Client

I called several lawyers for about my possession of marijuana case and Alan Ross was open and honest about the case from the start. He let me know exactly what to expect and discussed the cost and expected outcomes from the case as well. Everything worked out and Alan was open and available to disc...uss the case whenever I needed him. I am thankful I had the opportunity to have Alan Ross represent me for my case and would recommend him for someone else and I would retain him again if i need representation.

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!

Best attorney ever

I sold psilocybin mushrooms to a police officer on camera at a phish show at Hershey Park. Alan took on my case he assured me from moment 1 I had absolutely nothing to worry about. He made sure I was not the least bit inconvenienced by the case and made it so I only had to appear in court 1 time. His... price was unbelievable as well I expected to pay twice what he charged for the representation he provided. After Alan fought for me he brought my felony PWI to a misdemeanor simple possession. I had to do 90 days of probation and it was over. If you need an effective attorney who absolutely will get results for you hire Alan Ross. If you have ever seen the movie Pulp Fiction then understand that Alan Ross is the Winston Wolf of criminal defense in Harrisburg Pennsylvania. I would give him 10 stars if you let me.

Marijuana DUI

I hired Attorney Alan Ross for a marijuana DUI. Control substance dui is treated as highest tier. He was able to get it dropped down (lowest tier) so that I was able to keep my license. This was the best possible outcome. He communicated with me in a timely manner, explained things in detail, and mad...e the process a breeze. Would recommend.

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.
