Verified Client
Hired Attorney 2024

I hired Shane to represent me in multiple shoplifting cases involving Target, and after doing thorough research and consulting with several attorneys, choosing Shane was undoubtedly one of the best decisions I’ve made. What stood out to me about Shane was his deep knowledge of these specific charges, his extensive experience in the courts I was dealing with, and his ability to provide clear, honest guidance without overpromising. He made me feel at ease throughout the process, which was incredibly important to me. Shane was always available to answer my questions and provided unwavering support. During my hearings, he handled everything with exceptional professionalism, effectively addressing the situation and negotiating the best possible outcome for me. His skill in the courtroom and his genuine care for his clients are unparalleled. Not only is Shane an outstanding attorney, but he is also a person of great integrity. At a time when I was feeling stressed and uncertain, Shane gave me the confidence and reassurance I needed. I wholeheartedly recommend Shane to anyone in need of legal representation. Do your research, but I’m confident that, like me, you’ll find that Shane is the attorney you can trust and rely on. You won’t be disappointed.

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.
