Law Office of Charlie Shane, PLLC

I cannot recommend Charlie enough. From the very start, he was not only incredibly knowledgeable and strategic, but also compassionate and genuinely invested in my case. He took the time to explain each step clearly, answered all of my questions with patience and thoroughness, and made sure I felt fully supported throughout the entire process. Charlie’s professionalism and attention to detail gave me confidence, and his compassionate approach made a difficult situation much easier to navigate. He is thorough, responsive, and genuinely cares about his clients’ well-being—not just the case outcome. If you are looking for a lawyer who combines expertise with empathy, Charlie is the one you want by your side.

Less than a year after my collaborative divorce, I needed to hire a family law litigator because my ex-husband stopped paying the support he owed me. I am so lucky to have found Charlie! He is a very knowledgeable attorney who is very easy to talk, has a good sense of humor and feels like talking to a friend. My situation is complicated so there are always multiple approaches we can take. Charlie always gives me all the scenarios, possible benefits and potential risks then leaves it up to me to decide. He is great about responding to emails and texts. Charlie has my back and is also a really great person. His fees are very reasonable. I highly recommend him.

Long story short Charlie helped me get full custody of my child in my first separation, and nearly 50/50 in a later divorce. I utilized Charlie and his team on two separate occasions, a parenting plan adjustment and later a complex blended family marriage dissolution. Charlie was a very knowledgeable and professional. In both instances we were able to get very favorable outcomes that were positive for all parties involved. Charlie’s team was prompt in communication, and he was willing to put in the extra effort required to ensure the matters were resolved with minimal disruption to our children’s lives. I would definitely recommend him for anyone going through a divorce or revisiting a parenting plan.

I met Charlie and his wonderful staff by chance. I called around seeking an attorney after being served with divorce papers. Not only did Charlie knock it out of the park, he was consistently a coach and advocate in my corner. Charlie is very compassionate, understanding, and reasonable, but takes charge and fought for my best interests when needed in and out of the court room. His support staff was top notch and always willing to help me through any processes needed. I can’t say enough great things about Charlie and his staff!! I recommend him every chance I get!!

I cannot say enough about how grateful I am for Mark Derricott. Finding an attorney who is not only incredibly smart and knowledgeable but also genuinely human is rare — and Mark is all of that and more. He walked with me through one of the most emotional and challenging times of my life involving the Relocation Act, and he did it with such care, honesty, and compassion that I always felt seen, heard, and supported. Mark isn’t just a lawyer — he’s someone who truly cares. He was always straightforward and fair, never sugarcoating the truth but delivering it with kindness and understanding. He treated me like a person, not a case file, and I always knew he had my best interests at heart. It’s hard to put into words what it means to have someone like Mark by your side during something so deeply personal and life-changing. He is personable, real, and wholesome — the kind of person you instantly trust. I will always be thankful for his dedication, guidance, and heart throughout this journey. If you are looking for a lawyer who truly embodies integrity and compassion, Mark Derricott is the one.
