The worst law firm in Pennsylvania. Lack of communication! Look for another firm they just want your money.
Dear Reader and Potential new client, <br>It's important for all of the facts and circumstances be considered when looking at this review and determining whether to credit it or disregard it. Here are some important facts.<br><br>1. We do not have an active or client in the last 3 years with the name of Lee M. And we suspect this to be a competitor or a prosecutor, police officer or complaining witness who takes exception with the fact that we are the very best at what we do. And that tracks with the fact that we have no client currently or in the recent past with that name. Further, and perhaps the biggest clue is that the person has 0 reviews and 0 photos and when you click on the link with the name there is no information. Unfortunately, Google is very lax in its verification procedures and it is shockingly easy for people to set up accounts to make fake negative reviews. 3 clicks. Sad but true and you get to be anonymous. Further evidence that is not a client of this firm is that there are zero names, zero concrete claims or allegations and nothing at all that can be verified. Not even this person's attorney's name, when they tried to call, email or text with any particularity. So please consider that extremely. Finally, look at all of our hundreds of positive reviews. The old adage applies. You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. We have the highest number of reviews and the highest rating of any criminal defense only law firm in the area. And that is earned. This, we suggest, is a disgruntled competitor or a prosecutor, police officer or complaining witness who takes exception with the fact that we are the very best at what we do. We fight and some folks just don't like that.<br><br>2. We go the extra 100 miles, not merely the extra mile, in communication with clients. We invest in technology including call tracking whereby we can use meta data to track who is calling us and to verify they get a call back. Our owner runs a report every day to make sure all calls are returned. We do the same with emails. We have expanded into text capabilities as well. We will talk your ears about your case.<br><br>3. Fees. Yes, we are a business. We do charge a fair fee for the game changer nature of our representation. We limit our attorneys' case load to make sure they can always provide individual attention. We are very very unusual in the area. We offer reasonable time payments with no credit check and 0% APR. We do this based upon a person's word to us alone. We get burned a lot. Shockingly so. Sadly. But we do this job to help people. We come to defend folks when the entire government and often their own family and friends turn their backs to them. We defend people. We offer and hand up and a good fight for them. We help people. Yes, there is a fee, but it is always disclosed. You know exactly what you are getting into when you get into it because it's a flat fee. Not by the hour. No nickel and diming. No surprises. We work with any budget. We simply expect that people pay what they agreed to. No surprises.<br><br>We are sorry you have to read this negative review, but on balance we are happy that it provides a way to show you that we fight hard and ethically (which is why we suspect this review came from) and that we have invested a lot of money in technology to ensure there is real communication and that we work with people to make the worst moments of their lives manageable by not letting money be the barrier to getting the best.<br><br>We communicate. Heck we even replied to this fake review in detail, right?<br><br>In all regards, we wish this reviewer peace in their lives and to our actual clients we pledge and actually deliver fierce representation and perfect communication at a reasonable and affordable fee.
This firm is very consistent at communicating effectively. I live out of state and was able to attend a video call for the set court date. They did exactly what i asked for and were able to get my charges dismissed!
Thank you so much for the ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review! We’re thrilled to hear that our communication and flexibility made the process smooth, even while you were out of state. Being able to connect by video and achieve a full dismissal is exactly the outcome we strive for. We truly appreciate your trust and are so glad we could deliver what you asked for!
Thank you for your 5 star review! We are thrilled that we earned your recommendation.
I was just facing serious charges for a dui with my child in the car .. I was wrongfully charged because of a prescription medication I have been on for years , after the stressful search for representation of this case I finally talked to Katy mcshane on the phone and I made that choice that day , she was kind compassionate and most importantly she believed in me . Shortly after I hired the mcshane firm Kate's paralegal Andrea Robinson contacted me and has been supportive kind and uplifting the ENTIRE step of the way ! I had my preliminary hearing today and Katy was aggressive with a touch of compassion and knowledge with that perfect combination and the way she fought for me until the very end of the hearing lead to the results of CASE DISMISSED at the preliminary!! I am so unbelievably greatful for these amazing women and this amazing law firm i will never forget these ladies or this lawfirm for saving me believing I me and having my back . I recommend this firm 1 million percent you wont be disappointed, for a second time offender to getting case dismissed at the preliminary , thats unheard of . They are the true definition of super attorneys , if you have an upcoming DUI case I suggest you RUN to the mcshane firm asap . thank you again mcshane firm ! You changed my life yesterday !

I am currently still involved with a case in which The McShane Firm is handling and I am overwhelmed with their professionalism and the care they have shown me. Andrea and attorney Katherine McShane are prompt with returning calls, have always answered any questions with expert knowledge and placed an ease to my tension. Honestly can say I will refer to others with utmost respect and gratitude.

