The Best Lawyer in Dauphin County
This Dorward Law Firm is the best law firm in Dauphin County; it’s not even close. Mr. Shawn Dorward is the best in the business. I had a DUI I was facing, and to make matters worse, I also was a truck driver, so my CDL was at stake. He assured me we’d fight, and he did more than that. He was relentless throughout the process, keeping me updated every time something came up, and I would never hesitate a bit to refer him to anyone who has a DUI because of his commitment to doing what he loves to do, and that’s to fight for his clients and make sure you get the best results possible. I’m thankful someone referred me to him, and I was able to keep my CDL. I can’t thank him enough. Peace and love to the best lawyer in Dauphin County.

Yet He Did.
In 2019 I was being charged with a DUI so I obtained Shawn Dorward as my attorney. I was given a bail provision; I couldn't drink alcohol until following all court proceedings. Prior to anything being worked out with the courts on this DUI, I was being charged with yet another DUI... yes, 2 DUI charges within 2 months of each other. The court then mandated random drug/alcohol testing, in which I failed the very 1st test. I put Shawn in a position he couldn't possibly win for me... yet he did. Thanks to you, Shawn!!!!

Shawn is great at his job
I hired him for a DUI case and he was able to help me understand everything I needed and helped get my case handled. Shawn is great at his job with plenty of years of experience. I highly recommend at least giving him a call and hearing him out.

Shawn goes above and beyond!
Shawn goes above and beyond for his clients! When I reached out to Shawn’s law firm, I was at my wits' end and feeling stuck between a rock and a hard place. It had been nearly 3 years since being arrested for my first DUI (general impairment) and the DA/courts were making it difficult to be accepted into the ARD program even though I had completed all requirements. I met with Shawn to discuss my case further and knew immediately that I chose the best attorney to represent me. He appeared to be motivated and confident that he would handle my legal situation. He communicated and kept me in the loop every step of the way. Lastly, he definitely got the job done. My case finally concluded 3/1/23 and I am very pleased with the outcome. Shawn’s services exceeded my expectations and for that, I would highly recommend him and his firm to anyone. Thank you again, Mr. Dorward.

Shawn is a savior
Shawn is one of the best attorneys in the area. He is a savior. Great communication skills, he is always ready to answer your questions in any way. 'Thank you' is not just enough. I recommend everyone, guys, if you’re charged with DUI/DWI, and if you have Shawn, you don’t have to worry. He works very hard to get things settled. I wish I could give him more than 5 stars but can’t. Thank you tons, Shawn, thank you very much!
