Mr. LaMonica openly discussed our concerns, took them into consideration, made suggestions, and implemented the appropriate changes to our outdated documents. He was casual and friendly while remaining professional throughout the process. We were the last appointment of the day and he even went back to the closed office to look for our lost cell phone!

Attorney Howe is a thorough attorney; asking relevant questions and ensuring that I understood the legal process. He advised me into taking best course of action, the potential outcomes, and prepared me for each outcome. He helped through each phase of the divorce process. Any legal questions I had, he was able to answer in a way I could understand. He kept me informed of any changes. He also walked me through what could and did happen at the hearing. He was professional and patient as well as compassionate and kind.
He was well prepared and ready to help me put this behind me. His knowledge of the law and the court proceedings eased the process, as there were no surprises he was unprepared.
I highly recommend attorney Howe should you require legal representation.

I was absolutely terrified and blindsided when I received notice that, after the welfare department waived renewal requirements for Medicaid and SNAP benefits in 2020, due to the pandemic- I was being charged with welfare fraud (having not appropriately updated them in writing with my salary change).
I received a form letter about a month later, advertising Attorney Lehman’s experience. Having no idea where else to turn, I called her office. I was fairly skeptical, but after speaking with her, I hired her, based on her calm, matter-of-fact demeanor, and reassurance that she could handle this case.
Although I remained anxious- as we only communicated over the phone and through email a couple times before the preliminary hearing- she more than deserves a 5-star rating.
The result was that I needed to repay the overpayment that welfare had given me, which is completely understandable. But when I’d first been notified of the criminal charges, and offered to repay whatever I wasn’t entitled to, the investigator stated that this wasn’t an option.
It had seemed like a misunderstanding, that occurred during a worldwide emergency, would mean a permanent criminal record, and possibly prison. Attorney Lehman was able to negotiate a dismissal of charges altogether- which I doubt would have happened otherwise. She provided not only legal expertise, but the reassurance and competence throughout this ordeal that was invaluable.

I highly recommend Michael Kelly. I got a DUI for the first time and of course was scared out of my mind. Michael Kelly and the rest of the team eased my mind about the whole process. Definitely great customer service and professionalism. I am also very happy with the deal I got. If I ever (which I hope I don’t) get into any other trouble, Michael Kelly is the one I will call on. Thank you so much for everything!

Lori handled my divorce and I am blessed to have had such a caring and competent attorney. During my difficult time when I couldn't think clearly the one thing I was sure of was that she was going to fight for me and I would be ok. Her knowledge of the law never ceased to amaze me. She is incredible and will fight for you. Her confidence and professionalism is top notch. Lori answered all of my calls and emails quickly. Lori acted quickly in every aspect of my divorce. Moving forward I will consider her a friend. She treated me with respect and made me feel so relaxed during a terrible time in my life.

I hired Lori to handle my divorce. She gave me more information during my free consultation than any other attorney (of several I contacted.) Lori is very knowledgeable and has alot of experience; she knows the court system and has worked with many of the other attorneys. She is very professional and takes charge of the process especially when the other party is dragging their feet. She is focused at meetings and is very good at keeping all on task and getting things done. She provides information and her professional opinion , but always asked me what I wanted to do. She is very responsive to emails and phone calls and immediately shared communication from the other party with me so I always knew what was going on. She handles everything and guides you through the whole process and helps you achieve your
the best outcome. I highly recommend this attorney as she is proactive and keeps the process moving.

David was recommended by a friend of a friend of an acquaintance, but we didn’t know anyone in the area, so it was a bit of a leap of faith. I feel extremely fortunate we made that leap. What should have been a very straightforward residential real estate purchase ended up having multiple snags. Even when he was clearly as frustrated as we were, David was always a consummate professional. He earned every penny we paid him, and then some. I would wholeheartedly recommend him for any legal service.

I hired David Schwager at a time when I required some expedient assistance. My 92 year old aunt’s husband had died, and she was not capable of handling her own care or finances. This was further complicated by the fact I lived three states away and required some “boots on the ground”.
David jumped in with both feet when others wanted me to complete endless paperwork and schedule meetings. He assisted immediately with the Power of Attorney, Will preparation for her and settled her husband’s estate over a period of time.
He was always responsive to my needs and steered me in the proper direction when my layman’s inclination may have been incorrect.

With prior knowledge of what to expect from a medical and legal aspect, I was convinced from the start that I had made the right choice with Fellerman & Ciarimboli. Every question and aspect of my case was handled professionally and with compassion. Attorney Corey Suda handled everything and responded promptly to all messages. In addition, I could always tell that Greg and Ed were involved.
I'm very pleased I put my trust in this firm.

