Helpful, Responsive, Thorough

I contacted Attorney Ross after being charged with a felony PWI regarding a medical marijuana container that was found by police in someone else's car. I wasn't living in the state of PA anymore and did not know that these charges had been filed. Alan made it possible for me to appear by phone/vide...o for court dates, which was great, but he also fought for me to get the felony charge removed. Medical marijuana laws are new and complex, but Alan was able to navigate me through this unjust charge against me. I also had a warrant for a very old charge in a different county, and he was able to handle that with me appearing virtually as well, with very minimal court costs and fines. I am so thankful that I gave him a call. He followed through on everything he said he would do. He was responsive to questions and thorough in his work representing me.

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
