R. Shane McFarland, P.C. - Austin, Texas

Kelsey Ogg

Shane is a highly-experienced, honest, and straightforward family attorney. I've worked with him over the past decade - first with a child custody case and second with a divorce. In both cases, he was transparent in what I could expect to happen. He has enough knowledge about family law to know what is worth fighting for, while also keeping expectations realistic. Also, he is (respectfully) an absolute menace in court. Shane is direct in his approach, which I appreciated greatly. However, more importantly, he and his team are also warm and accommodating - working with me as a single parent on a teacher's salary to ensure I could afford their representation. I always felt up-to-speed about what was happening in my cases and empowered to make decisions regarding my children. His paralegals are also incredibly helpful and quick to respond to inquiries and requests.

It can be overwhelming to be faced with a divorce or a custody battle; securing a solid attorney that wouldn't drain my bank account dry with nothing to show for it was a huge fear of mine. I am SO lucky to have found Shane and his firm. His intellect, level-headedness, preparedness, and kindness is unmatched in the Austin area. Please don't hesitate to hire him!

When you need a Family Law attorney, you're either planning for something difficult or dealing with something difficult. In those times, you want attorneys who are honest, shrewd, measured, dynamic, strategic, trustworthy, experienced, insightful, creative, aggressive, and agreeable. You want other Family Law attorneys to know and trust YOUR attorneys. You want Family Law judges to know and trust YOUR attorneys (if, unfortunately, that's where things are going). You want a team that's focused on achieving your goals, but that won't hesitate to tell you if your goals are unwise or unachievable. You want an advocate and counselor.

Do you see where this is going? You want MacFarland Law.

I never wanted to need Shane, Stephanie and the rest of the McFarland Law team. I still don't WANT to need them. Yet, I'm so grateful they're on my side. Most of the law is personal. Family Law is perhaps the most personal of all law. It's emotional. Very. I remember the intense ebbs and flows of hope, anger, and despiration. I remember MORE McFarland Law's steady focus on achieving the goals we'd defined DESPITE my emotional state. Shane and Stephanie always delivered.

You don't want to need them. But you need them on your side.

Shane is the epitome of professionalism and made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. He is on top of everything and great about communicating as results developed.

Matt Ford

Absolutely incredible experience working with Shane. He is brilliant, responsive and helpful. He advocated for me in very powerful ways, always aiming to pursue the goal without creating any collateral damage. Shane's approach in handling my case was absolutely fantastic!

I had such a great experience working with Shane. He went above and beyond my expectations. I desperately needed to change custody papers to protect my child from their biological father. Y’all - I thought it would be a fight to get supervised visitation. He was able to terminate my child’s biological fathers rights and my husband was able to legally adopt her as his own in a step-parent adoption. This experience has changed my life. I can finally breathe knowing my baby is safe. Thank you Shane.

I have nothing but highly positive things to say about Shane and the others at this firm. Shane himself is a great guy; I found him to be very calm, trustworthy, levelheaded, and highly knowledgeable about texas family law. The entire staff was supportive and communicative throughout my entire ordeal, and ended up getting me a wonderfully positive resolution to my case.
