Shane & Shane, P.A.

As a post D.O.M.A. U.S. immigration applicant in mid 2013, my husband and I thought it best to file with the assistance of an immigration lawyer. We spent weeks doing extensive research online before deciding on the services of Shane, Shane & Brauerman.
I was very impressed with Michael Shane who conducted the initial interview, but then was absolutely «blown away» by his son Evan who personally handled my case.
After the very first meeting with Evan, my husband and I knew we had made the right decision.
Evan and his staff were extremely professional, kind and warm as they kept us closely informed during each and every step.
Special thanks to Maria and Cassandra with whose help, a «famously» detailed and complicated immigration filing process was made smooth and effortless.
The anticipation of an immigration interview is a feeling impossible to describe. However, with Evan by our side my husband and I walked into the interview with great confidence.
An unforeseen complication arose during my initial I.N.S. interview.
What we thought would have been a straight forward, «open and shut» case from filing through interview hit a «terrifying» bump.
While I spent weeks literally falling apart, Evan made my success his personal mission. He became increasingly pro-​active and did not miss a beat! All while consistently keeping us informed.
Ultimately, Evan’s thorough knowledge of U.S. immigration law, experience and incredible tenacity prevailed and today my husband and I are enjoying my new status.
Our sincere gratitude to Evan and everyone else at Shane, Shane & Brauerman.
Mr. & Mrs. Shane, you did well!

There are insufficient words to describe this effective, caring, honest attorney. My husband had a case that was next to impossible. Before going to Evan Shane we went to at least 6 other lawyers; 4 of them told us it was impossible to help us; two agreed to take the case, but said it was only to buy us time until immigration laws change, finally we went to an other lawyer whom told us «I would not even touch this case, and there is only one lawyer in SF that can help you» and he gave us Mr. Shane’s number. Mr. Shane was candid, he explained that it was a very difficult case, but it was not impossible. He kept us up to date, communicate often, was always honest and work hard on our behalf. A year has passed and my husband now has his residency and is now waiting to become a citizen. All thanks to the work of Mr. Evan Shane. We will forever be grateful to this outstanding professional and wonderful human being.

A relative of mine had a very difficult Immigration case which many other law offices refused to take on due to the complexity of the case. Not only is Evan a wonderful attorney, he’s a wonderful person! He answered all of my relatives questions, and told her it was a challenge but doable.
Evan personally called her constantly to communicate updates and kept her informed every step of the way. Even when she had to temporarily relocate to another state, Evan was consistent with his updates and personal communications. He worked diligently and was able to get her case approved. Thanks to Evan, she was able to get her work permit, finally renew her driver’s license, and within a week of the interview with Immigration which Evan accompanied her to, she received her green card in the mail!
Evan was upfront about the challenging case, but put a plan in place and made her feel at ease with the process. Evan is honest, friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. He is straightforward and won’t bs you. My entire family is extremely grateful.
