DM- DUI 2nd Off Refusal

View Full Testimonial

It was a scary situation to be fresh out of college, getting limited job offers and to make a mistake that could possibly result in a 2nd DUI, but Justin was always straight forward with me, gave me the good and the bad and in the end achieved exactly what I had asked of him.

I have never seen or her of a more talented group of people and I believe if people really care about their life and future they’ll think real hard about hiring you guys.

Justin, I believe, is the best bar none. Not only just in the courtroom but also for just being a great guy. I’ve always been told not to trust an attorney but Justin I trust along with the whole firm.

Unfortunately, this wasn’t my first time facing DUI charges. I already had a prior conviction and this time I was involved in an accident on my way home from a friend’s party.

Justin McShane is really an excellent attorney. He worked hard for my cause and I can’t express how much I appreciate his hard work and dedication. He got my DUI charges dropped and worked hard to minimize my other charges as well. He always returned my phone calls, which in my experience, is very rare for attorney running a practice as busy as his.

from Attorney McShane’s Avvo profile

Justin is very responsive. He returned all of my calls, many times immediately. He really cared about my case and was able to protect me from jail. He is excellent. If you need a criminal defense attorney hire him.

I am a single mother and because of work could not spend enough time watching over my son. Unfortunately, he became involved with gangs and out himself in a very bad position. One of his friends was involved in a homicide and my son was being charged as well.

My sister recommended Justin McShane and we decided to have him represent us. He worked really hard and was very prepared. He cross-examined every witness and in the end my son was acquitted of all of the felony counts and left with a misdemeanor.

When I took my son to Mr. McShane’s office to thank him, he went out of his way to talk to my son about his involvement in gangs. He explained how serious these charges were and that if he continued in that way he could get into a lot of trouble. It looks like my son took that to heart because he has been staying at home more and we’ve been talking about getting him back into school.

Thanks Justin. You’re not only a good lawyer but a good man with a golden heart.

TW, Harrisburg (Criminal)

from Attorney McShane’s Avvo profile

Thank you for your very professional handling of my son’s case. I appreciate your efforts and your candor. I very much appreciated your explaining the case to me and the need for an expert witness. Your communication skils are excellent and it really helps clients understand the implications of their case. Your follow-up is also remarkable considering how busy you are. I truly appreciate all you have done for [my son]. He is a great young man who used poor judgment in getting into his vehicle after a few drinks. Hopefully that will never happen again.

Dear Justin,

I want to sincerely thank you for your incredible honesty, integrity, and professionalism in the case of my DUI back in February, 2009.

After my arrest on December 29, 2007 you have given my case the care and respect beyond what any other attorney wanted to give me. After the initial meeting with you I was impressed so much that I actually could not believe what I was hearing. You described how you would go about handling my case and described to me what no other attorney could describe because of their lack of knowledge and experience in this field. I had sat down with two other attorney’s in the DUI field and came out in a very depressed state. The first attorney told me to just plead guilty, the other attorney said for $500 he would take care of my case. He never said exactly how or what he would do for me.

When I sat down with you Mr. McShane you told me how this was my livelyhood, I realize even more today how important it was, I could never have worked with another trucking company or any other job of any meaning if I would have been convicted of DUI, for that matter I would had lost my job of $23 per hour driving truck. It was your persistence and determination to see to that I was found NOT GUILTY. I had been to the Dauphin County Courthouse over 7 times, due to the fact that the police department would not bring evidence and or police officers who were required to appear and either or the evidence or the police officers would not show up. If it weren’t for your persistence in filing motions in the court for this evidence and or police officers named this case would have went to trial and I would have been found GUILTY. Many times I was about to give up when you explained to me that could give up, but that you had felt had a solid case and if I did what you had asked of me that you felt with an 80 to 90% confidence, I would be found NOT GUILTY.

Your professionalism, knowledge of all the equipment involved in a DUI, your expert witnesses, and the handling of the entire case is something to be added to the law books. In fact I think it was mentioned that this case is a break through in many way’s and that it will go down in case law? I have even went under my name in [Google] and have found the case.

I have not thanked you enough and I cannot thank you enough or express my deepest thanks not only to you, but to your entire staff! The professionalism, knowledge, experience and caring of your staff is second to none!

