Shouse Law Group

Like most people, I had no idea where to look for an attorney when I was arrested. I found Shouse Law Group on the internet, and due to their good reviews, I took a chance with them and am glad that I did. Leo Manalo was assigned to my case and took control of the situation right away. I was very nervous, never having been through anything like this before and he assured me everything would turn out ok. He was responsive to all my questions and sympathetic to my situation. In the end he was able to reduce my charge from a felony to a misdemeanor without jail time. I would highly recommend Leo and Should Law Group.

Leo ****** is a fantastic criminal attorney. He is extremely responsive and gave me his personal cell, replying right away to my calls, as well as texts. Leo is very forthright and realistic when it comes to setting client expectations of possible outcomes, but always communicated in a calm, sympathetic and reassuring demeanor that put me at ease in the face the most nerve-racking experience of my life. He was concise and clear about my options and the decisions I needed to make, explaining it all in simple, 'non-lawyer' terms and answering every question, regardless of how silly they seemed. Leo has a great relationship with prosecutors and court staff, which no doubt played a significant roll in facilitating and expediting what ended up being an easy negotiation of my case. We settled without having to go to trial, and with a much better outcome than I even expected. The cherry on top was when we were standing in the courthouse, ready to sign the paperwork reflecting the details we had negotiated with the prosecutor, which I was satisfied with, and he said to me, "You know, I don't want you to take this deal... I'm going to try one more thing..." He walked back into the courtroom and came out a few minutes later with an even lesser charge than we negotiated. Boom. That level of tenacity is impressive. That's the difference between a public defender, to whom you are simply a case number, and a skilled criminal attorney at the top of his game. There is no comparison. When you're faced with the prospect of putting your fate in someone else's hands, especially in a situation that has massive potential impact on your life going forward, Leo's demeanor, expertise, communication and thoroughness are invaluable. After court, he sent me an email summarizing everything, pertinent dates and my exact obligations going forward. Court documents can be confusing and unclear, and sometimes the clerk's handwriting can be difficult to read, so Leo completely 'idiot-proofed' for me. I highly recommend him and, if I ever need a criminal attorney again (god forbid), there is no other attorney I would call.

I was in a difficult situation, and I needed someone who could answer my questions. Criminal attorney John Murray of The Shouse law firm was able to answer all my questions and frequently called to check up and update me with information about my case. He let me know how everything would work, and the different options I had. The outcome went well, and I am grateful I can move forward now. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a criminal attorney.

John Murray did an amazing job, stayed in contact, and got my case done fast and was on task.

Jenn and I previously worked at the same office. Jenn is an aggressive litigator who knows the law and the practice of criminal defense. She cares deeply about her clients, and their cases. Jenn has a great reputation in all the communities in which she has practiced; judges, prosecutors, and fellow defense attorneys know that Jenn is a champion for her clients, and is a superb litigator.

Mr. Scafiddi was willing to meet with us whenever requested, as well as provided quick responses to call, texts, and email inquiries. His associates who often appeared with us in court were always professional and prepared. Mr. Scafiddi is personal and attentive and provided the best advice and result we could have received in our case. I highly recommend this attorney and his firm.

If you’re looking for a a great criminal defense lawyer, John Murray from The Shouse Law Firm is awesome. His level of professionalism goes above and beyond anything I’ve ever seen. While working as a security guard I received three charges including a “High Capacity Magazine” charge, which they wanted to charge as a Felony. He fought for me untill the end. Going back and forth with the prosecutor. They dropped the charges in exchange for community service. He took his time with me to discuss my case from the get go and was extremely devoted. My counselor, Mr. Murray knew that I was in the middle of my Army recruitment, so he made sure I did not get a Felony, as it would’ve ruined any chances of serving. I have retained my ability to both join the Military, as well as keep my 2nd Amendment Right to own a firearm. Because of Mr. Murray, I have also retained my right to continue to vote. I whole heartedly thank Mr. Murray for all of his hard work and dedication. I am very pleased with him and the Shouse Law Firm, and would think of calling no one else except John Murray.
