Terrible! Look elsewhere!

The absolute WORST experience I've ever had with an Attorney! Showed up at several hearings unprepared, and didn't even offer any argument at all. He shows little regard for his clients or his profession and seems to drag matters out and delay hearings just to increase his fees with little to no as...sistance for his clients. I would highly recommend staying away from trusting any legal matter to this man.

Excellent Work

I hired Shane at the 11th hour when I realized my previous attorney was not up to par on handling what should have been a relatively simple divorce. He came up to speed very quickly without requiring a lot of time or effort on my part and his advice made the mediation go very smoothly. Overall he h...elped me through easily the most difficult moment of my life. I would highly recommend him if you ever find yourself needing a strong advocate in a divorce matter.

Great Attorney!

After previously using another attorney and feeling it wasn't quite the right fit, I reached out to friends looking for a recommendation for a great family law attorney. I was referred to Shane from multiple people. After meeting with him I was completely confident he was a better fit. There are many... attorneys that will tell you what you want to hear. Shane gave me an honest assessment and I appreciated that. It was important to me to have someone with integrity as well as skill working for me. Shane was empathetic and caring, but also kept me on the right path, trying to get me to look past the emotion. To this day, I highly recommend him to anyone who asks for a family law attorney.

Personable and Straight Forward

When I made the difficult decision to separate from my husband, and ultimately divorce him, I sought some advice regarding how the split would effect me financially. In my case, I was the sole bread winner and was concerned about debt and possible spousal support. I was comforted after I spoke with... him because my case was relatively straight forward. My main goal was to get things done quickly and to be fair to my ex without being "taken to the cleaners". This was accomplished well within my expectations and I am 100% happy with the results. I would work with Shane again and appreciate the time and effort he had to put in sorting out some pretty "petty" details with my ex (who chose not to get representation and made the process very difficult and expensive b/c he had no knowledge of the law).
