The Law Offices of David S. Shrager
Reviews
I was falsely accused of a sex crime, and if it wasn't for attorney David S. Shrager, my life would be over. I wasted a ton of money on another lawyer before hiring David, but fired the first lawyer after realizing that he did not have the specialized experience that I needed. I realized this after he wan't able to answer several questions that he certainly should have been able to. I chose to get a consultation from David basically because of the reviews he has. I cannot truly express how good I felt after meeting with him. He spoke the language that I was hoping he would. He had tried numerous sex crime cases in the past, and seemed to really know the DAs that handled such cases. When I asked him about "taint hearings" and he explained them to me, I knew I had the right guy. Today I am a free man because of David. If you're ever accused of a sex crime, spare no expense. I learned that you are presumed guilty until proven innocent, especially in Allegheny County. Thanks a million David - I'm deeply grateful.
David S. Shrager is everything I hoped for but didn't think was possible when dealing with an attorney. If someone I cared about were ever to run into trouble with the law, especially in a case where there is a terrible miscarriage of justice being perpetrated, there is only one law office I would refer them to. I would give them the number of the Law Offices of David S. Shrager. If you even have an inkling that you may need the services of a criminal defense attorney, innocent or not, CALL THIS MAN! Law Enforcement and the "Justice System" really are out to harm you, not to carry out justice. If you are smart, you will retain David. I called David the night my daughter was taken from my home and my wife and I were told charges were forthcoming and asking us to come in the morning to turn ourselves in. I furiously called multiple attorneys, but I was able to get David on the line almost immediately. He asked me to come in the morning before his first hearing. We did, and even though the detectives tried to railroad us by saying we needed to be in front of the judge by 830 when the night before they said 11am, he sent Erin, one of the paralegals, in his personal car to go with us. You will never feel so unsure and anxious as when you are having to deal with this kind of stuff. Having a confident qualified professional to help is the best relief in the world. If you think it can't happen to you, think again. You don't have to be a scumbag low life. The law may seek to make an example of you regardless of circumstances and will even involve the media to blacken your name. The ordeal my wife and I have gone through over the past 9 months has been terrifying, exhausting, and depressing. We were railroaded by a system that showed zero actual concern for children, family, or the rights of private citizens. Both of us were charged in a case that involved my child and CYF, a government agency that makes the DMV look like the model of an efficient, reasonable, and righteous organization, but I digress. All charges were misdemeanors yet the local Television News still managed to come to my home twice and show up for court. The most important thing to know is David is like a Honey Badger in court. He's tenacious, brilliant, experienced, and strategic. Watching him work during one of the prelim hearings was the lone bright spot of that morning. He had the presence and intellect to be the master of that courtroom and the initial assistant DA was completely outclassed. David is feared by these people because he's the MAN. He can get you concessions that lesser tenured lawyers can't. They know youre bringing out the big Gun. Further more, From the first, David and his staff were warm, caring, understanding, and above all else, they looked into our eyes and knew we were telling the truth. THey were personally incensed at the system's treatment of us, but they were realistic, open, and honest about the realities of the situation. Unlike every other person, organization, or insititution we came into contact with (except for Ashley and Pat from Family Resources, who were also awesome) David and his staff actually took the time to learn what type of people we were. I consider he and his staff to be friends now, and though I hope to never need to retain him again for his services, we like them well enough we got them christmas presents.
My family had the great fortune to find Attorney Shrager, who assisted my Father when he required legal counsel. Mr. Shrager's knowledge of the law was exceptional, his staff consummately professional, and his fees very reasonable. Beyond his excellence as a lawyer, Mr. Shragers went above and beyond to assuage my family's uncertainty as to what the proceedings might entail and assure us of a favorable and timely outcome. It is with the utmost confidence and greatest respect that I recommend Attorney Shrager as a lawyer. But what's more, I strongly recommend him to anyone seeking compassionate representation during a difficult time. It is clear that to David, the law is not simply a job but that serving clients is a true calling he approaches with the utmost legal skill.
Brilliant Defense Attorney! A friend of mine was falsely accused of a serious crime, and because of David is now free and able to move on with his life. David lived up to his repution. He was able to help my friend avoid many years in prison when facing a felony charge. His repution with the Allegheny County prosecutors goes a long way!Thank you David and all of your staff.
Hired David for a DUI I got in while in Pittsburgh for the weekend, and I'm glad I did. I called several lawyers before finally choosing David (David S. Shrager, not David J). I chose David after I found out he has been handling DUI cases for over 30 years. End result - DUI was dropped and I agreed to plea to careless driving. Didn't lose my license, which I need for work.
