Law Office of Charlie Shane, PLLC - Bainbridge Island (WA)

5 /5 Kari Hare: My legal experience with the team of Charlie Shane was nothing short of outstanding! Going through a divorce, working full-time with 2-young kids, I was overwhelmed & unsure of my legal rights. Charlie Shane went above and beyond to answer any question, compassionate throughout the process, extremely knowledgeable and went that “extra mile” for me and my kids. The outcome of my divorce case exceeded my expectations and I am profoundly grateful. I’d highly recommend Charlie Shane for any legal services!

5 /5 Adam Schramek: 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!!

5 /5 Zachary Stevens: Navigating custody as an out-of-state parent is incredibly difficult. At every turn it felt like the system was stacked against me. Delaying decisions, kicking the case from one state to another, and allowing a pattern of parental alienation to continue unchecked. In my case, it was nearly impossible. Charlie and his team went above and beyond in every sense. They carefully reviewed years of tangled legal history spanning multiple states, Oklahoma, Washington, and Texas. They stepped in with clarity and strategy. They worked diligently to bring jurisdiction back to where it belonged, Washington. They navigated the complexities of the UCCJEA, tracked down critical case details, responded to certain stall tactics and pushed the courts to finally review the facts of my case. I came to Charlie Shane’s office completely worn down and legally exhausted and uncertain if I’d ever be given a fair chance to be the father I always wanted to be. What makes Charlie and his team stand out is not just their legal knowledge, it’s their commitment to fighting for what’s right. From the start they understood the unique challenges I was facing as a long distance dad who never gave up. They listened, cared, and stuck with me. Despite the jurisdictional chaos and emotional toll, Charlie Shane and his team worked relentlessly to bring clarity to the case and pushed through the legal red tape that had kept me from even getting a proper hearing for years. They finally got the courts in Washington to take jurisdiction and successfully helped me establish the fairest parenting plan I’ve had to date. One that reflects both my dedication as a father and the best interest of my daughter. This outcome has changed my life. I finally have meaningful and structured time with my daughter. Something I’ve fought years for and I now have a legal foundation that protects our relationship going forward. Being a father has always been my greatest dream. Now I have the opportunity to live it. Charlie Shane’s office brought strength, compassion, and persistence to a situation most attorneys wouldn’t touch. I will always be grateful for their support and for the future they’ve helped secure for me and my daughter.

5 /5 Benjamin Cox: 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.

5 /5 Margaux Gussoni: We found Charlie on Google after having to part ways with a previous lawyer who no longer gave our case the attention it deserved. From the moment we began working with Charlie, it was clear he was a godsend. He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate. Throughout our custody battle, we always felt like he had our best interests at heart. He took the time to truly understand our situation and guided us with clarity and confidence every step of the way. We couldnt have asked for better representation. Highly recommend!
