Quick, Fast & Done.

I was so nervous when we got pulled over and my husband was charged with a small amount of medical Marijuana and paraphernalia. When we went to the preliminary hearing, Alan went back and talked to the state trooper involved (who I must say was very professional in his approach with us from the begin...ning). By the time he got done talking to the state trooper and the judge, both counts were reduced to a disorderly conduct and we just had a fine to pay. Alan also spent some time with us explaining the law so that we were better informed about the laws behind Medical Marijuana, use, DUI, travelling with and possession of, and testing for. Alan knows his job and is very professional, and he will now be the first person we call about anything we have questions about regarding the law. Thanks Alan, we appreciate you!

Possession/paraphernalia charge from State Police down to summary

Quick, easy communication and up front about expected outcome. Showed up to the prelim and it was already handled, then once in the courtroom was able to again reduce the fines. No criminal charges and reduced fines. Very satisfied with the results.

Excellent Attorney

I have used Alan in the past and just recently for a criminal and civil case. And every single one of my cases were resolved to summary offenses on the first day of court. I highly recommend Attorney Ross for any criminal or civil case.

Thankful for Alan !!!!!

I highly recommend this attorney. My husband was facing 4 charges that could have ended up on his background check as criminal charges, which would have cost him his job. Needless to say, we were very worried. Prior to the preliminary hearing, Alan was so supportive, always reassuring us NOT to worry.... Well- he was right - he got the DA to agree to drop ALL 4 CHARGES!!! Judge didn’t seem to happy, but charges were dropped and he plead guilty to a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge! What a great outcome ! Thanks again to Mr. Alan Ross ! Hope we never need him again, but if so , HE IS THE MAN !!!!

Gets Results

Alan was instrumental in getting charges filed aggressively for me and my daughter’s protection. His client presented him with evidence for her case and alarmed for my safety, he offered to help me by making phone calls, following up and explaining everything along the way. He would not take any pa...yment, but wanted to be sure we were protected as quickly as possible. He advocated aggressively for us when the police were dragging their feet simply because he thought it was the right thing to do. Alan goes above and beyond and I highly recommend him!
