Without going into as much detail as Steve, my story is very similar. I am a teacher and risked my livelihood if I had been found guilty of the unfair charges lobbed against me (my licenses would have been revoked). One lawyer after another painted a bleak outlook. In hindsight, I am so grateful for Mr. Mincey's assistance. I was one of the lucky ones several lawyers said to me after I told them how my case ended. The chances that they would have been able to achieve the same results were slim, I learned later.

My name is Steve Brantley Spence, I am a financial advisor and I live in the state of Virginia. A weekend trip to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania changed my life forever last January 9th, 2014. Virginia is an open carry commonwealth state and I was foolish enough in my thought process and I figured Pennsylvania's laws would overlap with Virginia. I was wrong and I traveled into the city limits of Philadelphia with my 9mm handgun on the floor of my passenger seat. In the state of Virginia in order to conceal a gun you must have a permit to do so, therefore I had my gun out in the open because I did not want to break the law by having it concealed in anyway. When I arrived in Philadelphia I was involved in a small car accident. The other driver and I waited for the police to arrive and after they arrived I was arrested for not having a permit to carry in the city of Philadelphia. I was completely shocked and in disbelief that I was going to jail for a simple mistake and not knowing the law. I did not resist arrest nor was I rude to any of the officers. I was charged with a class 3 felony for not having a permit to carry in the city of Philadelphia. I've never been in any trouble prior to this incident. I graduated from East Carolina University with a degree in Business Management and another degree in Marketing. I also played football at East Carolina during my four years and we won back to back CUSA championships. I have two handsome sons, a beautiful niece and a fiancé that I love so very much and who rely on me. After I posted bail I was able to travel back home to Virginia and continue my work as an advisor. There was a dark cloud over my thoughts and life because all of the lawyers that I reached out to told me that I would have to serve jail time and there was no way around it. Mr. Mincey did not make any guarantees but he promised me he would do all that he could to make sure I would not serve any jail time. If I were convicted of a felony I would have loss all of my securities licenses and been fired from my firm and be banned from practicing as a financial advisor. Mr. Mincey took on my case and worked very hard to work out a favorable deal for me with the District Attorney's office. Kevin stayed in constant contact with me and updated me every step of the way. I did not receive any jail time. I'm on probation but I still have my securities licenses and able to practice as an advisor. The hard work of Kevin Mincey not only impacted my life but my son's life as well. A couple of months after my arrest,my son's mother was unable to take care of him any longer. August 2014 I was granted full custody of my son. I don't know where my son would be if I were in jail and not able to take him in and raise him now. On behave of my family and all of the people that depend on, we truly thank you Kevin Mincey!!!

I hired Mr. Solarz to handle a medical malpractice suit involving my father. The case evolved into a wrongful death suit. Jordan and his support team were extremely professional and thoughtful in how the case progressed and offered the kind of advice that we really needed.

I contacted Mr. Solarz with a potential lawsuit and his help was invaluable. While my issue was not something that he generally handles, he pointed me in the right direction to find someone that could. Mr. Solarz didn’t rush me off the phone like the dozen other attorneys that I contacted first. He was patient and attentive with my issue. While he didn’t handle my case personally he assisted me in getting the information that I needed to pursue my claim. Very professional and pleasant interaction with the otherwise impossible-to-navigate legal field.

My husband and I hired Mrs. Masters to represent our son when he was sued by a credit card company. We expected her to negotiate with them and we would pay to settle.
After she spoke to our son, he opened up to us about the extent of his debt problem following his divorce. She suggested bankruptcy was his best option and was able to stop all the creditor calls immediately. She did a great job and got his debts discharged, so he could have a fresh start.
I would reccommend her to anyone who is facing problems with creditors and debt.

He is very knowledgeable and also very honest. He will give you the good and the bad. He runs the show, but he wants you to be knowledgeable and prepared.

From the beginning to the end, George took great care of my case. He came to my home for the initial consultation because I was immobilized from the accident. He kept me updated as things progressed and dealt with an opposing lawyer who did everything he could to drag the case out and make things difficult and ugly. His advice and counsel helped me make the decision to reach a settlement. And his team was just as caring and supportive along the way.

After meeting with two attorneys to represent me, it was clear almost immediately Phil was the right representation. The retention process was easy, his schedule and staff was very flexible and I really felt like Phil truly cared for me as his client. He was very thorough in his analysis and provided me with winning counsel and also just generally explaining state laws which can be very confusing. Marital agreements are not the easiest of conversations to have, and Phil provided me with guidance and ethics in that area as well. I would absolutely recommend Phil for any family law needs.

