Shane was an excellent lawyer. He always explained everything to me step by step making me feel comfortable with the decision we were making. He helped me out tremendously and made me feel like he always had my best interest in mind.

Within minutes of contacting Shane's office when my injury occurred on an early Saturday morning, Shane responded within minutes, and even took the time out of his day to come and personally see me. Since this was my first time ever going through a personal injury case, I was a pretty naive and new to to everything, but Shane explained the entire process to me step by step, and made the entire case extremely easy for me to go through and understand. Anytime I needed to call, message, email, etc, Shane immediately answered, and never once made me feel as if I was a bother, or that he was putting other client's cases ahead of mine. From start to finish, everything went smooth, and much quicker than I expected. Shane was the first lawyer I contacted, and I am positive that I couldn't have made a better choice. Was honest with everything and had no problems giving me the answers to any questions I had asked. The end result turned out to be much better than I expected and I was ecstatic with the result, when everything was finished. I would 110% recommend Attorney Shane Scanlon to anyone who is dealing with a personal injury, and in need of a lawyer. If I ever find myself in an unfortunate position like I was previously in, Shane would be the first person I would contact.

I cannot praise Attorney Shane Scanlon enough for his excellent representation of me. During my case, which involved several court appearances, Attorney Scanlon would sit with me and discuss every detail of the case and always made sure I understood what was going to happen. His knowledge, understanding and confidence comforted me at a very difficult time in my life. He is not only a very excellent Attorney , but he is also a kind and caring man.
