I hired Ms. Frankmar to file a court in order to have a delayed birth certificate created for my grandmother for dual citizenship purposes.
She responded promptly to my initial email and was extremely communicative throughout the entire process.
She knew exactly what to do. She went out of her way and dealt with a jurisdiction that was far away from her office. She gave me exact instructions in terms of what to fill out and was honest about the likelihood of the court order succeeding (the likelihood was high).
She had absolutely no problem meeting (and exceeding) my expectations. She went above and beyond for me and I would hire her again in a heartbeat!
I strongly recommend Ms. Frankmar for any Pennsylvania vital records-related court filings. I certainly have recommended her to multiple people already and they have all been satisfied.

Ms. Frankmar inherited my case about 3/4 into what seemed like a forever ongoing divorce process. After a brief conversation with with her to make sure Ms. Frankmar had all the facts and supporting documents to work with, my case was completely finished within 6 months. Pernille is very punctual, detail oriented, and an excellent communicator, who returns calls or replies to emails within hours. She provides you with all possible scenarios, whether good or bad, but most of all she tells it like it is without sugar coating it.
Ms. Frankmar comes highly recommended.

Perhaps the thing that impressed me most about Pernille was nothing was "sugar coated". She was very straight forward and told me what to expect each step of the way. I could speak my mind to her but, no matter how upset I was about the situation she always presented the facts of what was going to happen. Going thru the separation and divorce from start to finish, Pernille kept me informed of each step and what the options were and what the risks were. There were no empty promises made just to keep me happy. When calling the office, Pernille took the phone call when she was available and if she was unavailable there was a return phone call usually within a few hours. Perhaps the best thing I can say is that I really felt Pernille was on my side and knew what battles we should fight and what we should concede during the divorce. Divorce can be very emotional at times for the parties involved and Pernille really helped me keep things in perspective with her straight forward approach. Without a doubt, I would reccomend Pernille Frankmar for one's legal needs.

I had the pleasure of working with Vitti Law Group, and I couldn’t be more impressed with its level of service and expertise. From the intake consultation to the final resolution of my case, they demonstrated exceptional professionalism and dedication.
Lois was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to thoroughly explain every aspect of the legal process, ensuring I was informed and comfortable with each step. Nicole made sure that everything was done correctly and by law.
Communication was always clear and prompt, and I felt genuinely supported throughout the process. Their commitment to my case exceeded my expectations, and I truly appreciate their hard work and personal touch.
I highly recommend Vitti Law Group for reliable and skilled legal representation. They made a challenging situation much easier to navigate, and I am grateful for their exceptional service.

I had a wonderful experience with Devin. It's generally overwhelming to find yourself in need of a lawyer for whatever circumstances, and Devin was friendly, pleasant and very helpful in guiding me through the tangled webs. She took the time to explain everything in detail and tell me when I'm thinking too much into something or correct me when the laws don't follow what seems like common sense. I also appreciated that when I called or emailed, Devin would respond herself, and as promptly as she could. I would gladly recommend Devin.

Hallett Snyder Law helped my dad rewrite his will after Mom passed, and then assisted with the execution of the estate after Dad passed. Professional and clear; we needed to meet in person only twice (I live out of state); Hallett Snyder Law conducted 100% of all legal matters with the court and every other part of the estate that I as executor needed assistance on; all of this during COVID.

We found ourselves in a place of needing professional help for a very timely and sensitive matter. We called Hallett Snyder Law and they immediately began helping us through a process. They were there day or night for anything we needed. They gave great advice and worked very hard for our family. We could not have asked for a better service or better outcome. We highly recommend them to be your first call!

Devin is thoroughly professional and a genuinely nice person. I wanted my will updated at the beginning of the pandemic, just in case. She took care of every end of life and estate planning issue, and did it in a manner that was comforting and beautifully explained in everyday language. She even came to my home so that I could sign the papers. She is always happy to answer questions over the phone and feels like a trusted family friend. I highly recommend her.

I don’t normally write reviews, but feel I need to with regards to the outstanding legal services provided by him. I was confused and overwhelmed with my late husband’s estate attorneys. Through it all, Bob’s legal skills and his sense of right and wrong guided me through the entire process. Bob’s ability to empathize with me on my legal issues, reassured me the outcome would be favorable. His tenacity in fighting for me and my legal claims was unprecedented. I can’t thank him enough.

Bob Cooper was a tremendous help when my father and step-mother passed away. The two estates were messy but Bob understood the documents right away and guided us to the best resolution. He is unique among the attorneys I have worked with in that he actually listens. He helped to plan a strategy that got us through a mire of paperwork - and to a better outcome.
He also differed from most attorneys in that he was so accessible. He was willing to meet or teleconference after hours and always returned my phone calls the same day. I want Bob on my side in any legal matter.

Hired to settle a very simple Estate. We did most of the work. The bill we received was heavily padded using excessive hours and an unreasonable hourly rate for very little services rendered. Did not perform and overbilled. Not very nice.

When I started interviewing attorneys to do my will, I was put off by all of them. Then, a friend mentioned that Meg had done a wonderful job handling her father's estate. On my friend's recommendation, I set a meeting with Meg. She clearly knows her stuff but is not condescending or difficult to talk to. Talking about a will can be really uncomfortable, but Meg made the whole process straightforward and easy. I knew right away that I could trust her with my personal information. If you have been avoiding talking to a lawyer about a will, I highly recommend that you make a quick appointment with Meg.

Amazing attention to detail and clear communication! I was represented by Sadie Marak in the case of my divorce which took over two years to process. Sadie demonstrated a thorough understanding of the law and made the right choices through a lot of twists and turns; knowing when to compromise and when to hold her ground. Sadie never gave me the impression that she had other priorities, although I'm sure she had many clients and cases. Each time I had questions, concerns, or feedback I was able to reach Sadie by phone, email, or text within a matter of days which I really appreciated. In the end, I was very satisfied with how the case resolved and would absolutely recommend her for representation.
