I found the Law Office of attorney Shane Jennings through Yelp reviews and recommended it to my brother who needed a representative in New Mexico's Alamogordo Magistrate. My brother was a truck driver, lived in NY and couldn't personally appear for the non jury trial. Attorney's office submitted waivers of appearance and arraignment on my brother's behalf and he didn't need to appear in person. In the end the case was dismissed. This was our first experience with legal system in US and I am glad that attorney Jennings was there to help us, and made the whole experience as smooth and stress-free as possible.

These attorneys are awesome. I had a very complicated criminal case that could’ve gotten me some serious time if it wasn’t for this attorneys office getting everything dismissed. Unlike other offices, their is always someone in the office to answer the phone to give you an update on your case. Which made me feel very secure when I sent them my money considering I live several states away. They are very nice, but even more importantly, knowledgeable and aggressive with the courts. Finally a weight lifted off my shoulders. I can’t thank them enough. These are the guys you want and need by your side when it comes to the justice system, without a doubt!

Shane and his great staff are so helpful and friendly. I was referred to his firm from another very satisfied client of his. I needed help to complete the process of obtaining a visa to bring my wife here from the Philippines. Unlike many other law firms, they made my wife and I feel like family and explained things to us every step of the way. With their great knowledge of the information and forms to be sent and processed we were very pleased to have each step approved and processed so much quicker than others we had learned of from the internet. My wife was approved, received her visa, and is here with me in America! We are both so grateful to Shane and his staff for handling our visa process with such care for every detail. We would highly recommend his firm to anyone needing expert representation from a firm that cares about you as if you were family.Thank you To Shane and Mine Jennings and your Great staff !!!

Attorney Shane is simply the best and I highly recommend him for all your legal needs. Humble, knowledgeable, personable and hardworking. He went above and beyond to help our loved one avoid being extradited back to another state that has a warrant for him. He convinced the judges of both states to let our loved one be let out on a bail and also went on our behalf to bail our loved one out for us because we live out of state. His price is affordable for a very high quality of work. The office staff is friendly, courteous, responsive and professional. He truly cares for his client- still checking in on our loved one after his release and will also help our loved one find a lawyer in the state that has a warrant for him to address the underlying issue. A true blessing especially in times of desperation! Am very grateful and blessed to have found attorney Shane!

I am a Commercial Truck Driver, I was Southbound on the I-25 late one night and at the end of my shift. I was tired and I was driving slow, Just trying to make my way to Las Cruces to shut down for the night. Unfortunately, They have a speed trap set up on the I-25 about 12 miles north of Las Cruces and to make matters worse the officer only seem targets Truckers. I know this because my dashcam shows a driver coming out of the 55 zone who was probably doing 80 or 90 mph. at the exact moment that I passed through the speed trap ( The guy sped away freely) the officer got me for going 65 in a 55.Shane got my ticket dismissed and I didn't even have to go to court. Hope, his secretary called me and told me my ticket was dismissed.

I was in a hopeless situation My case was difficult and not only did this law office take my case, they also did it at an affordable price. They really worked hard and a few days before going to trial, my case was dismissed! I am very grateful for the attorney and his kind staff.

I gained so much knowledge through this process. There was always someone to answer the phones and provide information. My situation was difficult yet they took my case and was able to assist me during this stressful time. I highly recommend this office.

I had a terrific experience with the law office of Shane Jennings! I was really in a bind and needed someone who would fight for me. I did not feel neglected by any means. I was very comfortable upon my first visit to the office. They got my warrant lifted and got permission from the judge for me to not have to appear at any pre-trial appearances. When I went to court the advice that they gave to me and the actions they told me to take lead me to get my case dismissed. I could not be happier with the results from choosing them for representation. If you want someone who is really a fighter and will really fight for you I strongly suggest hiring them to represent you.

The Law Office of W. Shane Jennings was great in resolving my case. I had 2 cases and both were dismissed!! From the first day I can tell Mr. Jennings was caring, compassionate and understanding of my situation. I was assigned to Dan (lawyer at the office) who worked on my case and was very aggressive, competent and showed great professionalism. Dan was very honest and was there form me on the phone or in person to answer any of my questions that I had throughout the process. I really appreciated the access to my lawyer because court cases can be stressful and this help reduced my stress/anxiety. The office staff was also great with the front staff reminding of pretrial dates etc over the phone and email. One other awesome thing Mr. Jennings did is work with me on the cost. Hiring lawyers can be costly but Mr. Jennings gave me a great a payment plan over several months which helped reduce the stress of having to pay of the case. One thing I wanted to state and emphasize is no matter the cost hire a private defense lawyer over having a public defender! The effort that Dan and Mr. Jennings put was phenomenal. Their hard work is really is worth every penny!

I went to Shane Jennings Firm for a Personal Injury claim. Tracy handled my case and she is very personable, friendly and caring. I am very pleased with their service and communication. Shane Jennings made a decision to settle the case and received nothing in compensation. His decision was made to best benefit me due to other circumstances i was faces. He put my needs, concerns and best interest ahead of making a profit. I will always be grateful to his firm for this.

I am the safety director of a mid-size trucking company that makes runs through Las Cruces often. Of course our drivers do get citations whether they be for moving violations or equipment. Attorney Jennings treats our driver with respect and courtesy. He understands that their livelihood is on the line and does an outstanding job keeping our drivers records clean.
