Excellent Attorney!

Case Dismissed Thanks to Mr. Ross! Mr. Ross was a true lifesaver for my family. My husband was extradited from New York to Pennsylvania on a warrant, and I was terrified. From day one, Mr. Ross was always available to answer my calls and calm me down. He fought so hard for my husband, and today th...e case was dismissed! His fees were fair, and he worked with us on flexible payments, which made things easier during such a stressful time. Mr. Ross is tough in the courtroom, yet professional and highly skilled in his expertise—he knows exactly how to fight for his clients while keeping families reassured throughout the process. I’ll never forget how much he cared and how determined he was to get the best outcome. If you need a criminal lawyer who will fight for you and stand by your side, Mr. Ross is the one.

Attorney Alan Ross should be your only call for legal representation in a criminal matter!

Today was a day I was both dreading, but also looking forward to as I had to appear for a preliminary hearing regarding an accidental discharge of a firearm that resulted in the projectile passing through the wall of my dwelling and into the adjacent one. I say dreading because of the implications i...t would have on both my life and career. Conversely I was looking forward to it because I had attorney Alan Ross in my corner defending me. I cannot say enough about how professional Alan was in how he presented himself and my case during the hearing, and the amount of time and effort that he took to prepare for it. In the end, his thorough research of case law, legal statutes, and presiding opinion, and presentation of such before the district justice was impressive. He was prepared for, and countered the opposing arguments of the district attorney and ended up swaying the judge in our favor to dismiss the case on all counts. I cannot thank Alan enough for all the hard work, and compassion he showed towards both my case and myself, prior to and including today’s hearing . While I hope to never have to retain his services again, should the need arise he will always be the one I look to engage on my behalf, and if anyone is out there reading this because they are seeking outstanding service and representation, I highly encourage you to call him.

2nd case handled by Attorney Ross.

Attorney Ross handled both a civil case and a summary offense case that intertwined in a high stakes situation for me. It was a very complicated traffic case that ultimately worked out so incredibly well. I was in a vicious cycle of license suspension and I had given up hope that I'd even have a driv...ers license again, it wasn't a cheap process and it wasn't a simple process either but he took all of that into consideration and was very reasonable with the price of taking my cases. He was very communicative, knowledgeable, and he takes pride in the work he does.

Excellent Choice for Fair Justice

Alan Ross When I asked you to help my friend with his Legal Issues dealing with Marijuana in one of the strictest counties in Pennsylvania, I had hoped to get him the best legal counsel around. Contacting and retaining you was one of the best decisions my friend and I could have made for his fair... justice. Whereas, my friend was probably looking at 2-3 years of jail time, you were able to negotiate a safe surrender, a same-day hearing, and an upfront plea deal that saw my friend walk out of the courthouse a free man with only a 90-day house arrest and a 1-year probation sentence. Even his fines were lowered to almost nothing compared to what they could have been. Your thorough and well-strategized planning of his case was very effective representation. Your legal expertise and experience helped save my friend from a harsher sentencing that he otherwise would have incurred navigating the justice system by himself. Your fee was reasonable and your counsel was spot on. I appreciate and highly recommend your legal services to anyone in need of a great lawyer. Thank You for helping me help my friend.
