Charles P. Shane

I retained Mr. Shane to represent me to amend the parenting plan with my daughter's mother. I could go into all the piddly details but instead I will tell you that Mr. Shane is very good at what he does! He replies promptly to email, he returns phone calls. Yes, these are things that I would expect... from an attorney but he definitely follows through. He explains why some things should be done a certain way. If you have an idea about something but he doesn't think it will help or improve your case, he doesn't just say no. Instead, he takes the time to explain why and ultimately, it's the clients' decision. We were able to get the parenting plan updated to satisfy what is in the best interest of my daughter. I would also comment that Jazmyn, Mr. Shane's paralegal, is excellent too. She took all of my calls and was able to put my mind at ease, which was often.

Charlie Shane was a beacon of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of resolution seemed impossible. Not only was he able to modify child support from a different county and over a decade old document but also represent me as a single parent supporting my f...amily as a sole proprietor in business. He is calm and friendly. He was able to come to bat for myself and those I care about most. My children and I are grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr. Shane without reservation.

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.

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.

Charlie and Nicolette maintained excellent communication throughout the entirety of my divorce process. They never asked for the same thing twice. They were organized and fully prepared. When settlement time came around, no rock was left unturned and we quickly settled. Their industry experience is s...imply unmatched on this side of the water. They are hands-down the best in the business. Forever grateful
