Attorney Shawn M. Curry was born and raised in the Lewistown area, PA. He graduated from Lewistown Area High School before attending Penn State University. Following graduation at Penn State, he returned to the Lewistown area and worked with a well-known, local attorney, the late-John "Rusty" Miller. During that time, he gained invaluable insight from his mentor and friend while also attending law school at Widener University School of Law in Harrisburg, PA. Since the end of his law school career to date, Attorney Curry has worked in the capital area with the Dauphin County Office of the District Attorney and a private, criminal defense firm before joining Colgan & Associates, LLC. During this time, he has appeared in cities and counties throughout the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, including the Lewistown area, obtaining extensive experience in defending and litigating criminal cases at the trial level.

Attorney Shawn Curry understands that mere accusations and the filing of assault charges can create both a stigma and a burden for those accused. He has an appreciation for the significant impact the penalties for an assault conviction can have on you and/or your family including, but not limited to, jail, probation, fines & costs, and even a loss of a job. For these reasons, Attorney Curry deals with the clients he represents on an individualized basis, as people, so he can understand what the various criminal implications may mean to you and your family in order to work towards a common goal to eliminate or minimize the consequences you face. He understands that, at the end of your case, you want to move on with your life. For that reason, he works to ensure your contact with the criminal justice system results in a speed bump as opposed to a road block in the rest of your life.
