Strangulation charges in York County are serious — often felonies — and they move fast through the system. If you’ve been accused, you need a defense team that knows the local courts, the strategies that work, and how to take control early. 
At The McShane Firm, our strangulation defense strategy in York County includes:
1. Challenging the Intent
The law requires you to have acted “knowingly or intentionally.” If it was a reflex, self-defense, or accidental, we hammer that home.
2. Exposing Weaknesses in the Accuser’s Story
We compare their police statement to their preliminary hearing testimony, 911 call, and any follow-up interviews. If there’s inconsistency, we seize on it.
3. Highlighting the Lack of Injury
York County jurors expect to see bruising or medical records. When they aren’t there, we use that to build reasonable doubt — fast.
4. Digging Into Relationships and Motives
Is this accusation part of a custody dispute, revenge, or power play? We investigate and present what the prosecution won’t.
5. Knowing the Courtroom
From MDJ offices in West Manchester to the Court of Common Pleas in downtown York, we’ve handled cases in every courtroom. We understand what local judges and prosecutors respond to.
We don’t walk clients into plea deals without a fight. If you’ve been charged with strangulation in York County, contact The McShane Firm now. We’ll fight like your future depends on it — because it does.
