How The McShane Firm Defends Strangulation Charges in Lancaster County

Strangulation charges are high-stakes. In Lancaster County, they’re often felony charges filed with little more than an accusation. That’s why you need a smart, aggressive defense strategy from day one.

At The McShane Firm, here’s how we defend clients across Lancaster, Manheim, and beyond:

1. We Challenge the Narrative

The police report is often written from a single perspective. We examine every detail, look for inconsistencies, and offer the court a full picture — not just one side.

2. We Push for Discovery Early

Lancaster County prosecutors don’t always turn over everything upfront. We know what to request and when — from 911 calls to medical records.

3. We Attack the Felony Designation

We don’t let the DA stack enhancements unless they’re truly justified. No PFA? No injury? No prior record? We push to downgrade the charge.

4. We Prep for Court from Day One

Whether it’s an MDJ hearing in Lititz or trial in the Lancaster County Courthouse, we prepare your case thoroughly. That preparation often forces better deals — or full acquittals.

5. We Know the System

This isn’t a place to experiment with your defense. We’ve walked these halls, fought these fights, and we win — because we know how.