With my warmest regards,
-Paul L. Kaylor

I think back some months ago when I was desperate and went to the Public Defenders office and received no help from them and they gave me five names of attorney that might be able to help with my case. I left that office not knowing what my future might hold. I tried calling the first three names with no luck. Either no one answered or I got an answering machine. Your office was the fourth name I called and someone did answer. I remember our initial telephone conversations. Lengthy ones that most attorneys would not have show such interest and reassuring in nature. Because of those first calls I knew I had found someone that was honest and could help me with the problem I faced. I don’t know why during business hours on a weekday those first three calls weren’t answered; all I do know is that I am sure glad they weren’t.

From Peers

Counsel [McShane] is known to the Court as a zealous advocate for his clients, meticulous in his creation of a record for appellate review, and dogged in his pursuit of any issue which could accrue to the benefit of his client. In his usual fashion, attorney McShane meticulously created a record of the encounter between the two, and citing the applicable law argued for dismissal of the juror. [Attorney McShane engaged in] the effective, tactical cross examination of the witness and the investigating officers.

A judge of the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas

Justin is an extraordinarily dedicated advocate who cares very much for the profession and his clients. There are many lawyers who have reputations that are undeserved; some were never any good to begin with and others were great once but have lost the passion for their work. Not Justin. He’s the genuine article.

Attorney Jon May (May & Cohen P.A.)

from Attorney McShane’s LinkedIn Profile

I recently consulted Justin on a scientific matter that had arisen in a white collar criminal case in federal court in Houston. All I can say is that I was more than impressed with the breadth of his knowledge and his evident dedication to the profession. He is exactly the kind of lawyer I would retain if I needed representation.

December 9, 2008 Dear Justin: I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I enjoyed seeing you last week at our DUI seminar in Atlanta, and to thank you for always being so unselfish with your time and knowledge of DUI defense when we get a chance to visit. It has been a real pleasure getting to know you over the past few years. Ever since meeting you at one of our National College of DUI Defense seminars, I have come to find that although we are privileged to be part of such a small, prestigious group of truly accomplished and nationally known DUI attorneys, you are one of the more innovative and respected among their peers inside this very select group. Thank you for sharing your defense strategies and your overall knowledge on how to beat these very difficult cases. As one very well known DUI attorney said, “If it were easy, everybody would be doing it.” But we know that the vast majority of attorneys simply are not capable of winning these cases. Well, now I know why you do win so many. I learned more from you last week in Atlanta from our discussions on our private list-serve on how to beat a DUI than I have while spending over $15,000.00 a year traveling to these high priced expert seminars. I always enjoy seeing you, and I rest easy knowing that if nothing else, as long as I get some time to visit with you, I will always leave our seminars a much smarter attorney than when I came. Great seeing you! Thanks again for your fine company and your expertise on how to beat these seemingly unbeatable cases! Sincerely, Christopher H. Cessna

Attorney Richard Kodzis, Millersville MD

Justin’s encyclopedia of scientific defenses is impressive. But even more impressive is his ability to explain those defenses to juries in plain English! He is a DUI warrior; and I would not hestitate to recommend him to a family member or friend in need.

Attorney Karen Missimer, Glendale WI

This Pennsylvania lawyer rocks – you should not miss an interview with Justin should you need a consultation about a DUI or criminal case. Mr. McShane and his crew continue to fight cases w/ knowledge and experience.

Attorney Joshua Dale, San Francisco CA

Justin is an excellent advocate for his clients. He has a keen knowledge of both the law and the science related to DUI/DWI cases. I would not hesitate to refer a client to him.

Attorney Deandra Grant, Plano TX

from Attorney McShane’s Avvo profile

Justin’s nickname is “The Library.” For someone of his age his encyclopedic command of the scientific literature was at first quite surprising. But he keeps producing, and after awhile I began to assume that Justin would have the answer. Thing about it: he always does.

Attorney Allen Trapp, Carrollton GA

from Attorney McShane’s Avvo profile

I have gotten to know Justin McShane through the National College for DUI Defense and have seen him rise to a highly respected position. He is one of the first people I turn to for advise and brainstorming on my most difficult cases.

Justin McShane and I are both long-time members of the National College for DUI Defense. Justin is well respected as one of our most scientifically knowledgeable members and enjoys a national reputation as one of the finest DUI lawyers in the country.

