Charles P. Shane

I retained Charlie Shane for a very hard case in January 2019. From the minute I walked in, Charlie was polite, professional and made me feel comfortable. He listened intently while we went over my case. Within the hour of our first meeting I knew I wanted to retain Charlie and knew he would fight fo...r me. Not only did he come up with an initial plan while we sat there but he called soon after to let me know he came up with more angles for my case. He was a bull dog from the start. Throughout the process he asked and listened to my options on how to proceed. He was always checking in. When we went to court he handled the case like a true pro, objecting to false evidence that had no standing in my case and getting it squashed. He fought for me. He was my Fosteti. Charlie won the case by seeking justice in the darkest time for me. I would highly recommend him and would hire him again, any day.

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.

Charlie was my attorney during a recent divorce. During the several month time period prior to mediation, Charlie was communicative and informative. I felt like my questions were all answered and I had clear expectations of the go-forward path. We settled via mediation. Charlie reflected experien...ce and polish in the proceedings. On numerous occasions during the morning, Charlie gave advice that steered me in the right direction towards a fair, cost-controlled divorce settlement. I highly recommend Charlie's services!

Our case was a non-parental custody case. Charlie was a calm voice of reason not only for me but also the other party. We went from fighting about nearly everything to being able to finally agree on some productive plans with Charlie's assistance. He is super easy to talk to, and always has great adv...ice. He has been an absolute blessing to our family. He helped me go from having 3 hour a week supervised visits to having unsupervised visitations to now having plans for a complete reunification in the upcoming months. He is respectful to both sides but definitely keeps the focus on representing the goals of his client. He is very comfortable in the courtroom and gets along well with judges. To anyone who is feeling lost in their battle or hopeless about achieving a level of peace in their family, please allow Charlie to help you, he's an amazing lawyer and I highly recommend him to anyone. Really can't say enough, he has changed me and my children's lives.

I am a CLC Member and contacted Charles Shane for consultation on a semi-complicated, small claims issue. The issue: months ago my husband, while in the country for a short time, made a verbal agreement with a local gym to only pay a month at a time for membership using his credit card. When he left ...the country, the gym continued to charge his credit card each month, which he unfortunately didn't notice until months later when he was back in the country and they had sent him a "failure to process payment" email. The gym's third party payment service would not refund my husband the roughly $1,200 amount, saying that it wasn't their fault he didn't notice the unauthorized payments. Charles gave me some great advice by suggesting I first, go straight to the credit card company and report the payments as unauthorized transactions and see if the credit card company would "fix" the situation. Then, if that doesn't work, go to court and sue the gym owner. Since my husband didn't sign anything, not even a liability waiver for the gym, we wouldn't have a problem succeeding in court. Charles spoke very "matter-of-factly", was very easy to talk with and answered all my questions. I left the conversation feeling confident that I could take care of the issue myself, and that if I did end up needing an attorney, he would be there to help me.
