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.

Excellent Attorney

I hired Alan for a dui charge. He explained the situation and what I was facing clearly. Then In court he was able to get the charge dropped completely. I highly recommend him.

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.

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
