he fights for you and does not back down

where do i start, well i was looking at a life sentence, So i hired Bryan Hershman and Scott McGinty which was the best decision i ever made. they fought for me and my family even when he was to busy to take my case. they kept me informed of everything that was going on they never backed down from t...he prosecutor they even worked weekends these two men are awesome, smart, professional and know there business he took the time to get to know me and feel like they are part of my family now. So if you want results you definitely want to hire Bryan, my life sentence went from life to ankle bracelet for 5 months

Self Defense Acquittal on Murder Charge

This man saved my life. I was charged with 2nd degree murder and felt hopeless. Bryan layed it all out for me. Worst case lose at trial and get 15 years. Deal, best we can get is 10 years (Pierce County DA bullies for deals). We negotiated back and forth multiple times and they wouldn't come down. Br...yan never EVER told me what to do. He always asked for what I thought and felt. I would get the Pros and Cons and then make a decision and he would not question it once it was made. I chose Trial. He promised he would do everything possible to fight for my innocence. Bryan was calling me at 7pm, while he was changing his sprinkler heads, to work on my testimony. When he arrives at the courtroom in front of the jury he is sharp. Bryan shines when it comes to relating to the jury. We went up against a very good prosecutor. I would say they were equal in analytical skills of the law. But wowww Bryan was miles ahead when it came to presenting my case to the jury. His wording, charisma, and body language I believe was the difference. I didn't think I could take the stand (nerves) but his relentless coaching made my testimony work. We made a 20 page document outlining the testimony. This guy works hard. I got a full acquittal based on self defense and now have my life back.

dv charges

Mr. Hershman is very polite, witty, well liked and respected by DA and Judges. He is well spoken, not real personal in dealing with a case. He is all business and really does not get into how one feels. Mr. Hershman is a great attorney. However, unless one is very well off, with plenty of funds or in... court for murder, you can find other attorney's to rep you. I really did respect him, but came away very disappointed and not agreeing. He does have another attorney in his office that appeared for him on the first day of my grandson's assault charge. This young attorney is very knowledgeable, well spoken and would be happy to hire him. Mr. Hershman is just too busy for lower cases and charges. we just did not have the funds to afford him in depth.

Simply the best!

From the moment we initially spoke to Bryan over the telephone we knew he was the lawyer we wanted. He is very professional and knowledgeable and does not beat around the bush. He is a very dedicated lawyer and took our case very seriously the entire duration of the case which was over 7 months long.... He was always open for communication from us to include telephone calls, email, and text messages. His knowledge of the law and presentation in court were able to have 1, but 3 felony charges dismissed in court. I would recommend him to anyone. Although the financial obligation may seem a bit steep, you cannot put a price on freedom and that is exactly what he did for us. Outstanding lawyer, with great values, and determination!
