My name is Attorney Shane O'Donnell. I am a former Lake County Prosecutor. While being employed at the Prosecutor's Office, I handled numerous misdemeanor and felony cases including DUI/OWI, drug dealing and possession, theft and conversion, burglary, battery, and murder.

I was also named a Top 100 Trial Lawyer by the National Trial Lawyers Association in both 2014 and 2015.

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.
