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!

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.

Very knowledgeable attorney.

Shane is extremely easy to talk to. He has a tremendous amount of experience with criminal cases and explains things in a way that you really understand what is happening and how the process works. He also knows how to get the best possible result on injury cases. Highly recommended.

Awesome Attorney

Shane O'Donnell is the best attorney in Indiana! He has helped me and several of my friends in several criminal and personal injury matters. He got my case DISMISSED and got one of my friends a significant personal injury settlement after he was injured in a car accident. He and his staff are incredi...bly dedicated to getting you the best result possible. I would highly recommend him!

I searched the internet for days to find a good attorney in Lake co I didn't know any in the area. I found Shane and looked at his reviews and they were all excellent! I talked to him several times about the case before even meeting him and before we hired him and he told me exactly what he could do ...for my fiance with him having a lengthy criminal history. He returned all of my phone calls at a timely manner and is VERY respectful and professional! We eventually hired him & he did exactly what he told us he could do! He got my fiance an amazing plea I couldn't be happier with his work! The girls in the office are also great & will go above and beyond!!!
