What should I wear to my preliminary hearing?
The best advice we can give you is the simplest. Folks will treat you the way you dress. Maybe folks think that isn’t fair, but we operate in the real world. The quickest way to lose your case is to show up to court looking like a bum. No one will think that you are anything other than a bum. So wear your Sunday best. That’s what we do. It matters. If you want to be taken seriously, then you must act seriously. Should people be treated based upon their looks or clothes? Maybe not. But again, we operate in the real world. In the real world, how you present yourself and your first impression matters 100% of the time.
Why can’t I just plead guilty and pay a fine for a drug charge?
These charges are either felonies or misdemeanors depending upon the type of drug and the amount or what you were alleged to be doing with the drug. This is not a “slap on the wrist.” If it is a felony charge, the consequences if you are found guilty can last a lifetime. If it is a misdemeanor, it can and will hurt you in many ways too because it is on your criminal record. So, if you take your life and what happens with it seriously, then you need to take the charges seriously.

Justin McShane is top flight. I don’t put statements like that in writing for just anyone. Anyone in need of a lawyer, especially concerning a criminal case, would be hard pressed to find better. Thanks, Greg

The Best
When I got this email from Justin asking me to write a review on him on this site, I dropped everything I was doing to do it.
Unfortunately, my daughter has a drug problem. We have been struggling with it for years in the family. She was caught by the police and sold to an undercover. Justin made it get through ARD so she would have no felony on her record and is now a college student and has a bright future. We cannot believe how great he is.

Mr. Barrouk and the rest of your firm were able to get a Nol Pros order for all of the charges. Happy doesn’t begin to describe it. Everyone was very kind and [I] feel like I played a part not just as a defendant. Thank You.

Justin McShane, Esq and all of his associates are the most technically knowledgeable and skilled attorney in Pennsylvania, or, in the country for that matter. Hard working in all of their cases, their success rate is astonishing. As an attorney myself, I know when I see knowledge, hard work, and integrity in other lawyers. Look no further if you are seeking legal counsel. The McShane firm is it.
