawyer who is a great person and a solid professional Charlie Shane is the guy.

I was referred to Charlie Shane through my employer. My wife and I had agreed on a settlement beforehand, so it was non-confrontational, which is what we both wanted, especially for our children. Charlie and I were able to work everything over e-mail primarily, with phone support, for a flat fee. ...Then we met at the courthouse to finalize it in front of a judge. I highly recommend Charlie if you need to hire a family lawyer.

I found Charlie Shane through my work's employee assistance program. My wife and I were prepared for a fully amicable divorce and I was worried that the process would be very expensive and emotionally taxing. Charlie made it easy, to say the least. We never met in person, everything was handled over ...phone and email. My (now-ex) wife and I were able to split everything amicably and the legal separation took less than a month. No kids, no mortgage made it easier. Charlie made it easy to schedule the divorce proceedings over email automatically, 6-months after the separation. He knew exactly what to do, in the right time, to make our situation right. Charlie made my life infinitely easier. It helps to have someone who knows the ins-and-outs of the legal system in your corner. I would hire Charlie again in a heartbeat. — Happily Separated Roommates Today, Divorced Shortly
