Esq Shannon Malone is the most professional criminal defense attorney i have had the pleasure to hire. She got my DWI charge(a serious defense) down to where i should be able to obtain my license in just a couple of weeks and a small price to pay for my fine. She is amazing. I know i made a huge mistake, she was so compassionate and just so human. I went from a mess to completely comfortable, head clear in the game, and i now attend AA. Thank you, shannon malone. Not only what you have done for me law wise, but for now making me change my life style for the better!!

Shannon Malone is bar none the best criminal defense attorney you could ever ask for. If you need someone who is compassionate, professional, knowledgeable, and has an excellent rapport with judges, Shannon Malone is who you need. She helped me with a dwi case and was able to make it where i can still drive to work and therapy, and got the charge reduced. I don't know where I would be without her.

Review submitted by request of Ed Haas:

I received a citation after exceeding the speed limit for a short distance to avoid a large truck at the top of a steep hill. I normally travel in the opposite direction where the posted speed limit is 10 mph higher for this same section of road. To add confusion, the lower speed limit sign in my direction was obscured by tree branches and the GPS speed limit postings on my dashboard did not change to the lower speed limit until the bottom of the steep hill. This was then too late to slow down enough to avoid radar. This was the ideal location for a 'speed trap' and I was the victim. As a driver who is proud of my otherwise good driving record, I wanted to fight back. I did not want my insurance company penalizing me for an isolated incident that happened to avoid a large truck that approached quickly from behind. Unfortunately, I lack experience in such matters.
Although I was already scheduled for a pre-trial conference, I was concerned that providing the above information to a prosecutor could only give him/her the opportunity to prepare a better defense in court. I needed someone with more experience in such matters. I therefore contacted Shannon Malone after receiving a recommendation from the Suffolk County Bar Association. I was seeking an attorney experienced in such matters. I was impressed with Shannon's resume and experience, and after meeting her, I was impressed with her honesty and professionalism. I freely admitted that I exceeded the speed limit, but the mitigating circumstances were important. A plea of "guilty" or "not guilty" did not tell the whole story. After the initial consultation with Shannon, it was easy to put my trust in her. My problems then became hers, and the anger and stress I was feeling then melted away. The thought of increased insurance payments for the next three years was stressful; my last car insurance bill increased by 25% even though I take Defensive Driving every three years, am a senior citizen, and have an otherwise clean driving record. Shannon however knew just what to do. I did not have to take time off from work to face a prosecutor and/or judge alone.
Shannon quickly and favorably resolved this case. She was able to get the citation reduced to a parking ticket with no points on my license. I consider the money I spent on her fee well worth it, and highly recommend contacting Shannon for any issues within her larger field of expertise.
Sincerely,
Ed Haas

This law firm was excellent, they handled a personal injury case from beginning to end with professionalism, ensuring my concerns were addressed, keeping me informed, taking my calls and safeguarding my rights.

The case was resolved to my satisfaction - I would highly recommend Glynn, Mercep and Purcell to anyone looking for legal assistance in the Suffolk County Area.

The plaintiff hired an attorney to try to get $1 million from my father. After a thorough review of my dad‘s finances, and analyzing the situation, our attorney Craig Purcell told the apposing counselor that he would be wasting his time and efforts. The plaintiff’s attorney backed off. Craig was kind, astute, extremely patient with my elderly father who was distraught and very confused over the situation. Mr. Purcell has proven to us that he is an smart, trustworthy attorney who will always do the right thing. We are eternally grateful and have become loyal clients.

Glynn Mercep Purcell and Morrison have taken care me as if I was a part of their own family. Working with my attorney Mr Purcell and his team has been flawlessly executed, efficient and extremely educational. They make their clients feel so comfortable and informed about every decision made regarding your case. Special thanks also goes to their support staff who communicate so well and make every opportunity to fulfill your needs. They managed to settle my case for roughly twice what the insurance company initially offered, almost exactly two years after my accident. Thank you all once again.

I was injured in a car accident, and the driver who caused the accident had minimum insurance. My lawyer Craig Purcell explained that I could obtain additional compensation for my injuries under my insurance policy, but only if the insurance company for the other driver offered the entire proceeds of his policy. Mr. Purcell turned down several smaller offers until the insurance company finally agreed to pay us the whole policy. He hung tough & now I can make a claim with my own insurance company. My lawyer Craig Purcell did an excellent job for me.

If I were you, I would stray away.

Got into two accidents at no fault of my own by the people having the same insurance company and Mr. Purcell was able to do absolutely nothing meanwhile I had significant damage to my brain/back. And when I asked about my case, they dropped it.

Update 2024: went to another lawyer and they were able to fix the case from the misdoings of Mr Purcell, and they were able to get me money.

Again, I suggest staying away from greedy, bad lawyers.

Don’t use them.
