Hundreds Have Trusted Us. You Will Too.

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.

T.Z.

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

S.L.

Attorney Justin McShane and his team fought the fight for me and never gave up…. It was quite the battle, but his impeccable representation and performance rendered justice. I was cleared of all charges and am so thrilled to be moving on with my life!

M.A.

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 got my DUI charges dropped and worked hard to minimize my other charges as well.