Attorney Edward Loss, Glendale AZ

from Attorney McShane’s Avvo profile

Justin brings a yearning to succeed to the table as a criminal defense attorney. He trains himself and his staff attorneys at the highest level to be ready to attack any flaw in the State’s case or any prevarication by a police officer who guesses that Justin will not have found the “smoking gun” in the case. This pride of preparation is not something that can be taught to a trial lawyer — it is self-generated. Justin has earned my endorsement through hard work and dogged determination to be the best attorney in Pennsylvania.

Attorney William Head, Atlanta GA

from Attorney McShane’s Avvo profile

Justin is fast becoming known nationally as a top DUI defender. He is gaining this reputation by sharing his knowledge and his access to scientific works with other lawyers, thereby demonstrating his commitment both to the profession as well as to his clients. Justin has an excellent understanding of the law and science involved in drunk driving defense, and he will do everything possible to win his client’s case. If Justin agrees to take your case then you can rest assured that he will leave nothing to chance, and will do everything to maximize your chances of winning. I highly recommend him.

Attorney Patrick Barone, Birmingham MI

from Attorney McShane’s Avvo profile

Justin McShane has had unparalleled success in defending DUI and criminal cases in central Pennsylvania. As a former Public Defender, he is not afraid of taking on prosecutors and tough or seemingly hopeless cases. Justin is one of the top people in the Country with respect to knowledge about hospital blood tests and demonstrates his knowledge through thorough cross examination of experts and hospital staff. He is tireless on behalf of his clients and has a tremendous track record. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone charged with a DUI in central Pennsylvania.

Attorney Andrew Alpert, Upper Marlboro MD

from Attorney McShane’s Avvo profile

Justin is one of the best DWI attorneys I know. Period. If I were unfortunate enough to find myself on the wrong side of the law, Justin McShane is the first and only attorney I would turn to. His breadth of knowledge and commitment to his clients is truly amazing. He is a tireless and zealous advocate who has developed a reputation for fearlessness in the courtroom. When any attorney has a question regarding DWI work, Justin always has the answer. He is without peer in Pennsylvania and I count myself fortunate to count him as not only a colleague, but a very good friend as well.

Attorney William Bly, Biddeford ME

from Attorney McShane’s Avvo profile

Attorney Justin McShane is a powerful advocate for his clients. He is always prepared and very successful in the courtroom. His scientific knowledge and preparation is amazing. He knows and understands science and can apply it in a “common sense” approach way that jurors and judges can understand. Without a doubt, Justin McShane is a TRIAL ATTORNEY. He fights hard for all his clients and works tirelessly. If you need a Criminal Defense/ DWI attorney in Justin’s area, there is nobody else that I would hire.

Attorney Stephen Hamilton, Lubbock TX

from Attorney McShane’s Avvo profile

I endorse this lawyer’s work. I have known Justin now for a while, and while I agree he might want to do something about his picture I can say with great enthusiasm he is one of the most motivated and detailed lawyers I know. He is constantly pushing himself and his team forward in the unending quest for legal knowledge; not only does he attend continuing education seminars regularly but he provides the same training for his people. Additionally, he puts on his own seminars for the benefit of other lawyers. He is very well versed and aggressive. Excellent choice.

Attorney Bruce Robinson, Baltimore MD

from Attorney McShane’s Avvo profile

This fine attorney is known and respected throughout this nation. While I do not live in Pennsylvania (I live in Tennessee), I communicate with Attorney McShane on a regular basis. At a recent conference in San Diego California, Attorney McShane was selected to deliver a presentation on how he successfully fought and won a recent case when the government’s chemical test showed Attorney McShane’s client was more that four (4) times the legal limit for blood alcohol. Other presenters included the foremost experts in the world (Sweden, Canada, United States) on DUI/DWI topics. Attorney McShane understands complex topics and can speak about them at length with no preparation. His library of books and artices on issues involved in DUI/DWI is sought after by attorneys throughout the country. I could not give Attorney McShane a higher endorsement. He is truely a hard working and intellectually dominant attorney.

Attorney Douglas Aaron, Manchester TN

from Attorney McShane’s Avvo profile

I met Justin through the National College for DUI Defense and attended the most advanced DUI blood testing seminar in the country with him. He is one of the most intelligent and innovative DUI attorneys I have ever met. I would send a family member to him for representation without hesitation. And, as a former DUI police officer, DUI defense investigator, DUI prosecutor, and DUI defense attorney, I know a LOT of DUI attorneys. He’s the best!

