Joshua is the best attorney around he really listens and makes you feel seen. He goes out of his way to help with the situation. He took a lot of time to make sure that everything that I stated was presented. He made me feel really comfortable during a really stressful time. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

"I’m so incredibly grateful with the representation provided by Penwell Bowman and Curran!! The entire staff is so welcoming, professional, and are all outstanding advocates. I’m especially grateful for my handling attorney, Randall Pajovich. Since day one he provided positive, hopeful and realistic assurances, regarding my case. Transitioning a family operated business into the 3rd generation ownership was complicated and at times extremely frustrating. Randall was not only consistent in his communication, but he took the time to provide options, his professional opinion, and guidance as to each step in my case. I cannot speak more highly of this ENTIRE FIRM and of course, Randall!!! I’m truly ecstatic about my transition and I highly recommend this firm." Chris Moore President Thermotech, Inc.

Today was a day I was both dreading, but also looking forward to as I had to appear for a preliminary hearing regarding an accidental discharge of a firearm that resulted in the projectile passing through the wall of my dwelling and into the adjacent one. I say dreading because of the implications it would have on both my life and career. Conversely I was looking forward to it because I had attorney Alan Ross in my corner defending me. I cannot say enough about how professional Alan was in how he presented himself and my case during the hearing, and the amount of time and effort that he took to prepare for it. In the end, his thorough research of case law, legal statutes, and presiding opinion, and presentation of such before the district justice was impressive. He was prepared for, and countered the opposing arguments of the district attorney and ended up swaying the judge in our favor to dismiss the case on all counts. I cannot thank Alan enough for all the hard work, and compassion he showed towards both my case and myself, prior to and including today’s hearing . While I hope to never have to retain his services again, should the need arise he will always be the one I look to engage on my behalf, and if anyone is out there reading this because they are seeking outstanding service and representation, I highly encourage you to call him.

Shawn is a great attorney I was facing 2 years minimum for charges I didn't commit. He was available anytime I had questions, responding to them promptly. Shawb is undoubtedly professional and competent. I took a plea deal to a misdemeanor in a case that started with felony and 2 misdemeanors. But honestly if the legal system wasn't such a hassle I believe whole heartedly that he would have got the charges thrown out entirely.

Tracy represented me in my Chapter 13 Bankruptcy back in 2016. I was 28 and going through a very tough time. I was in the middle of a messy divorce, trying to get my life back together and on top of that my (now) wife and I had just lost our daughter to a heart defect. Tracy walked me through the entire process with ease. She explained everything and ensured me that everything would be ok. I trusted her and she was absolutely right. Anytime I had a question about the case or just in general, she would reply within minutes NO MATTER WHAT TIME OF DAY. I think her ability as a lawyer as well as her compassion for her clients make her an above average choice in representation. More recently my wife and I are in the process of building a home (summer 2021). I am running into issues when it comes to underwriting. I had a foreclosure within my bankruptcy and I had to prove such facts. Long story short, Tracy is one of the reasons that my wife and I's mortgage ultimately got pushed forward in the review process. I haven't paid Tracy a cent in years, but she sill stuck up for me. She forwarded many documents to my broker showing that my information was correct. Again, the communication with her was in the evening and even on the weekends. She is so helpful! I couldn't have picked a better lawyer to help me through one of the toughest times in my life.

This lawyer....I just can't say enough about! Going bankrupt is not an easy decision, and by any means should always be the last resort. When it is the ONLY thing you can do, Look NO FURTHER than Tracy Updike! I already felt horrible over my predicament, and had been in contact with a overly popular bankruptcy company. It had gone as far as actually having an assigned lawyer. But I needed someone to help me access what was best for me, to be there to answer questions that were not so black & white, but pertained to my case, and situation. To help me see the big picture. I received anything but this with that other lawyer, who he and the company made no pretense to make me feel like a number. That's ALL they saw, a number that said dollar signs. I'm convinced in my heart had I gone with them, I would regret it now. When I would call ready to give money someone would pick up in 3 seconds...now call with a question....call wanting advice...yeah have a good time with that..... 3 times I called to give a check to hold, and 3 times I called back to cancel. After searching and searching the internet for someone who would just answer my questions, I...FOUND...TRACY! When I called, SHE answered. I quickly told her my story through tears, among this that I was broke, she didn't hang up on me or tell me she couldn't help. She had me to make an apt. And you see how on this site it says free 60 min. consultation? Yeah this compassionate woman met with me for about an hour and 1/2- 2 hours!!! And I hadn't hired her yet! She answered all of my questions, and needless to say I walked in still feeling like a low number, but when I walked out. I was a HUMAN BEING! My life was not over, this is NOT the worse thing that could happen. There is life after bankruptcy! And a lawyer can be compassionate, kind, very knowledgeable, and treat you with dignity. I knew leaving there that if it was my decision, I didn't have to look any further. That WILL be your experience with Tracy! Once I emailed her a question very late at night so I never expected her to answer. I kept forgetting to email her through the day, so only sent it at that time to make sure I got it out the way. To my shock, she emailed me right back that late!!! She never left me hanging. If she didn't get back to me immediately, she always does in a timely manner. She will honest with you and tell it like it is, but she will be there with you AND for you! And top it off I paid $500 less than that other bogus company was charging. When bankruptcy is the ONLY decision, Look no further folks!!!

