Verified ClientHired Law firm 2025Shane was absolutely great to work with. My case had a bunch of complications, and honestly, I was pretty stressed about it all. But Shane handled everything like a pro. He kept me in the loop the whole time, broke things down so they were easy to understand, and was always quick to respond when I had questions. What I really appreciated was how calm and confident he was. It helped me stay grounded, even when things got messy. He knew exactly what he was doing, and it showed. He’s super knowledgeable but also just a genuinely easy person to talk to. I never felt rushed or like just another case on his desk. In the end, everything turned out better than I expected, and a lot of that is thanks to Shane. If you need someone who’s sharp, reliable, and easy to work with, I’d highly recommend him.

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2020-2021I caught a gun charge and hired attorney Surrette on it. He fought hard on the case and beat it. Shanes a great attorney and I'm glad he represented me. I'd hire him again in a second.

Hired Law firm 2025I am beyond grateful for Attorney Shane Surrette and the exceptional representation he provided. I contacted him only a day before my scheduled court appearance, and without hesitation, he made himself available and stood by me the very next morning. His confidence, professionalism, and calm presence immediately put me at ease during one of the most stressful moments of my life. Attorney Surrette reviewed my situation thoroughly and worked diligently to have my case dismissed prior to arraignment, and that is exactly what happened. The judge dismissed the case just as he had prepared and advocated for. What impressed me most was his responsiveness, his reassurance, and his ability to take action so quickly while still paying attention to every detail. He treated my case with urgency and genuine care. If you are looking for a lawyer who is dependable, skilled, and truly committed to achieving the best outcome for his clients, I highly recommend Attorney Shane Surrette. I am incredibly thankful for his support and for the peace of mind he gave me throughout this entire process.

Hired Law firm 2024Shane represented myself and my spouse in a shoplifting charge. He made a frightening (and very embarrassing) situation feel less than. He explained each step of the process, kindly checked in, and most importantly: got our desired outcome in the case. He’s great.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
