Professional, Reliable, and Trustworthy
I reached out to a few different firms after receiving my court details in the mail, but I quickly realized that the McShane firm felt the most consistent and genuinely interested in my case. They’re very passionate about getting you the best results, and communication with attorney Corey Fahnestock was quick and easy. Both attorney Corey Fahnestock and Cassandra Frantz were very helpful and informative as they were consistently updating me whenever a delay or change in terms would occur. Worth every dollar! I highly recommend Corey Fahnestock for anyone serious about seeking true justice!

I cannot thank them enough for the outcome of my case. Attorney Tim Barrouk was dealing with a client who was on edge, never been arrested, and didn’t trust him 100% in the beginning, but he came recommended so he was my lawyer. I remember offering to hire a second attorney to help and he reassured me he had it under control. After a while it appeared I made a great choice. He knew the pros & cons of every judge my case was assigned to, he knew when to talk and when to listen in court, he didn’t let me take a bad deal, never pressured me, and responded to every text or call I ever placed to him. Cathi Lee kept me updated on where to be and when to be there. and was always available also. I was facing an Aggravated Assault charge causing serious bodily injury, simple assault, unlawful restraint, and 4 other misdemeanor charges and facing up to 10+ years in state prison. I never denied what I did and there was even video of me doing it. At the end of the day, All my charges were dropped and replaced with one summary offense of disorderly conduct and I was sentenced to pay a $25 fine plus court costs. Tim was always honest, and even told me flat out, these charges fit what you did but your case is triable and we’re gonna work for the best outcome. There were no promises or bs, just facts and business. Thank you Tim and the rest of The McShane Firm for getting me justice and not letting me get lost in the system.

When selecting which attorney to hire, please consider:

Can you call anytime and talk to a live person?
Do they offer payment plans with no credit checks?
Will your attorney be attentive and explain what’s going on?

At The McShane Firm, we answer yes to all of these questions. We strive to provide you with a great customer service experience during this tough time.

You simply cannot get that many if you suck.

So many lawyers presume you to be guilty. It’s shocking really. They will actually do the government’s job for them in convincing you to plead guilty when you are innocent. In their world, it is better to give up. Not us. We know the law.

Ever been punched in the face?

That is the number one question you need to ask any potential criminal defense attorney that you are considering. Most criminal defense attorneys are sheepish wimps. Yup. That’s the truth. They have no idea what violence is. Sure, they might watch boxing or MMA. But we all know that in the real world. There’s no referee. Time limits don’t exist. Weight classes don’t matter. And that if the opponent gets to “murder” before you do, you die. If your attorney has no frame of reference of what an unscripted real world no holds barred fight is, then how can they effectively paint the picture of the emotional soup that is the nanosecond response time that you had to make a decision?

Focus on the long term

You don’t just hire us to “take care of your case”. You hire us to protect your future. Your future is way more than the current case. Most attorneys couldn’t tell you any consequences for a conviction beyond that which is announced in the courtroom. We look at the long term:
