Charles P. Shane

I was intending on representing myself for trial in a high conflict child custody matter. However, upon getting a Family Court Services report that was potentially going to have a substantial negative impact for my case. I knew them that I needed an attorney. So a week prior to the trial I consulted ...with Charlie and let him know what was going on via zoom. We talked about the specifics and Charlie told me what the courts do and don't want to hear on my behalf. Furthermore, to allow the courts to find out for themselves that the opposing party was making comments, and accusations in bad faith to support there own false narrative. When the trial date came we had the option to get a continuance or do the trial. With only a week of preparation for a very high conflict litigation we decided to go through with the trial. Charlie knew the right questions to ask my witnesses, myself, FCS and the opposing party. The family court services report was not even a factor, and that was my biggest worry! Ultimately the Judge granted that I have my daughter every Thursday afternoon to Sunday evening. He also got a reduction in my child support payments. I give Charlie 5 stars and I highly recommend hiring him for any of your family law matters. He is professional and like a friend all at the same time.

Charlie supported me wholeheartedly from day one of retaining him for my divorce. He is a great listener, offering helpful and applicable advice and guidance. Charlie is very well educated and thoroughly knowledgeable in his field. Charlie pushed to make sure I was heard and I got the results I want...ed! He fought for me until the very end!! Charlie is very personable and easy to work with. He made me feel valued every step of the way. Charlie is who you want working for you in any and every situation! Without a doubt, if legal advice or support is needed, I will always call Charlie Shane.

I hired Charlie to help me with divorcing my high conflict and abusive partner, who lives in WA although I moved to the east coast to get away from him. We have a young son together who lives with me and whose father hasn’t been involved in months but was seeking custody . Charlie has been so helpful... and explains every step of the process; he is reassuring and kind and so very funny. Nicolette and Mark have been on top of my case and are very quick with follow up. With Charlie’s expertise and in depth arguments, we got most of what we were arguing for. I am in awe! I definitely couldn’t have gotten this far without him and his brilliant team. I am so very, very happy that he was recommended! He has been a lifesaver, literally, and such a fantastic person to work with. Thank you for all you do, Charlie! I can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done for me and George.
