Where to begin?! In June of 2019 I was placed in a very scary legal situation during my professional career. I reached out to Attorney Mark Sherman and his team to help fight for me and get me through. Both Attorney Mark Sherman and Attorney Amanda Telesco were nothing but phenomenal. From the moment I called the office I felt at ease. They were kind, compassionate, understanding, non-judge mental, and most of all realistic. I made several trips to the office in Stamford. All of these trips were welcoming and helped put me at ease. Mark and Amanda sat with me, went over all the details of the case, explained everything to me, and assured me they would do everything in their power to fight for a positive outcome. As we all know, the legal system is slow. But during the 16+months I worked with Mark and Amanda, they kept me abreast of the entire case and the direction it was moving. I received phone calls, emails and at one point they even met with me in my area of the state. In September of 2020 I received the call that I had long awaited. Attorney Sherman called me and informed they fought hard and the case resolved in the manner we had hoped for. In an instant, my whole life changed for the better and I felt like my old self. So many times I felt like giving up and giving in. Attorney Sherman encouraged me to stay the course and let he and Attorney Telesco do what they do best. I am sure glad I listened! Without their hard work, compassion, knowledge and experience, I wouldn’t have received the positive outcome I knew should come! I am forever grateful to Attorneys Mark Sherman and Amanda Telesco. If you are faced with a legal or DCF dilemma, I STRONGLY encourage you to call Attorney Sherman’s office.

Mr. Lepore is the definition of an excellent lawyer. My father passed away in 2019. My cousin, a local lawyer, who drafted my father's will, claimed he didn't remember he made it. Faced with obstruction, I did my research and found that Mr. Lepore is highly rated. I was not disappointed. The process was needlessly long because of my cousin's lack of cooperation, and delayed because of the Covid-19 crisis, however, I was armed to the teeth in proof and with Mr. Lepore's dedication, knowledge and skill we were able to honor my father's final wishes and have the Probate Court rule in my favor as my father's only child, executor and beneficiary. I recommend Louis Lepore wholeheartedly. A quiet man, he has a keen analytical mind and a determined sense of dedication. I will be making an appointment soon to make my own will and estate planning.

Louis Lepore helped my parents and I in creating family trusts, Powers of attorney and wills and obtaining Medicaid benefits for my Mother and Father. He explained all the options available to my family in a clear and concise manner, and has always been available to answer any questions. He is highly professional, and his knowledge of the law is excellent. I recommend him without hesitation.

We hired Barry at the recommendation of his colleague for the sale of our home, and so happy we did. Barry was not only professional, but went above and beyond every step of the way. The buyers and their realtor were extremely difficult throughout the process, and at one point we were ready to NOT sell the home. Barry stood his ground, acting in our best interest from the start of the process to the closing. Truly exception - he got us to the finish line!! Thank you Barry!

To say that Mr. DiOrio is a gentleman attorney of impeccable integrity would be the understatement of all time. I have known Bob for a lifetime and never once has he not had time for me or failed to settle my fears & apprehensions. The performance and professionalism of his staff is equally as impressive. He is a straight shooter and will not lead you to believe he can always win your case but he will never stop trying. He has handled all of my business & personal affairs diligently.

I turned to Bob DiOrio to help me through a very emotionally charged custody relocation case, and Bob represented our family interests in both a professional and personal manner. Over the past year plus timeframe, Bob's expertise and counsel enabled us to win our long awaited trial, stave off an attempted emergency stay, and finally hold off the appeal of that emergency stay. Ultimately, the appeal of the case trial submitted to the Superior Court was withdrawn by my children's father. I cannot sufficiently express my gratitude for the knowledge, patience, calming demeanor and rigor of Bob's representation. I highly recommend Bob to anyone who needs help in protecting the sanctimony of family and providing for the best interests of your children. Bob, I am indebted to you and thank you again for being a pilar of strength and reason during this very difficult experience. I appreciate your advice and approach, and respect you a great deal. Thank you on behalf of myself and our entire family.

