The BEST lawyers in town!

Going through a divorce has been the most stressful thing in my entire life, and it is not something I could have done on my own. Before contacting Shane, I had interviewed several lawyers over the course of a few weeks. By far, I felt the most comfortable with Shane and Kayla. I felt they understood... my case better than anyone, and it was clear from the very beginning that they would give 100% to my case. Through the entire process, they responded quickly to emails, were great at giving legal advice, and not only were they extremely professional, but they were also personable and sensitive to my needs during this trying time. I would highly recommend either Shane or Kayla to anyone looking for a lawyer who will fight your battles for you, a lawyer who cares, and a lawyer who will get you the settlement you want. I also love Shannon, their paralegal. She brought positivity to an otherwise trying time, and they all worked together in perfect harmony. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat (and I hope I still get to stay in touch with them!)

Shane was with us every step of the way

Shane and his firm helped us with the adoption of our daughter, and from the beginning to the end he was there to walk us through the process and make sure that the adoption went smoothly. When some unexpected things came up, Shane worked tirelessly to make sure that we were taken care. We really app...reciate him and his firm, and we are glad that he was recommended to us!

Excellent, timely and professional legal representation.

Shane Marx’s Family Law firm provided me with an excellent, professional representation during my divorce case. Both Shane and his assistant Shannon were pleasure to work with and greatly reduced the stress and anxiety I felt during this time. The entire process from initial consultation to the closi...ng of the case was handled timely and professionally. During the initial consultation, Shane explained to me step by step the process and took time to listen, to make sure he understood every aspect of my case, to be able to take the best direction during the divorce proceeding. Based on the initial consultation he also worked closely with an immigration attorney, to assure the divorce petition would not hinder my pending immigration application. Shane wrote an excellent divorce petition and stipulation that at the end was helpful in my successful immigration application. I am extremely satisfied with Shane’s handling of every aspect of my case. I wholeheartedly recommend Shane and his family law firm!
