Consummate Professional

Shane and his staff have helped me tremendously. I felt confident in corresponding with him and he always responded to me promptly whenever I had a question (and I had plenty). I would recommend him to anyone who needs a professional who knows what they are doing.

Attorney O’Donnell and his staff did an outstanding job on my son’s car accident case, and I also got my same son out of some criminal charges. They are the best law firm in Northwest Indiana hands down. Highly recommended!

Katie

Even though my case is still actively going on, Shane has been truly the best attorney I have ever had, From day one when he came and visited me while I was incarcerated, he treated me and talked to me like I was one of his friends, and not a client number. He is so easy to get in touch with and even... though I dont know what the outcome of my case is going to be, he is truly amazing, I tell him how much I appreciate him all the time because no matter what mistakes I have made on my end he is truly trying his best for me and it shows. I would recommend Shane to anyone for criminal stuff. Thank you Shane.
