    I have had the good fortune to have known Attorney McShane for four or five years. In nearly forty years of professional life I have worked with two people who early exhibited traits that mark them as leaders in their field and that will go far with unlimited potential. One of those worked for me as a your naval officer, and he is now an admiral in the navy. The other is Attorney McShane. He is one of the most intelligent, dedicated attorney's I have met and his potential is unlimited.

    There is no more knowledgeable attorney in the United States regarding forensic science, specifically as applied to DWI defense, than Justin McShane. He is a reference for attorneys throughout the country. Additionally, his committment to his clients is unyielding. I have met very few attorneys with as much passion, knowledge and skill as Justin McShane.

    I can¿t even begin to describe how knowledgeable Mr. McShane is in his area. He is very well known and respected across the nation in the areas of DUI/DWI defense, and in any dealings with forensic science at large. To boot, Mr. McShane is very giving, and presents on multiple topics many, many times a year¿in person, through listservs, and via webinars. I have been blown away by his knowledge and approach at his seminars, and truly couldn't recommend anyone higher in this field.

    Easily the best trained and knowledgeable attorney on this subject in the entire United States. When in a courtroom Justin knows as much, if not more, about DUI law and science as anyone else in the room. Even the experts. Above that he is always there to help fellow lawyers. I can send him an email at 3 in the morning and he is answering my question within minutes. The guy is a machine. It is my honor to endorse Justin.

    I am honored to review my friend and colleague, Justin McShane. In addition to possessing the highest ethical standards and a selfless devotion to his clients cases, he is one of the ten most scientifically well qualified DUI/DWI defense attorneys in the country. That he has amassed such a storehouse of knowledge and skills in such a short time as an attorney is a tribute to his education, intelligence, and drive. He is board certified, and without a doubt eminently well qualified.

    Justin McShane is extremely gifted, intelligent and motivated. He is very active in sharing his skills and knowledge with other lawyers. He is becoming a very well respected and sought after speaker for continuing legal education seminars. I rated him lower in experience because he is relatively young in our profession.
