Mr. Marshall represented me about 2 years ago for my divorce and custody case. I switched an attorney after working with Julia Cronin Rater (I had very poor experience there) and it has changed my life. Not only Mr. Marshall's service cost was way less than previous attorney I hired, but the new experience working with legal representative was dramatically better. Since I started working with Lance, I flawlessly won all my cases in court. Also, Mr. Marshall has supported me emotionally throughout entire time. He is very understanding, that divorce and custody battle comes with tremendous stress, so he always was able to find right words to cheer me up and make me feel confident to keep going. From time to time, I still communicate with Mr. Marshall regarding child custody questions, that pop up here and there and he always finds time for me. When my friends ask me for legal representative recommendation, I am happy to refer them to Lance. I feel very grateful for everything Mr. Marshall did for me!
Review
Lance is a very nice guy who helped me in a very bad time. He always fought for me and always had my best interest and the best interests of the children first. I would recommend him to anyone.
Review
What an utter and complete waste of money. You'd do better to plead guilty than to hire this slacker.
Review
Lance is professional but quiet. You do not hear from him unless he has something important to tell you, which is awesome because you’re not being charged for time on useless information. He worked in the background of my busy life, got more than I asked for accomplished, quickly and professionally! I would definitely recommend him because he knows the laws and gets results!
Review
Very, very disappointed with this attorney. He provided no defense whatsoever and I believe my case could have been easily won. There were a lot of extenuating circumstance and improprieties with the stop but none of them were even remotely addressed. Had I known he was not going to push back at all, I would have defended myself and likely would have won. Mr. Marshall told me the trooper's dash cam video was NOT available to me when the state police's own website clearly shows that it is. You expect this type mendacity from the state but not from the people you hire to protect you. He seems like a nice enough guy and might be an adequate lawyer but when I sought redress after being violated by the police, I got nothing. If your case requires anything more than pandering to the cops and groveling in front of the judge, get a real lawyer. EDIT: Mr. Marshall has chosen to rebut my review (above) so here's some amplification. The two charges were speeding (seven miles over the limit (72/65)) and “failure to immediately extinguish a turn signal after changing lanes" (this was cited while on the exit ramp turning off the interstate) and there were multiple irregularities with the stop itself. When I explained the circumstances to Lance, his exact words were: “In all fairness, he was just doing his job.” Not exactly the stance you want your lawyer to take. That really should have told me all I needed to know about this lawyer but I elected to proceed. He advised me to set a court date and then nothing happened. Nothing whatsoever. As the court date approached, I called and was told, “I’ve reached out to the officer but he hasn’t returned my call.” Apparently that was the sum total of his pre-trial efforts. When that didn’t work, he was done. Concerning the dash-cam video, I was summarily and unequivocally told it was not available to me. Later, I find a link at the state police’s own website specifically for requesting dash-cam video. In his rebuttal, Mr. Marshall walks it back some more: “[I]f the client really wanted to see the video, he could have had a hearing and presumably, the Trooper would have played the video and we would have all seen it.” If I really wanted to see it? If? If?? Are you serious?! I walked in the door asking you to look at the dash-cam! I told you what it would show and why I wanted to see it and you specifically told me it was not available. And now you openly admit I could have gotten it! Finally, Mr. Marshall makes this seemingly accurate statement: “Ultimately, it is the client's decision whether to fight the case or not. In this case, the client is the one who made the choice to accept the plea deal that was offered.” Well, that’s true enough but the client also has the right to receive adequate and accurate information from his lawyer before making a decision. I was prepared to fight the case (or else I would have just paid the ticket and saved attorney's fees) and I am convinced had the court been made aware of the circumstances, I would have prevailed. Unfortunately for me, I hired a lawyer who misinformed and under-represented me. So, in the interest of accurate information -- something I didn’t get -- read all the reviews (not just mine) and you’ll see a clear pattern of under-representation. He spent more time on his rebuttal than he did on my defense. It’s not my intention to smear anyone and, in fact, I brought these concerns to Mr. Marshall privately but he was unwilling to assume any responsibility. I was violated by the police and later by my attorney. My money is gone and I have a conviction on my otherwise flawless driving record. Maybe in future Mr. Marshall will spend his time actually defending his clients so that he doesn’t later have to spend the time rebutting them on Google reviews.

Hands down best hangout for cigar lovers. Atmosphere is amazing.