Tim Barrouk is a great lawyer! He brought my life back to me, not to mention my wife's too. He got me through my charges in Lebanon Co., which is hard to do. I was already on probation and violated with another charge. The other charge was a DUI in another county and he got me off of that one too. Tim has been my lawyer for over 10 years and has gotten us through it all! Cathi Leigh was great too. She was very supportive and informative about everything the entire time. Even through Covid, they never missed a beat! You won't go wrong with these guys. They are worth every dime! Thanks again guys! Aaron and Diana
Helping families like yours is what we take pride in doing. Tim and Cathi Leigh both read this review and appreciate you taking the time to share it. Thank you!
Very pleased with the service and the people are great
Thank you, Seth! We’re so glad to hear you were pleased with our service and team—it means a lot to us!
Let me please start by saying I NEVER do these reviews because I am not sure of the validity of them. I can assure you- this one is for real! The McShane Firm LLC-Noting short of AMAZING!!!!!!! I was in a NO WIN situation and Katy and her team- NAILED IT!!!!!!!! I am now sleeping at night, I can think of things other than the case that was daunting and "The team" is still in contact with me and we are done!!!! My name has been cleared of wrong doing and all has been dismissed! I Can not say enough about the amazing results that I achieved SOULEY because of this teams efforts!!!!!!!!
Laura, thank you SO much for this incredible review! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We’re truly honored that you took the time to share your experience. Hearing that Katy and the team were able to bring you peace, clarity, and a full dismissal means everything to us.<br><br>We’re thrilled you can finally rest easy and move forward with confidence. Thank you for trusting us during such a difficult situation—we’re grateful to have been in your corner!
Katy McShane was just what the Dr order when it came to my PFA case. Usually my nerves would be bad for anything court related, and I went into it feeling confident at ease. She is worth every penny spent!!!
Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that Katy McShane gave you the confidence and peace of mind you needed during such a stressful time. She truly is worth it! ⚖️
Used this group a few years ago. No clients can say anything bad as they have outlawed bad reviews with their clients. This is why they have good reviews. After doing the bare minimum and taking my money. I was left with great regret for considering this firm. Then they charged me $3000 without talking to me. It went straight to collections and ruined my credit. Why??? Because I told the truth in a proper review. They didn't like this, so they billed me $3000.00 unless I pulled my review. This is the sad truth of this firm. Update. I paid in full upfront and owed nothing. This firm is not honest. This is clearly displayed in their generic and arrogant response to my review. Dont make my mistake. I was charged $3000 and threatened to remove my original review. Sad but true!
Dear reader of this review, <br>You should consider this review versus the hundreds of other reviews about our firm and services. And if what he wrote was even remotely true, then his one-star review would be earned. But it is not. <br><br>Here is the simple truth. He signed a contract for services to be rendered. He signed as all of our clients do in 23 places. He was given a copy of it for his records. The contract is very clear what is owed and when. Rather than making him pay in full like every other law firm makes folks do these days, we allowed him with no credit check or collateral to make time payments with a 0% interest rate. <br><br>We did the work. How did we get rewarded? He stopped paying. <br><br>He no calls, no pays. We called. We emailed. We texted. As with everyone, when times get tough we work it out with people every single time. We bend over for people who actually contact us and work with us. But if you refuse to call, refuse to contact us and just try to walk away, then we have to do something. What are we supposed to do? We have employees to pay and bills ourselves. When you don't talk to us and try to get over on us, we are left with no other option. You go to collections. <br><br>We now as you read we tell the truth and stand up against a want to internet bully who tries to get over on a small family business by leaving a totally fabricated review. So, yes, we are going to stand up against it and do so unapologetically and strongly. We now stand up against someone who was trying to get over on us when we clearly did the work. If we don't stand up for ourselves and enforce contracts and someone's word, then how can you possibly think that we could stand up against the government when they try to get over on a person accused of a crime or stand up when the government looks to break a deal that they made or when the government otherwise goes against their word? You can't.<br><br>That's the truth.<br><br><<<UPDATE to his update: How can someone go into collections if they paid in full? You can't put someone into collections who doesn't owe money. So his own admission to his own narrative disproves his claims. We stand by our statement of the facts.>>>
I called the McShane firm for a charge that was put out on me during my past life 4 years ago. I avoided it for that long out of fear when I finally decided to answer for it I called McShane firm and they connected me with Corey Fahnestock and paralegal TyNiesha. They were absolutely excellent and helped me out every step of the way. Something that was mandatory punishment turned into something not so bad at all. I appreciate them so much they fought and rooted and supported me the entire way. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. TyNiesha was amazing all the e-mails and phone calls I’d make to her sometimes out of anxiety of the unknown she understood and was very patient. Corey helped me out so much and rooted for my family and I. I recommend this firm to anyone and everyone who needs counsel. Being in the system for as long as I have ive always had the worst experience. This one i can say was not that way at all. Im forever grateful for this firm and Corey. Thank you guys you’ve helped my family and I so much. Anyone debating on hiring an attorney call the McShane firm and look no further. They take care of their clients Thank you, Kavi Joseph Sangram

Kristin was very open when discussing my case. She went into what I could expect, both good and bad. She kept me informed, advised me what I could do to help better the outcome of my case. I completed a 4 hour anger management class, from which I learned a lot about myself, and had 2 character letters written. I would highly recommend Kristin to anyone looking for an attorney for those types of cases. Rachel, Kristin's paralegal was also very professional when dealing with her.

I don’t think I can put into words everything that Attorney Amanda Jones did for me. You can’t put a price on what she brings to the table. Facing 6 years upstate i put my trust in her & she assured me that she was going to do everything she could to fight for me & win my case. We went to trial & we won! Throughout the trial she was calm, aggressive & fought like she said she would. She never showed any signs of nervousness! She’s honest, she shows she really cares about her clients & she’s going to fight for the best outcome in your case! Amanda & Jen are the dream team! Best lawyer & paralegal around & worth every dollar!!!
Wow — thank you so much for sharing this incredible feedback! 🙌 We’re beyond proud of the Dream Team — Attorney Amanda Jones and Paralegal Jen 💥⚖️.
