Customer's reviews

I had the pleasure of working with Shane Boasberg for 19 months on a Family Law case centered on my divorce agreement to sell my jointly-owned house. We won!! Shane's experience, professionalism, and work quality were 100% on display when we arrived at court against the opposing counsel. He had a huge Trial Binder for the Judge to use and follow along during the trial, and over (10) exhibits to log in - more than doubling the opposing counsel's exhibits, and providing the ONLY binder to the Judge! Shane and I worked together to get evidence collected and sorted. We conversed long-distance, as the house is near Austin, and I live outside of Austin. Emails, phone calls, and text messages were more than enough! Shane comes prepared to win, and is armed with knowledge, wisdom, compassion, and a fire in his belly! His help is worth every penny, and his rate is extremely reasonable. ~ Stephanie G
I have been a client of Shane M. Boasberg for several years, and I can honestly say he is the kind of lawyer everyone hopes to find. From the very beginning, he earned my trust with his professionalism, honesty, and genuine care. Shane doesn’t just handle legal matters—he takes the time to check on the welfare of his clients and makes you feel like more than just a case file. What stands out most about Shane is how he makes you feel heard and important. He is attentive, thorough, and always willing to explain things in a way that puts you at ease. I’ve always felt confident knowing he had my best interests at heart. Having worked with him for years, I can say without hesitation that he is reliable, trustworthy, and deeply dedicated to his clients. If you’re looking for a lawyer in Austin who will truly go above and beyond, I highly recommend the Law Offices of Shane M. Boasberg, P.C. ~ Jackie D
My business colleague hired Shane to represent us in bringing legal action against someone who did a hit and run on him, injuring him and destroying my property in the process. This case got quite a bit of attention in the local media, as it involved Pedicabs and downtown safety. Shane successfully represented us and won a settlement for us - very tenacious attorney, and he guided us through the entire process. That was several years ago. Recently, I called on Shane for a recommendation for assistance in an area that I know is not his specialty, but he returned my call on a Sunday morning and spoke at length with me about my issue. He was able to point me in the right direction. I am glad to have Shane as a resource. ~ John F