Crew that hangs out is all ages (including girls/women!) and respectful. Locals and regulars provide fantastic camaraderie. Hosts fun events! A must for anyone visiting looking for a great place to find a wide selection of cigars at reasonable prices. Tony really knows his stuff and strives to get the best for his customers and really get to know them. Try out his signature cigars!
Review
Mr. Lisko was a very kind and very professional attorney to work with. He was incredibly intentional, understanding, and wise. He was very easy to work with, and he helped me out after I was injured in a bicycle/car collision. He definitely won't let you down - his years of experience are reassuring. Also, his assistant, Deb, is a lovely person.
Review
Mr. Lisko responded to me very quickly and went over all of my questions concerning the best way to proceed forward. He plainly stated an attorney was not needed for my problem. He then gave me how to proceed and if I had any issues to give him a call back. I could not be happier with his knowledge, concern and professionalism.
Review
Through his care, compassion and expert negotiating, Roy Lisko helped me get though an arrest as a nineteen year old that could have jeopardized my future. I am now a young professional and have benefited tremendously from having a clean record. I can't help but reflect on how valuable his help was in getting me where I am today.

Philip Masorti is one the most brilliant attorneys I've ever known.
Review
Very dedicated and respectful group of people. Helped me out when I needed it most!
Review
What I can say about Phil, he is a life saver. From the very first time I meet with him I knew I was in good hands. His professionalism along with connections from working in the state college area for years have earned him a reputation of a defense attorney no prosecutor enjoys seeing on the other bench. I could not recommend him more. This man is responsive and will walk you through your situation with confidence along with reassuring you it will all be ok. I jokingly told him when my situation was resolved that I hope to never see him again, but god forbid I ever need an attorney again...Phillip Mosorti will be man I call.
Review
Mr. Masorti handled my son's case which was fairly publicized and extremely serious. He kept us in the loop every step of the way. He answered our questions with honesty; talked to the D.A.; gave great-sounding advice; handled the press and saw the case through to the end. Phil was able to get the best possible outcome we could have hoped for for my son who was facing quite a few years in state prison. Phil worked his "magic" and got the sentence down to months in the county jail. Phil was definitely reasonably priced and was well worth the money we paid. Phil's a straight shooter with compassion. Myself, my family and my son truly thank Phil for the job he did and for his professional assistance in a very sensitive case. I highly recommend his services! Thank you Phil!
Review
Phil is a wonderful attorney, a friend, and overall person. During my case, he made sure that I knew what was going on with every step. Whenever I felt uneasy, he always had a way of subsiding those feelings and reassuring me that everything was going to be okay. Phil always looked out for my best interest and made sure that all accommodations were met. Over the course of the case, we developed a very great relationship that stemmed outside of just business. I wish nothing but the best for Phil and that he continues his great work because he is a great human being. Whether he knows it or not, I learned a lot from just being in his presence and observing his meticulous methodology

My son is a Penn State Student and due to some misunderstanding, he got into some trouble in the dorm resulting in a ticket from the campus police. I advised my son to seek help from J.D. Law. Jason responded to my son's request for consultation immediately and gave my son some very good advice. After the consultation, my son decided to have Jason handle the case for him. He guided my son through the entire process updating him with all the interactions with the judge and kept my son informed at all times. Finally, the case was dismissed. According to our experience, Jason is a knowledgeable, highly experienced, and dedicated lawyer, doing everything he could for the maximum benefit of his client and his fee was reasonable. His secretary was very helpful, fitting my son's consultation into Jason's busy schedule relieving my son's anxiety. I highly recommend anyone who has questions or any issues with the law to reach out to J.D. Law.
Review
Found myself in the unusual position of needing legal help while away at school. A local friend referred me to Jason and what a Godsend! Everything I was expecting in my first dealings with an attorney was completely wrong. I expected a cold, calculating attorney who didn't care about his clients as much as his own practice. Jason could not have been more “client-centric” and caring. I felt as if my struggles were his and he was compassionate, caring and extremely knowledgeable on the law. Would recommend to ANYONE in need of representation in State College area. Just a good person. Thank you Jason!!!
Review
Jason was amazing in helping my son with his case. He was always prompt with responses to our inquiries and communicated in detail through out every part of the process. I highly recommend Jason to anyone in the Centre County area. In the end, due to Jason's diligence, everything was expunged.
Review
Though one should always strive to stay on the right side of the law, if you do find yourself on the wrong side you will certainly want Jason in your corner. He is professional, prompt, and knowledgeable. He will guide you through every facet of your case making sure that you are well informed and know what to expect during the proceedings. Whether you ever have to step foot in a courtroom or not. While I'm certainly eager to put this chapter of my life behind me, I realize I could not have done so as quickly or efficiently without the council and aid of Jason Dunkle.
Review
I have had the pleasure of working with Jason on a case that has plagued me since my college days. Jason is the most professional, hardworking, and trustworthy person that you could even have the pleasure of working with. He truly cares about every single case whether it's a summary offense to any bigger case. He is truly the best lawyer that State College has to offer, and in the entire state of Pennsylvania. I would recommend him to anyone in need of any assistance, he will do everything in his power to help you.