My name is Sandra . This is a true story. I am a 30 veteran entrepreneur specializing in the creating and national distribution of automotive warranties. Our product development & marketing company contend with a myriad of lawsuits due to the litigious nature of business in general however especially with in the insurance industries. We had the unfortunate pleasure of working with multiple legal firms prior to working with MARINO. We originally hired MARINO's law firm based in the greater Philadelphia area in 2009 when we were sued by a large competitor in an act of competitive warfare and an attempt of unfair gain. MARINO right from the get go was refreshingly competent & different, in addition to his fierce reputation for unparalleled success with trial law. The warranty industry is an extremely complicated, regulated and multi tiered industry that is NOT understood easily to a layman. MARINO, who governed over & handled the case, not only grasped the nature of this highly complicated business infrastructure quickly, saving us THOUSANDS & thousands of dollars in time spent "educating" the attorney, Marino also had a solid & firm understanding of business in general which in turn created a synergy & flow with Client & Attorney relationship enabling us to concentrate on trial preparation & strategy as opposed to struggling to get your attorney to understand where the meat of the conflict lied. It was impressive & gave us not only hope but courage! We were determined to fight & go all the way. Watching Marino's sound & intensely calculated strategy unfold throughout the deposition process was something to experience and humorous at times when he would flawlessly, yet with poise & elegance expose one lie after another. MARINO would confuse & trap the liar with ease. It was brilliant. He was so excellent the case never made it to trial. One weeks before trial was to begin, the Competition caved & went for a settlement out of fear. We walked away with an awarded 2.5 Million dollar settlement. Rightfully so. I HIGHLY HIGHLY! RECOMMEND Marino for any legal affair, struggle or battle you are faced with. MARINO will forever be our legal advisor & warrior. We continue our relationship up until this day. In closing, sometime during the first trial preparation & encounter with MARINO, we found out through conversation that Marino was an Olympic athlete in the sport of gymnastics in his youth! The man is not only physically handsome but also has the demeanor & flair of an Olympiad in the courtroom! To me he is superior to all & simply amazing. THANK YOU Steven Marino! We sleep much better at night because of you.

Mr. Sweeney took on a Federal case for me where history had proved it would be a highly challenging case to win. Mike took on that responsibility eagerly and willingly. His self-confidence, agreeable personality, effective and efficient communications skills were essential and constant. During many stressful situations, he responsed positively as an active listener and supporter. He worked tirelessly over the course of several years in a capacity that was always intelligent, skilled and very dependable all the way up to our day of victory. Mr. Sweeny exceeded my expectations in every way.

Michael Thomas Sweeney, successfully settled a complicated lawsuit for me and 19 other clients. Mr. Sweeney was thorough, responsive, and informative. Mr. Sweeney's intelligence, persistance, and experiece were invaluable to settle our case.
The lawsuit was against a restaurant we all worked for and the company was cheating us of our rightful pay. Through research, investigation, and many numbers, Michael Sweeney got to the bottom of it. And in doing so got us all what was rightfully ours.
I was so grateful to have a professional such as Mr. Sweeney heading our case. He is reliable, reachable, skilled, and effective. I would use Mr. Sweeney again and I highly recommend him.

Mr. McLaughlin is a professional and skilled attorney. His legal expertise and range of practical experience make him an incredibly effective advocate for his clients. This was my first time dealing with a criminal charge, so I was very nervous about what would happen and how it would impact my future. On our first meeting, Bill immediately put me at ease and walked me carefully through my available options. Throughout his representation, he consistently responded quickly to my phone calls or emails and thoughtfully answered any question I posed about my case and potential outcomes. As a lawyer, Bill is smart and experienced. He thinks through complex legal matters to find every possible solution. However, even more than his legal aptitude, it gave me confidence knowing he was on my side. He really cares about his clients, and it shows. He provided individualized attention, working with me through the specifics of my criminal case. He gave me all the information and tools I needed to make an informed decision about how to move forward in my case. Finally, he supported the decision that I made and we won my case. Bill’s clients are lucky to have him. I would highly recommend his services to anyone needing legal help in NJ or PA.

I had a trip and fall accident in Philadelphia because of a raised sidewalk out front of a car dealership. I went to the hospital the next day for hip and neck pain and then treated for a short period of time.

He kept me up to date with any offers throughout the litigation process and I am very appreciative.
