Amazing lawyer

He was at a pre trial with another client and heard the percentage of alcohol in my case, he stopped me before I can leave and told me not to plea guilty because I was under the limit and explained everything in detail. He did everything in his power to get my charges dropped and I’m happy to say he ...did in less than a week I received the call. Me and my family are very happy and thankful with the outcome.

Review for Attorney Alan Ross

We hired Attorney Alan Ross to resolve a DUI our son had. He was very helpful, very knowledgable and communicated well. The outcome was better than what we even hoped for. He is kind and to the point. We would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Posted by Leslie | April 29, 2023 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Professional, accommodating, and affordable Attorney

Mr. Ross was knowledgeable explaining and walking me through each step of the DUI legal process in a such a professional way. He was confident and honest in explaining the options and potential outcomes through the entire legal process. I am very glad I utilized him to represent me he was affordable ...and I would not have been able to complete the process with as successful of an outcome without his representation.

You won't find a more qualified, sincere lawyer.

I hired Alan to resolve a years-long custody issue. I was hesitant to hire a lawyer at the beginning, and went unrepresented and was completely taken advantage of. Alan was able to reverse an erroneous court order and give me back the rights I should have had all along as a father. Alan truly came th...rough through for me, and he's the only lawyer I will call!

Unbelievable Service and Results

Alan came to the rescue immediately for a client of mine with a Florida federal case who was arrested while on pretrial release in Pennsylvania. As soon as we hung up from our initial phone call he set to work. He managed to move the court date up by two weeks and negotiate a phenomenal resolution ...of all four original charges to a single non-criminal violation. He was able to accomplish everything on my "wishlist" to mitigate the damage to the federal case. He patiently explained the distinctions between Florida and Pennsylvania law so I understood how the PA process worked. He kept in close contact and gave me daily status updates to pass on to the client. And perhaps most amazingly, he did all this on the honor system, jumping into action without a formal representation agreement or an up-front retainer, simply because he trusted a fellow criminal defense lawyer. Alan will be my go-to for any future PA cases and I recommend him without hesitation.