I had an impossible case where I lost terribly every time I went to court. Eventually I would run out of money and then I would have to represent myself until I had enough money to get another lawyer. This went on for 10 years. Finally I met someone who was friends with one of the most powerful lawyers in Philadelphia. Through him, I was referred to Robert DiOrio. When I went into Mr. DiOrio's office, I could not see my children at all. I was only allowed to speak to them on a speaker phone with my ex-husband listening. This went on for about a year. He had gotten an Emergency Custody Petition that was granted without a hearing. He had used this tactic a total of four times and the order of his choice was signed every time without a hearing. I had been a full time mother with small children. I never guessed that I would lose my children when attempted to escape my abusive marriage. Later I found out the 94 percent of women who leave their abusive husbands lose custody and most of them are given supervised visitation. When Robert DiOrio heard about my case and saw the court order, he was outraged. He took my case to court and I got custody of my children. I went from nothing to everything. Lawyers in the past told me the best I could ever get was joint because you can't go from nothing to everything. Robert DiOrio did and he won. Since that time, we were in court again and Robert Diorio won an even greater victory. I respect him and am so grateful for the time I now have with my children. I never want another lawyer.

Although we are still in the process and the matter of my divorce is not finalized, I cannot say enough about the practice of Berman Voss as well as my personal attorney, Priscilla Natale. The communication and attention to detail to keep everyone up to date is above and beyond. The practice is transparent with fees and very itemized, allowing for planning and preparation with regards to payments. Should you need an attorney or a practice that truly cares about their clients and does nothing short of properly representing the client's best interest, this is it!

I followed Priscilla to this law firm because she proved she cared about her clients . She listened to my reasons for divorce, why I wished to have absolutely no contact with my ex and assured me she would take care of the process. And she did! She offered expert advice about property division, but left the final decision to me. She and her team were very responsive when I had questions. The best experience with legal professionals I've ever had.

Mark simplified a complex matter for me. He was willing to take a few minutes to review a legal document I was served with and spent another few minutes on the phone with me discussing it. He cut through a confusing document, drawing my attention to areas of the document I didn't realize I should be concerned about while alleviating my concerns about some of the major concerns I had. Mark came across as extremely knowledgeable in the area of estate law while conveying information in a friendly way that was easy for me as an average person to understand. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for assistance in estate law.

It had been well over 2 yrs since the death of my mother and no settlement was made. Granted Covid delayed it about 6 months but PA Dept of Rev approved everything in Sept 2020. I posted my concern here in mid May and Attorney Coulter answered in an intelligent and meaningful way which made me feel I would be in safe hands to contact his office. (Previously contacted another probate atty who was extremely sub par and out of desperation decided to pose my concern to Avvo which thankfully lead me to Attorney Coulter). He immediately got results and a settlement statement was drawn the following week. The ‘opposing’ attorney did not answer my four calls in April nor did the executor answer my email requesting an update. Being from out of state and not having any contacts to guide me, I am truly grateful to Avvo and the attorneys who responded. But should you be in the same predicament with that feeling that you will never see your rightful inheritance, I urge you to contact Attorney Coulter. I received my disbursement this week so the entire process took about 40 days. Without Attorney Coulter, I truly believe I would not have received my inheritance, it was that bad.

I went into Jana's office on the first visit feeling nervous, unsure of what I was going to do, and knew NOTHING about the divorce process. I left her office with a plan and a better understanding of how the divorce and child support would work out. I knew without a doubt that she was the one that I needed to help me with my divorce. Throughout the entire divorce process she answered all my questions (and I had ALOT) and explained each step of the process so that I knew exactly what was going on. If I was feeling anxious about a situation that came about...a simple phone call to Jana put my mind at ease. Right from the start I told Jana that the children were the most important to me and she has ALWAYS kept their best interests a priority.

I trust my advisor with my money, so I certainly trust her to recommend an attorney. She did not let me down – I was very pleased with the work Debbie did for me, so much so that I asked her to draft a new will for me as well. I found that Debbie is very knowledgeable about the probate process and wills. She took her time and helped me understand every step of the process. She’s not a “pressure” type of person.

