Highly Recommend

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!!!

Referral from a colleague

I was referred by a colleague when I was in Indiana for a wedding and was involved in an accident. I live out of state so I was in need of a local attorney. Mr. O’Donnell and his staff were courteous, attentive to my many telephone calls and lessened my trips from Illinois to Indiana. My case was set...tled in an expedient manner with a settlement offer prior to filing a formal lawsuit. I am pleased with my settlement as well as the personal attention given to me by Mr. O’Donnell. i had nothing but a wonderful experience from the beginning to the end. Highly recommended.

Great Representation

I hired Attorney O'Donnell to handle car accident case that I had unfortunately gotten into. Attorney O'Donnell kept my mind at ease and kept me up to date on anything going on with my case. And the end result was better than I had ever expected!! I would highly recommend anybody to hire Attorney O'D...onnell and his staff to handle your personal injury case!

Bravo Attorney O'Donnell

Attorney O'Donnell is an outstanding lawyer. He helped me get the settlement I needed with my personal injury case. He kept me up to date on every aspect of my case. When the insurance company didn't want to settle, attorney O'Donnell filed it in court. I couldn't believe the settlement we got but I... do believe attorney O'Donnell is the top personal injury attorney in Indiana.

I highly recommend this attorney!!

Attorney O'Donnell is very knowledgable and honest. He also delivered everything he said he would when I first met with him. He is also a former prosecutor, so he knows both sides of a criminal case. He was always very good with communicating with me and never blew me off like other attorneys have... done to me in the past. I would highly recommend Attorney O'Donnell for any type of criminal case.
