Attorney Alan Ross should be your only call for legal representation in a criminal matter!

Today was a day I was both dreading, but also looking forward to as I had to appear for a preliminary hearing regarding an accidental discharge of a firearm that resulted in the projectile passing through the wall of my dwelling and into the adjacent one. I say dreading because of the implications i...t would have on both my life and career. Conversely I was looking forward to it because I had attorney Alan Ross in my corner defending me. I cannot say enough about how professional Alan was in how he presented himself and my case during the hearing, and the amount of time and effort that he took to prepare for it. In the end, his thorough research of case law, legal statutes, and presiding opinion, and presentation of such before the district justice was impressive. He was prepared for, and countered the opposing arguments of the district attorney and ended up swaying the judge in our favor to dismiss the case on all counts. I cannot thank Alan enough for all the hard work, and compassion he showed towards both my case and myself, prior to and including today’s hearing . While I hope to never have to retain his services again, should the need arise he will always be the one I look to engage on my behalf, and if anyone is out there reading this because they are seeking outstanding service and representation, I highly encourage you to call him.

Now I feel ready!

I can only give a gigantic THANK YOU to Alan in appreciation of how he helped me today. I reached out to him as I was unable to afford a lawyer but was still in desperate need of advice. He responded to my email in about 10 minutes and then shared tons of advice with me for about 40 minutes. I was lo...st but I now know exactly what I need to do! Excellent, excellent, excellent!

Excellent Attorney-Alan M. Ross

Attorney Ross was professional, knowledgeable and confident from the very start. I called him out of the blue for some trouble I found myself in after a concert. He not only answered on the first ring, but was reassuring and calming to me. He explained what would happen and what the goals were from t...he very start. He was able to take a situation that involved multiple charges, including possession, and resisting arrest, and with his expert approach, had everything reduced to the lowest and best possible outcome. Alan Ross completely delivered for me in every way. He helped resolve one of the worst situations of my life. I will recommend him for the rest of time. Again, a great man and even better attorney!

Positive Experience

After going through two previous attorneys to represent my son on a PWID charge, I contacted Alan Ross to take my son's case. At this point I was extremely upset and discouraged with legal representation. Thank goodness for Attorney Ross who genuinely cared about my son. Attorney Ross gave me hope. H...e answered my calls, often on the first ring, and took time to explain the legal process. He is an excellent communicator and very knowledgeable. As a result of Attorney Ross's diligence, the Felony Possession with Intent to Deliver a Controlled Substance was reduced to Possession of a Small Amount of Marijuana.

family

I was served with an emergency PFA by my daughters grandmother accusing me of hurting my child. Alan was on top of the case immediately as soon as we called him. He set up meetings with children and youth and police right away. His diligent work and dedication to our case had the matter solved in no... time. The grandmother withdrew her request for a PFA at our court hearing after all investigations lead to negative results. Alan went our of his way to make himself available to talk and more meet with me through the process. Not only is he the best attorney in the area, he truly cares about his clients. I can't tell you how many times I called him scared and upset and he talked me through the legal process. After speaking with Alan, I knew I could trust him with my life, which is my family. His overall professionalism shows when entering the court room as he is confident and strong, with a good heart. I am grateful to of had him on my side and will continue to hire him for any cases in the future
