Andrew
In 2012, I joined George to found LaMarche Safranko Law. We did so after having worked together on several cases.

George
We, together, have a consistent theme of how we represent clients. And it all starts with communication, personal attention, and trust.

Andrew
We represent people that are going through a very tough time in their life. Either they’ve been injured, accused or charged with a crime, or under investigation with respect to their license and livelihood.

George
What makes us qualified for the cases that we take on are the more than 20 years of experience we have in representing thousands of clients who have gone through very difficult times in their lives, either a personal injury case, a criminal case, or a professional discipline case.

Andrew
Our goals for the client is to provide the best possible outcome and that can be many different things. In a personal injury case that can be obtaining a settlement. In a criminal case it can be involving a plea bargain. But I think our clients need to know when they come in the door that we are there for the fight, we are there to the end, and we take on every case expecting that it’s gonna go to a trial. If it resolves before and that’s at the best interest of the client, then that’s great, but our clients need to know that we have the experience, we have the dedication, and we have the determination to take a case from the beginning to the end.

George
We are blessed to have a pretty amazing team, which includes wonderful paralegals, a nurse attorney, a former prosecutor, and two partners who have known each other for over 20 years, who have worked together for over 10 years, and have worked with thousands of clients.

Andrew
Our roles are varying. Sometimes it’s counselor, sometimes it’s friend, sometimes it’s advocate, sometimes it’s cheerleader. A lot of what we do is dealing with people going through very difficult situations, and we work together with other professionals to make sure someone is getting the potential help they need and working with them to get the best potential outcome.

George
LaMarche Safranko Law is a good choice for anyone who is facing a criminal charge, has suffered an injury because of someone else’s negligence, or is facing an allegation of professional discipline for many reasons…we communicate with our clients, we listen to our clients, we understand the story we need to tell to passionately advocate for our clients. And we’re driven to make sure that the outcome in the case is a successful one.

Lily was absolutely incredible. She stayed on top of my case. She kept me informed. She was very pleasant to deal with as well. I felt my case was important to her even though it was not a big case . I would certainly recommend Lily and if I ever need any legal work done again I will be contacting Lily first.

I recently had to seek out legal help after finding myself in an unfortunate situation. With a lot on the line as far as the impact it would have on my future going forward, I reached out to this law firm and I was given a call back from Jennifer McCanney. What I came to quickly realize was that I was in great hands. Throughout my legal process, Jennifer was trustworthy, honest, kind, diligent and even if I was just stressed out, she was a calm voice of reason and reassurance . Even as extra challenges were thrown our way, Jennifer didn’t miss a beat and her calm professional approach to giving me the best outcome possible did not waiver. Although I am hoping to never need a lawyer again, I would not hesitate to choose anyone other than Jennifer. I will always be grateful for the work and care that Jennifer put in to help me out when I needed it most. I strongly recommend Jennifer McCanny to anyone. Thank you again Jennifer.