He was very knowledgeable about the whole process, quick to return my calls, and/or emails with any questions I had, and was always very kind.

I hired Esquire Kaminsky to assist with my Worker's Compensation case in January of 2017. I was impressed with his quick response to my inquiry for guidance in helping me to determine whether I had a case to pursue. After our first telephone contact, Attorney Kaminsky was understanding and patient when I requested to meet him face-to-face to clarify some of the information before I retained him as my counsel. After that initial meeting, it was evident that Matt was dedicated to advocating for me and my rights as a worker injured on the job. He was open and honest from the beginning and this immediately put me and my husband at ease. Throughout my case, Matt was prompt to return calls and kept me abreast of any filings or procedures that needed to be completed. My case was settled in less than 10 months with a settlement that reflected his hard work and dedication to my individual situation. Thanks Matt and your team for working for my rights.

If you are facing any severe criminal charges ANYWHERE in the state of Pennsylvania Terrence McGowan and Sarah Lockwood are the lawyers you want. There are levels when it comes to lawyers and trust me, they are at the top of the pyramid. Not only did they get my case DISMISSED, I actually enjoyed going to court just to watch Terrence with his 30+ years of experience in action. I called a dozen lawyers before contacting Terrence and I knew within the first 5 minutes of speaking with him that his mental aptitude was so far beyond any other lawyer I had spoken with.

We didn't have the cash on hand to retain her services, so she kindly allowed us to pay on a contingency basis, where we would only have to pay her in full once the case was won. Lisa always kept us updated and answered our questions in a very timely manner, and she was a strong and confident advocate. She took on 7 corporate big-shot lawyers and beat them hands down, so effectively that they settled out of court at our very first meeting! There was minimal time lost in putting together the case, and we got a much higher settlement than we had expected. We would highly recommend Lisa to anyone with a valid case to lodge against a large and seemingly impervious company or public entity. Lisa cuts the giants down to size and protects the little guy!

I could not have asked for a better attorney then Attorney Matukaitis. I had a contract and was discharged prior to my contract expiring. Attorney Matukaitis helped me understand my rights and what could be done. She made me feel comfortable and at ease, though the whole process, Attorney Matukaitis and her staff were always keeping me updated and informed on everything going on with my case. They resolved my case quickly and got me a fair settlement within a very short time. Attorney Matukaitis is very compassionate with her work and clients, she actually listens to you and your concerns. If I would ever need help with an employment issue (which I hope not too) I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone in need of help with employment issues. She is a very strong and motivated person looking to help her client.

Mr. Shagin and his team were wonderful with me! During the first interview I saw in Mr. Shagin a competent lawyer with a clear vision. Communication with his team was easy and timely. In the past I have recommended him to a couple of friends and I am planning to use his services in the future.

I met with many lawyers before making an appointment with Craig Shagin and most of them stated that a positive outcome on my case was almost if not impossible. Mr. Shagin explained our limited amount of possibilities and we decided to put our trust on him after we notice his knowledge and professionalism on the immigration topic. Always providing support to me and my family, he moved on with the case without giving up at any point and due to his experience and skill, we ended up with the best possible outcome. My family and I will thank him for life.

When your child is hurt in an accident you don't know what to do.. Phones are ringing, insurance companies calling, and all you want to do is take care of your child and get them the care that they need. I didn't need to worry about how I was going to pay for all of this, and answer a million questions when I didn't even have all the answers yet myself. Mr Marzzacco quickly put me at ease, stopped all the phone calls and let me take care of my daughter! He handled everything but always kept me updated on her case and how we needed to proceed. He was kind and dedicated. Anytime I have a question, I quickly got a response from him or his wonderful staff. I really can't say enough about my experience because they were there during the worst year of our lives, and did his part to get my daughter what she deserved. I would never use another Lawyer and would recommend him to everyone and anyone I know. Thank you for Everything!

I was facing a DUI w/crash in Dauphin County. Mr. Lysaght explained what I should do proactively to minimize any penalties. I refused the breath test and is not my first one. When it was all said and done, I ended up with a month of house arrest. He truly saved my job/home/family ! Stephanie is great to work with, as well. Thank you, sincerely !

This guy is awesome!! Unfortunately, I needed his services for my underage daughter's DUI. Found him to be very easy to deal with. Explains things very clearly in layman’s terms, knows the law and is very responsive. Kept us informed (even after he was paid). Hopefully I don't need his service again but if I found myself or my family in another situation where I needed a "hired gun" to go to bat I wouldn't hesitate to call Mr. Maffett.

I can't speak highly enough of Chris' skills and the experience we had working with him on a complex administrative appeal. Chris demonstrated exceptional attention to detail and to critically analyzing the facts of the case to build persuasive testimony. He was extremely sensitive to the regulatory climate and to the importance of maintaining relationships with state agencies through the process. Chris' ability to be both a strategic thinker and quick responder makes him well suited to handle cases of all types. Above all else, he is a team player, unequivocally committed to excellence in his work and a tremendous asset to his clients.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
