Philip E. Shanahan

I got a felony 9 years ago for a hit and run whereas the damages were a mere 57 dollars ! Who gets a felony for this ? I did have prior misdemeanours- yes. But the victim had only a 57 dollar medical bill. She infact didn't understand why they were doing this to me. I did not understand it either...! I didn't understand the legal jargon Phil Was using and asked if I could record our talks. He absolutely would not let me. I just wanted to go home and look up the "Leagal speak " he was using. To this day I do not understand how anyone can get a felony hit and run where the damages were only 57 dollars ! He would not volunteer any information either. I had to pay 10 grand ! He said that was the cost for a felony. The legal firm he worked for said they all charge that much. I found out later that was not true ! Wow. What a mistake to have Phil represent me !

My first call was answered by an interested and extremely helpful paralegal, Richard, who immediately got me in contact with Phil. Phil was open and honest in answering questions and getting the information needed in regards to the potential outcomes of my case. Phil was always reachable by phone, p...ersonable and understanding. Phil did exactly what he said he was going to do and when he said he would do it. I was always treated with the utmost respect and never felt like I was ‘just another case.’ Phil and his paralegal are an amazing team and I highly recommend his law firm for any of your legal needs.

Phillip is an excellent defense lawyer that was a thorough resource for someone who this was their first brush with the law. He and his assistant Richard were there for me throughout my long and arduous dismissal process that ended up taking over 14 months. He was thorough, precise, and available whe...n needed. He explained the in's-and-out's of my situation and his plan to dismiss my case in a manner that was easy to understand for someone who does not speak "legal-ese". While I would not wish legal issues upon any of my friends and family, I would recommend Phillip in a heartbeat.

I hired Phil to represent me on two different cases with multiple charges it was a pretty complex case seeing as how I am on probation from another state when I received the new charges Phil and Richard were absolutely amazing professional and constantly in contact with me. they worked with my husb...and as well to make sure everyone understood everything that was going on at all times. Things were all reduced to what I consider the absolute minimum in the end and I was extremely happy with everything Phil was able to accomplish for me. One year after court I encountered an issue in obtaining my drivers license back, I called Phil just to find out if he knew the answers to the questions and he began helping me out in every way he could, he did not ask for more money before helping me out, he did not brush me off, he simply jumped on board and did everything he could. I pray that I never need representation again but should I ever find myself or anyone I love or care about and need I would 100% recommend Phil Shanahan.

Mr. Shanahan and Richard Hall are all you could ask for in a defense team. My case was a series of unfortunate events and I just felt so wronged I sought out legal advise from these two. They are great. I highly recommend them. They listened to my point of view, they fought for me, they have excellen...t communication. I really couldn't be happier with the outcome thank you both so much
