Amazing Attorney

We were referred to Mr. Ross by another defense attorney who had recently retired. Our matter involved theft charges being brought against our son in juvenile court. Our son knew nothing about the charges and I got the run-around for two months trying to get details and a copy of the police repor...t. No one cared that our son was actually innocent. After one meeting with the JPO and two meetings with the ADA no one was listening to us or even doing their job of investigating BEFORE filing charges, all they wanted to know is whether or not he was going to take the Consent Decree ("the deal") or request a trial - that's when we hired Mr. Ross. As it turned out, another kid was caught with stolen property, charged with theft and receiving stolen property. Part of his "deal" was to tell who sold him the stolen property - he picked our son. Based on that's kid's word, charges were filed against our son. Amazingly, Mr. Ross had the whole thing cleared up and the charges withdrawn within a matter of days. He proved to the detective, the JPO and the ADA that they were wrong - all without us ever seeing a court room. I would describe Mr. Ross as aggressive and very knowledgeable of the law. His fee was very affordable and appropriate for the case. He stayed in contact with me throughout the whole ordeal - even calling and texting after business hours to provide updates. I'm not one who is easily impressed but I was VERY impressed with how Mr. Ross handled this case and the outcome. I highly recommend his services.

Highly Recommended Attorney

I highly recommend Mr. Ross. I facing 90 days mandatory for a second offense DUI, highest tier and received a sentence of 4 months house arrest and no jail time. Mr. Ross took the time to explain everything to me in detail and make sure I understood what I was facing. He definitely exceeded my expect...ation. I highly recommended hiring Mr. Ross.

Very respectable lawyer

Our son threw a water bottle out of our truck window one night and an off duty officer saw him. He followed our son and got our licence plate number. Two days later two officers came to our house and questioned us about who had our truck that day and we were honest. They said our son would recei...ve a citation in the mail. They told us that our son scattered bags of rubbish out of our truck. When we got a chance to talk to our son he said that it was one water bottle. They also said that they had a witness behind him. We later found out that that witness was his girlfriend driving behind him and they never even talk to her. When my son went to the police station to talk to them they were very rude to our son and said that he said all sorts of things that he never said. 3 days later we received several citations in the mail saying that our son did all sorts of things like driving recklessly following too closely speeding and so on. My son never did any of that and we were sure it was because he went down there to talk to them and they treated him badly because he was a young male. We hired Mr . Ross to defend our son because he was being falsely accused. Mr. Ross worked so hard on our sons case and proved that everything the officers were saying was false. We couldn't of got through any of that without him. He was so kind and down-to-earth and treated us like he knew us his whole life. You won't go wrong in hiring him.

Very Satisfied with Alan

Attorney Ross was recommended 10 years ago to my family and was very satisfied with his legal representation. Alan is knowledge and very informative when it comes to the law. Today the outcome was very satisfying again. Thank you for all you do.
