Strangulation cases in Cumberland County are tricky — they often involve high emotion, one-sided accounts, and very little physical evidence. But we know how to win them. 
Here’s how The McShane Firm defends these charges in Mechanicsburg, Shippensburg, and beyond:
1. We Focus on the Law’s Language
The statute requires the act to be intentional. That’s a high burden — and we exploit it by showing hesitation, accident, or mutual contact.
2. We Highlight What’s Missing
Injury? Witnesses? Third-party confirmation? If the case rests on a single claim with no supporting evidence, we frame that as unreliable from the start.
3. We Know the Prosecutors
Every DA’s office has pressure points. We know how to apply them. We negotiate when it makes sense — and fight when it doesn’t.
4. We Dig Into Context
These charges often arise in the middle of family breakups, custody disputes, or emotional breakdowns. We make sure the court sees the full context, not just a snapshot.
5. We Are Prepared for Trial
Many lawyers prepare for a plea deal. We prepare for a fight. When the DA sees we’re ready to go the distance, they take notice.