Debbie handled my best friends Last Will and Testament prior to her passing. She and her husband had recommended Debbie to me after the sudden unexpected passing of my Dad. I interviewed several other attorneys over the phone that seemed to be monetarily focused. I chose Debbie to represent my Dad's Estate due to her extreme compassion during an emotionally and stressful time. Although, a written Will was not created prior to his passing, he did express his wishes to many other family members. Unfortunately, his widow did not concur. Debbie explained the Texas probate process and each step involved in disputing an estate without a Will. She constantly side noted difficult legal verbiage to layman terms ensuring the understanding of my responsibilities. She was the perfect mediator for this extremely tense and sensitive situation. I always felt like I was her #1 client. She was even gracious enough to travel two hours away to attend hearings. Her remarkable service was at extremely fair rates. She met and exceeded all my goals and expectations – 10 out of 10! I continue to HIGHLY recommend her to all those in need of Probate, Wills, and Estate Planning.

Robert has been supporting our family through one of the biggest hardships our business has faced. While plagued with financial problems and a lot of stress, not even once did we question entrusting the future of our family’s financial well-being to Robert. The difficulties we faced were enormous, yet we felt Robert’s presence, consistent guidance and genuine concern every step of the way. We knew that Robert cared like no other. He always made sure we remained well-informed of every viable option leading us to the best solution tailored to to the uniqueness of our legal issue and its surrounding practical realities. Robert’s professionalism, thoroughness, quick turnaround of information, and prompt responses to all our inquiries have been unmatched. I am confident that a stellar attorney like Robert has many clients; however, Robert has an exceptional ability of making us feel like we were his sole client and greatest priority. Looking to resolve legal issues is an emotionally draining process. Through this process, it was very important for us to be sure that we had the best support possible and Robert skillfully delivered a top-tier support!

No legal issue is ever easy, but Robert made it as easy as humanly possible. He was an attentive, and considerate to my situation, I never doubted him for a second, and he got exactly what I needed done in the most timely manner possible. He communicates, and explains the specifics of the situation clearly so I always knew what was going on. He got my situation resolved without any stress on my part. I now have a lawyer that I trust and believe in and would trust with any issues for myself, my friends and my family. I strongly recommend Robert Loftus, for any of your legal needs.

Dara Goldsmith was recommended to me by another accomplished attourney. She was very helpful in helping me through the process of determining the best course of action regarding a family member’s will and trust. She provided me with very helpful information and expert advice. To top it off, after our call, she took the time to summarize her findings and suggestions in an email so that I could refer to it when discussing the situation with the beneficiaries. Dara really helped me sort out a challenging situation by providing facts and solid legal advice.

We met with Atty. Philip Sousa who explained to us the importance and advantages of creating a trust. We have talked with other trust attorneys before but when we met Atty. Sousa, we immediately trusted his knowledge and professionalism. He is friendly and courteous & was thorough in answering all our questions during meetings prior to the creation & signing of the trust 2 weeks later.

My mom wanted a will and trust created for her but she didn't know where to get started as far as finding an attorney to do the work. I'm a do-it-yourself kind of son, but for this I knew that wouldn't be wise because I didn't have any experience in such matters and I've learned the hard way about the hazards when overlooking details. On top of all that, I don't live in Los Angeles, so I had to ask around among attorneys in my professional network in my locale for a reference. KC's firm was offered up as a good place to give a first try. Well, I didn't need to go any further! Wow, KC is a great attorney and what a great team. The legal processes and requirements were laid out in a very logical fashion with plenty of time for questions from day one. The options were made clear and helpful recommendations and suggestions were offered. Everything about her is so very good. She was timely, courteous, patient, knowledgeable, and thorough. When she wasn't available for a question when I called without notice, a well-qualified team member provided the help I needed. They set a very high standard for the entire legal profession. We are very pleased customers.

KC got us started with our Estate Planning. What a great job she did! She knew exactly what information she needed to get from us and all the documents that were necessary. KC was thorough and prompt in preparing and getting the drafts to us. The final documents were done equally as well. All that and she's pleasant to work with! KC answered all of our questions in plain language and made sure we understood everything we were signing. We couldn't have asked for a better attorney for our Estate Planning.

      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