I hired Atty.Fellerman due to a motor vehicle accident I was involved in suffering several injuries. From the time of the accident, Atty Fellerman and his staff addressed all of my concerns and treated me with compassion and respect. They handled all of my insurance questions and made the process very understandable, taking away the stress of litigation so I could recover from my injuries. In the end, I was awarded a just settlement for the injuries I received due to the hard work and dedication of Atty Fellerman. If anyone is looking into hiring an Attorney that will dedicate his efforts to protecting your rights and treating you and your case with dedication and respect, I highly recommend Atty. Greg Fellerman.

Greg did an awesome job on our case. My wife and I were not expecting much to come from a personal injury case that happened to my wife after hearing feedback from a few other lawyers in town.... but after Greg took over....the results were quite impressive. Not only did the case end in our favor...we obtained the maximum settlement available. I have no doubt that without the help of Greg .this would not have happened. They may not be the largest firm in town...but they obtained superior results and I would highly recommend them

Matt Loftus is one of the most honest and trustworthy attorneys I have done business with. He is highly knowledgable in several areas and if he doesn't know the answer to one of my questions he finds one thru a colleague or by other means of measure. He always returns my calls or e-mails in a timely fashion(usually less than 24 hours) and is reasonable with his rates. He is one of the few attorneys in this area that actually cares about the results he brings to each case rather than how much money he can collect from you. -- Annie

I can’t say enough about Atty. Loftus. I’m a retired paralegal who has dealt with many lawyers, and can honestly say that a majority of them have issues with returning calls, overbilling, and being lax in handing cases. Expecting that I would have to deal with this when the need arose to hire an attorney for a personal legal matter that I couldn’t handle on my own, I was truly surprised to find that Atty. Loftus strived to be the exact opposite. He returned my calls in a timely manner, was straight up with me on how he intended to work on my case, and completed it with a favorable outcome. I received timely updates throughout my case, and he was also very reasonable with his attorney’s fees. I highly recommend him.

I had an issue with a tenant and an insurance company for my rental property. Mr. Wood reviewed my insurance policy and suggested several changes that gave me piece of mind. Without knowing the exact coverage I needed I could have been in a situation that could have cost me thousands of dollars. He also drafted a new lease specifically tailored to my property and my requests. I would highly recommed Mr. Wood's services to anyone looking to for an experienced attorney who knows the law.

Attorney Neil O'Donnell was assigned to me as the election-board solicitor in Luzerne County, PA in 2004. I'd worked with Atty. O'Donnell in my previous campaigns-and-elections experience, too. It was from 2004-2012, however, I came to know Atty. O'Donnell's work best.
From day one, Atty. O'Donnell had my back. And, let me tell you, in the election business, one's back becomes a pretty big space to defend - Neil always had it covered.
His understanding of the election laws of the Commonwealth, his passion for them and his courtroom skills never ceased to impress me. Moreover, he never wavered in his dedication to our cause, kept me well informed of our progress and always knew, very precisely, where our cases stood.
Aggressive when appropriate, Atty. O'Donnell can - and will if necessary - take the fight to the courtroom and he definatley delivers results.
Widely respected, Atty. O'Donnell is true professional who is rather candid, and yet, exceptionally modest.
Whether you consider Attorney Neil O'Donnell for your election-law needs or your personal-injury claim, be assured, he will be there with you shoulder-to-shoulder, every step of the way, with one thing on his mind - adjudication in your favor.
I not only want to recommend Neil and his work in this forum - I also wish to personally thank him for it.

He has earned the respect of all we encountered including Lawyers, Judges, the Medical field and my entire family and friends. He is a master of what he does and clearly loves what he does. He is successful, kind, a great family man and the best at research and his presentations are stellar. Neil is very earnest and honest. I am also in awe of his practice of giving back to the community and faith in God. I will remain forever grateful that he put his touch on my life and case. You won't find anyone better.

I was in a very tramatic auto accident where I sustained injuries that required surgery. On top of bodily injury my car was totaled and, I developed a fear of driving and riding in a motor vehicle. It took months to recover and return to work. I contacted Peter Biscontini to handle my case. He immediately got to work investigating the accident. He contacted me whenever he had questions or needed documentation to assist in the case. He came and, visited me at my home and brought paperwork I needed to review and sign.
In spite of the nature of our meeting; overall my experience with Peter was very pleasant. He did what needed to be done to make sure I was awarded enough to cover not only medical expenses, cost of new vehicle but, also pain and suffering. If ever I needed or someone I know would need services related to this type of case I would highly recommend Mr. Peter Justin Biscontini and, be confident that they also would be pleased with the service he will provide.

I was referred to junker and Shotto by a existing law firm that I was using in Scranton at the time Mike Shotto was asked to help on my case in an attempt to straighten out the legal mess that I had gotten into with moving from the area. Before the custody hearing was heard when I relocated back to Oklahoma my ex has been on very amicable terms and was Allowing me to leave the state with the children he later objected. The petitions were not file correctly from another law firm. Mike jumped in and busted his butt to fix all the mistakes.