Attorney Gary Pirosko, Denver CO

Justin McShane is quickly gaining a national reputation as an outstanding criminal defense attorney. Regardless of the charge, Justin is a true champion for his clients, even achieving results many other more seaseoned attorneys would find almost impossible. I cannot recomend Justin highly enough.

Unfortunately I am the owner of some bad decisions in my life. Choosing the McShane Firm isn’t one of them. This was my second DUI case and I was afraid that I was going to lose my license. This time I only had some light drinks but was unlucky and got pulled over. Obviously, I was very scared and confused. How would my prior violation affect this case? Am I going to jail? Will I lose my license? These were just some of the questions swirling around in my head. I settled down and called a bunch of lawyers. The first one that called me back was Attorney Tim Barrouk. The first thing I liked about him was his compassion. He really cares about his clients and fighting for their rights. Tim was willing to do the dirty work that other attorneys in my previous cases were not. Where they settled and took the easy road, Tim went to bat for me. Watching Tim in trial is remarkable. When he sets foot in the courtroom, he is the expert. From the onset of his cross-examination, the state trooper, (who had over twelve years of experience) never had a chance. The result- Not Guilty. I highly recommend Attorney Tim Barrouk to anyone facing a DUI violation. His knowledge and hard work is unmatched- and that’s why he is the best.

I was treated with respect. Not only by Attorney Barrouk, but by all staff I interacted with. I was kept informed and all options [were] thoroughly discussed with me. [Attorney Barrouk] fought to get the best resolution of my case. I did not feel he was “just going through the motions.”

Tim and I met at a national blood and urine seminar. He is a very knowledgeable attorney who added much to a highly technical discussion on blood analysis. I would recomend him to anyone accused of DUI.

Attorney Craig Rosenstein, Scottsdale AZ

I met Tim at a Blood and Urine Forensic Toxicology course in California. Tim was very attentive to the course materials provided and showed through his preparation his commitment to gaining all of the available knowledge he can to gain positive results for his clients. Tim works for a very reputable DUI/DWI law firm that has a reputation for tirelessly fighting for the rights of their clients. I highly recommend TIm Barrouck as a DUI/DWI Attorney.

Attorney Cory Yager, Atlanta GA

from Attorney Barrouk’s Avvo profile

Tim and I met recently at a California seminar I was coordinating. He demonstrated his commitment to handling criminal defense cases by virtue of his remarkable attentiveness to the difficult curriculum of this course, taught primarily by toxicologists, doctors, chemists and pharmacologists. No path for trial attorneys is easy, and prior preparation is of critical importance. Tim has made that commitment, and has shown that he will be prepared when he accepts a case for a citizen charged with a crime. By mastering this course, he has shown that he is ready for the challenges of any client’s case.

Attorney William Head, Atlanta GA

from Attorney Barrouk’s Avvo profile

I’ve known Tim for quite some time and I’ve had the privilege of attending a few conferences with him during the past year.

I endorse this lawyer’s work. I have known Tim for couple of years now, I see him at DUI seminars in different areas on the east coast.

He is an excellent advocate on behalf of his clients.

Attorney Bruce Robinson, Baltimore MD

from Attorney Barrouk’s Avvo profile

I met Timothy a while back at an advanced DUI blood seminar in California. This is one of the most intense DUI courses in the country. The best forensics instructors from around the world instruct this multi-day course. Only the best DUI attorneys can pass the final test. Timothy was one of those few.

Attorney Gary Pirosko, Denver CO

This was not my first marriage that ended up in a bitter divorce. However, I can say that Shawn handled this case much better than my previous case.

Attorney Cory Yager, Atlanta GA

from Attorney Dorward’s Avvo profile

Shawn has been practicing law for a short time but he has been studying the fine points of criminal litigation for a long period of time. Shawn clerked for Justin McShane while studying for the bar. During that time, Shawn was involved in numerous cases and helped Attorney McShane prepare for trial. While learning from the best, Shawn has been busy developing his own style and finding his own voice. He is a charismatic lawyer and a skilled trial attorney. His experience is vast in comparison to his time in practice and in fact, he already has more trial experience than many attorneys with 10+ years of experience. If you are considering retaining Shawn you should have absolute confidence in his abilities and commitment to your case.
