I'm scared. I don't know what to do. I need a lawyer—like now. So tell me, why you?

For the local.

We are licensed to practice in Pennsylvania. For bigger cases, we’ll go anywhere. But we normally use a local approach.

We are located in the heart of most counties in our local service area. Our Adams County and main office is in Gettysburg. Our Cumberland County branch is in Carlisle. And our Franklin County office is in Chambersburg.

Atty. Barrouk worked over 15 years for The McShane Firm, based in Harrisburg. He regularly served Dauphin and York counties and will continue to do so with Steve Rice Law. Tim lives close by in Dillsburg, PA. He works out of his home office or from one of our other locations.

So what?

We have a presence. We know how things work. We know the players and the system. Ask around. People know who we are.

For the quality

  • We are exclusive. We do one thing, criminal defense.

  • We are experienced. Steve has been at it since 2000, Dave since 2006, Tim since 2007.

  • We are distinguished. Steve is a board certified specialist.

  • We are a leader. For the past two years, we have been the leader or in the top-10 for each county in our local service area. As we expand our reach, we hope to expand our leadership in other areas.

So what?

We know what we're doing, and it shows. Time and time again, when people have to vote with their money to protect their freedom, they vote Steve Rice Law.

For the latest

We are powered by world class cloud software like Salesforce and Box. No servers. No big computer to plug into to network our team together.

So what?

We can do anything, anywhere, anytime with our iPhones, iPads & MacBooks. We are not anchored to a physical location or weighed down by a briefcase and files. Go to court on any given day, and you’ll see what we mean.

We carry our office with us. It makes us faster, smarter, stronger—better.

For the free

We take cost out of the equation. As we said at the get-go, if you want to hire a lawyer, we want to interview for the job.

We offer you a free consultation, if eligible. You can book an appointment 24/7 using our online calendar. If you do, you’ll also save 5% on the fee for representation if you hire us during the consultation.

So what?

Some other firms do that. But can you book the consultation online, or do you have to fill our a form and have to wait for someone to get back to you to schedule it? And what about the discount?

“Steve and his team went above and beyond on my case. Steve worked hard on my case to prove my innocence. He cares about his clients and not just about money. Steve is very ethical and respects his clients’ wishes and does everything he can to help them. I am extremely happy with my choice to use this law firm. I would recommend Steve and his firm to anyone looking for a criminal defense attorney.”

“I was falsely accused of Driving Under the Influence with Reckless Endangerment of my young son in the car. I was in jeopardy of losing custody of my only child. Thanks to Tim, this tragedy was avoided. …. He used his experience to 'splain the truth to the jury. With just the right balance of charm, mild indignation, logic, truth telling, humor, personal anecdotes, relationship building, …and so much more, Tim achieved success for me. He's worth every penny. ….”
