Client Testimonials

Attorney Kevin was amazing and guided me through a very tough time. He had expertise within the DA office prior to converting to Shrager defense, so he brought a wealth of knowledge to my case. I highly recommend this firm if you are ever in an unfortunate scenario. Paralegal Erin was extremely caring and insightful, all while assisting my schedules and trial dates. I highly recommend this firm and consider them one of the elite firms in the Pittsburgh area, given my experience.

Kevin was my attorney for a recent case and from the beginning to the end he was wonderful. Every phone call and appointment was timely, he was polite, professional and thorough. He told me right up front what to expect and how much it would cost and everything went just as he informed me. I would 100% use Kevin and Shrager Defense again in the future and refer them to anyone who needed a great attorney.

ALL DISMISSED! I cannot recommend attorneys David Shrager and Kevin Chernosky enough. Mr. Shrager took my phone call personally to intake my case and explain the next steps. He broke down multiple pricepoints that might meet my needs and helped me get set up. I was facing 5 felony charges and felt incredibly upset. Mr. Chernosky (who is one of the coolest people I've ever met) had a phone call with me a few days before our preliminary hearing and explained strategy, possible outcomes, and the merits of my defense. The preliminary hearing was long and contentious, but by the end of it the judge dismissed all charges against me. Mr. Chernosky then took the time to talk with me outside the courthouse to help me understand exactly what happened, what the steps were from there, and encouraged me to give him a phone call if anything came up in the future that he could help with. This team is the real deal and worth every penny.

We hired David to work with another attorney in my son's case and he did a fantastic job. My son was falsely accused of a serious crime and we did a lot of research trying to find the best lawyers for his case. We chose David and it was the best decision we could have made. It was clear from the first time we went to court that he was going to fight for my son. Fight he did, and we could not have asked for a better outcome given the circumstances. Thanks also to his amazing paralegals who helped us through this difficult time.

Highly recommend Lyle! He is the epitome of professional and balanced with genuine caring for his clients. Lyle listened and walked us through all the options and possible outcomes to formulate a plan with which we were comfortable. At the end, we received the best possible outcome! Lyle is a rockstar!