Mr. Dickey was able to get my entire case dismissed completely. No charges filed, no record, and I didn't even have to appear before the Magistrate. Absolutely worth it!
Review
Called them 1st! Never returned my call... It's a shame too. I choose him specifically because I've watched him argue in HUNTINGDON COUNTY for the past 30+ years. He used to enjoy a challenge. However, I have many PERSONAL INJURY lawyers returning my calls now it's overwhelming. His office us LITERALLY 15 miles from my home. I'm handicapped and that would have made things even easier for me. My health is failing and am having to relocate in less than 3wks. All due to the reason in which I called him 1st...
Review
I initially hired this lawyer being told by someone that he was known to be one of the best attorney's in the area. I do believe at one time this statement was probably true. I'm guessing this was probably 5-10 years back when he was a little younger, had a fight in him to make or maybe keep the name he now has for himself that unfortunately no longer holds true. He is unfortunate to busy for his own schedule and therefore puts no extensive time into a case & no exaggeration you are truly lucky enough if "Tom Dickey" who you paid for shows up as he now has Pete and a few others handling some of his cases.. His response time is not timely, if they where even returned at all in most cases.. if you're looking for a piece of mind when it comes to having a lawyer on your case, steer clear of this place as you will feel uneasy, alone, and no better than if you had a public defender by your side.
Review
JOB WELL DONE!! Mr. Dickey and his office handled some unusual circumstances for our family. It was a long road but they were very patient with our constant questions, fought hard when needed and, even though we knew he was running to the next client, he took the time needed to update us thoroughly. My mom gave him some good hugs and we are thankful for his dedication!!

Called just looking for a consolation but was absolutely floored by the response I got. I spoke with Attorney Goldstein for much longer than I thought I’d be able to. He took an immediate interest in my case and made me feel heard and understood. Not only was he incredibly helpful but he even gave me other solid ideas of what to do or look for so I could have a plan A,B, C and so on. This is exactly the type of attorney I would want in my corner for all matters.

I contacted attorney Goldstein for my felony case. Mr.Goldstein was more than helpful and very knowledgeable. Unfortunately their was a conflict of interest and Mr. Goldstein could not take my case but I would still recommend him for anyone facing serious criminal charges .
Review
Words cannot express how grateful I am towards Attorney Corky Goldstein. I made a mistake as a younger adult and he was able to help me get another chance to start over. As the case proceeded he was consistent, hard working, determined, thoughtful and very well educated within the system and facts. I struggled to trust the system but he gave me hope and strength the whole way through. Again , I thank him because he did exceed my expectations. Forever grateful to him and the firm.

The McShane Firm is the real deal! My experience was excellent over the 3 year process. There is no firm that compares to this team. The McShane Firm is playing on a whole different level. Tim and Cathi were phenomenal with communication and making things easy for me during the process. Tim Barrouk was like a veteran NFL player playing against middle school kids when it comes to the court room, appealing the case, and overall going back and forth with the district attorney’s office in order to get me the best possible result. From day one he understood what was important to me and how much my life depended on a favorable result. If you are ever in legal trouble, save yourself the stress and headache, call this guy from the start. Thank you Tim and Cathi for everything.
Review
My experience with the McShane firm has been interesting. I went through 2 attorneys and ended up with not the best deal. But one thing I will say is that attorneys Justin and Catherine McShane were able to rectify the situation the best they could. My word of advice to anyone looking for an attorney is this, “ You get what you pay for.” Always research any attorney before you decide to lock into any agreement. It can make all the difference and save you lots of money.
Review
I had legal woes! I needed help. A lot was at stake for me. I called the McShane Firm and spoke to Attorney Tim Barrouk. By the time our call ended, I knew a couple things. I called the right place, and the right attorney. Tim and his Paralegal, Cathi Leigh are an unbeatable team! Cathi Leigh made sure that I was well informed, knew where to be and when and kept my anxiety level at a minimum. Tim had a plan and it worked. I received 30 days of probation and had to pay court costs. No fines! Done! I can't tell you the relief I felt! Thanks, Tim and Cathi Leigh!
Review
Tim Barrouk is a great lawyer! He brought my life back to me, not to mention my wife's too. He got me through my charges in Lebanon Co., which is hard to do. I was already on probation and violated with another charge. That was awesome! The other charge was a DUI in another county and he got me off of that one too. Tim has been my lawyer for over 10 years and has gotten us through it all! Cathi Leigh was great too. She was very supportive and informative about everything the entire time. Even through Covid, they never missed a beat! You won't go wrong with these guys. They are worth every dime! Thanks again guys! Aaron and Diana
Review
Timothy was a pleasure working with for my son If you need a spit fire attorney , he would be the number one man He was up front in the beginning and the whole way through His co worker Kathryn was a absolute unbelievable lawyer as well She said what was needed and got to the point I would hire the Mc Shane law firm in a heart beat and they are a huge hands down lawyers The secretary was always pleasant to talk to They all are professional in every area From a one to five rating they are a number 10 in our eyes Way to go guys !!!!!
