My very first call to Francis was on a Saturday around noon, I figured he would call me back Monday morning but, he returned my call in 10 minutes. I can’t say enough good things about him and AJ only that I could not have picked a better attorney or person to help us conquer a literal Goliath! God bless you. Jose Fernandez

Rich was amazing! I had gotten a DUI, just about the dumbest mistake I could have ever made. Rich was honest with me from the gate. He was very informative and kind while dealing with me and my case. He walked me through the entire process calming my nerves the entire time. Always answered my calls, texts, and emails. He was friendly and professional. He got me a great deal, and after was able to have the case sealed. I can not thank him enough for everything he did for me! Would definitely recommend, he is the go to guy in Delco!

Rich was great. He explained everything clearly. He told me from the beginning he could not promise me anything, but he would use every option possible to keep me out of jail. We ended doing an open plea and Rich spoke on behalf about who I was, and why I did not deserve jail. The Judge listen and agreed with Rich. I am very thankful for everything he did for me.

Rich never believed in me… I wasn’t a felon before he made me sign a deal that I didn’t want to.. now he made me sign a deal for 21 to 58 months and I wasn’t on probation and I got a drug dealing charge without selling it to a C.I .! I believe that I would have probably received a better deal with a public defender than with him . He charged me 8,500 to go up state anyway. I am an addict, NOT A DRUG DEALER! Not to mention I’m a single father to my 12 yr old daughter her whole life! Which now I have to leave to be with family. I needed rehabilitation NOT incarceration!!!

Early 2019 Amanda didn’t offer to meet her new client(me) before the case, didn’t contact me before that morning, showed up for my hearing late, did not introduce herself, was completely unprepared, and seemed lost during the case being heard in front of the judge, responses seemed uneducated. Still waiting for the return of my retainer ???

Kevin and his Associates namely Patrick were amazing to work with and a God send to us I. Our time of need. They especially had to work even harder during Covid 19 to make a safe way to put our troubles to a smooth and safe finish. They were caring and understanding to our personal situation in the health and well being of our son who was hit by a car. The monies they were able to retrieve are so important to our son’s new normal, new beginning. He was able to rectify medical bills as well and help us to find a way to put his monies in safe keeping of a special needs trust so he had safe access to his funds for his needs, while maintaining his forever life changing needs that will be met by assistance now and long after his monies run out. This recommendation was priceless. They are truly experienced professionals that never give up, and then theses recent uncertain times of COVID-19 they really pulled through! We are most fortunate that our son’s life was spared, but their help to give him back his life will never be forgotten! Thank you Kevin and Patrick and the rest of your team!

My daughter was in a car accident. A family member told us about Kevin. He had helped them . I called his office. His staff was professional and caring .I asked for a family meeting. Due to the accident we did not have a car. We were going to take public transportation. When Kevin called to set up the meeting I told him we would all have to take public transportation. He said he would come to our house. He did. He was so caring. He got the job done. And the final financial settlement , will help my daughter the rest of her life. Thank you Kevin!

Patrick called me and wanted to represent me in my worker’s compensation case. He said I had a great case. Most of the work wAs done by Laura, his associate. She wears very nice. The first inkling that he was lacking was that he forgot to obtain a court reporter for my deposition with the insurance company’s lawyer. Mr Hickey sent me to a “pill mill” for treatment and therapy for a rotator cuff tear. Medical care was poor and caused my pain to increase due to their failure to diagnose a compression fracture in my thoracic spine. After 6 months Mr. Hickey said we had to settle and the most he could get me was $10,000.

Peter and Nicole are a pleasure to speak with. Kind and very Down to Earth. I had the honor of hiring Peter for a difficult divorce issue i was going through. After hearing the issue and my case, Peter assured me no worries ill take care of it and as sure as im sitting here 3 weeks later final decree was issued and no longer married to a difficult person. Thanks to Peter Manaras for his timely responses and professionalism. Would most def use this firm again for any other legal issues that may occur. I have already passed on his card to several friends for consultation and hopefully retaining his services. AWESOMENESS!!!!!

We hired Pete Manaras, Esq. on a recommendation at a time when help was very much needed in an area in which we had no experience. Their timely, prompt and efficient response was so welcome from our first phone call at a very bad time to the last with a positive outcome. The firm's paralegal, Nicole, could not have been more helpful, pleasant and responsive throughout our ordeal. They helped tremendously during a very scary time for our family with a successful outcome. I cannot say thank you enough.

The outcome was what I wanted and I have Pete to thank for that. It was comforting knowing that I could call and speak to his paralegal who knew exactly what was going on in my case at all times. I would highly recommend Pete to anyone needing any type of legal assistance.

After dealing with multiple attorneys, I found that she is exactly the kind of attorney that is best for parents like myself in difficult custody situations. She stays focused on the goal while also being aware of how the system works and how to stay grounded. She sees the whole picture and brings years of experience to her work. She works tirelessly for her clients and has great wisdom, and you can trust her. I highly recommend her!

Deborah represented me in an adoption case. She was absolutely horrible. Saying she was unresponsive was an understatement. She went a year without one response. She took thousands of dollars and accomplished absolutely nothing. We were only able to recoup a minimal amount. It was highway robbery. Mostly, she simply did not know what she was doing. When I hired a new attorney, things went smoothly and we were able to complete the adoption. Unfortunately, the cost was much more than it should have been. Please spare yourself and look elsewhere.

We knew nothing when our parents died within 5 months of each other. My friend recommended Joan because she had helped her family. I am so pleased she did. Her fee was a percentage of the estate or an hourly rate. The choice was mine. As executor and not a resident of PA I had no idea what to file or what to advertise. I could do as much or as little as I wanted Joan would fill in the gaps. I could handle the bookkeeping but not how it got together for the estate. Joan consulted with an accountant which we could hire or not. My parents never shared ANY of their finances with us. What I thought was a simple estate turned into to a mystery tour thru the unknown and soon discovered sources, this included a broker, no estate planning, at least 5 banks , a real mess. Joan guided me thru everything and took the reins when needed. I am so glad she was there and she has become a friend. Now getting her to send us a bill was another story. I still don't think she charged us enough for the lawyer stuff and the medation between the siblings and spouses. The assets have been sold and equally distributed, so we are done soon. Parents in urned together in Arlington National. Tax returns filed for State and Federal,we hired her accountant and were very pleased the estate even paid for the beneficiaries tax obligations to be prepared. I am very pleased with everything . I will soon be moving back to PA and will be doing some legal work with Joan and our accountant Steve.

Katherine guided me through a long drawn out divorce (over 2 years), involving two children. She was absolutely both Professional & Pleasant the entire time. The only reason I gave her 4 stars and not 5 is; at times I felt she could of been more proactive at touching base, and letting me know where we stood. But to be fair that probably would of eaten away my retainer much faster. Yes i have recommended Katherine to others and will continue to do so base don my experience

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

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.
