Never having had to hire a criminal attorney before, I was in shock when I found myself in the position of needing one. And fast. Fortunately, I have an attorney friend to whom I immediately went and asked "what do I do" and "who do I contact?" Without hesitation, he told me to contact Larry Bozzelli and gave me his phone number. Within hours I spoke with Mr. Bozzelli and explained my circumstances. Right then and there he gave me the positives, the negatives, and what our next steps would be. I felt like I was in good hands and breathed a sigh of relief. As the matter progressed, he explained each step and everything went exactly as he predicted. Watching him in action it was clear he knew his way around the law, the Court, and was well-respected. Fortunately, our outcome was a positive one and I owe that to Mr. Bozzelli. So, if anyone asks me for the name of a good criminal attorney, I would answer without hesitation, "contact Larry Bozzelli."

If you want and need someone to help you not only to defend your loved one,but also to unravel all of the legal terms in a manner that's pretty straight forward... then Lawrence Bozzelli is the attorney for you.Mr.Bozzelli takes the time to make sure"everyone"involved in the case is reasonably informed to the best of his ability.He uses everyday language and even illustrations to insure you know what is happening at all times.Of course there will be times Mr.Bozzelli can't talk when you call,but he will definitely get back to you even if it's a text message he won't leave you hanging.

Dena entered our lives at a very difficult time. My husband had been diagnosed with mesothelioma, and had just undergone extensive surgery. We had been referred to her law firm, Weitz and Luxenberg. Dena contacted us and arranged to come to Florida and to spend the day with us. She was so sensitive and caring. She had our trust from the very beginning. She explained the process very carefully. She was available any time we had questions. Even after my husband unfortunately passed away, she continued to monitor the case, and to be helpful with advice, information, and encouragement. She had provided her personal cell number from the beginning, so I was able to contact her, even though she had changed law firms. She made me feel that I was still her client, and that she genuinely wanted to assist in any way. She is a credit to her profession!

Ms. Dena Young was lead counsel for my father's wrongful death while employed with one of the largest law firms specializing in asbestos litigation. Ms. Young's legal representation, subject matter knowledge, dedication and client devotion were exemplary. Ms. Young expertly guided my family and I through the technically complicated, stressful and emotionally taxing asbestos litigation process with skill and great compassion - she truly cares about her clients. Ms. Young's experience and legal expertise were "mission-critical" during the activities leading up to and during my week-long deposition, during which up to 15 defendant attorneys were present during the proceedings. I felt confident and comfortable during this stressful event thanks to Ms. Young's meticulous preparations. I highly recommend Ms. Young to anyone requiring legal representation and will seek her out again should I require counsel assistance.

I have retained Mr. Suchenski's legal services several times in landlord-tenant matters, as well as minor litigation. His advice is realistic and reasonable, and it is clear he has always pursued my best interests. That has included working with the other side of a legal matter to resolve an issue without going to court. I would summarize his approach as "let's make this work." More than a source of formal legal advice, I can call Mr. Suchenski for perspective on reasonable and ethical ways to approach issues that arise in running my small businesses.

I know to most that hiring an Attorney is a crap shoot , with loads of legal uncertainty concerns & questions, I was one of those people until I was introduced to Mr. Weiss and his professional concerned staff. During my Legal relationship with the firm I had numerous calls to them about my case which were returned within or less than 24hrs. My wife and I were always kept up to date with our case through e-mails,USPS and phone calls. When I first met the soft spoken knowledgeable Mr. Weiss I felt he was sort of an easy going guy during our meetings in his office, but when it was time to face the defendent he was extraordinary,fully prepared and took no prisoners. Working with his legal team in court was also very impressive with there timely exchanges of documents and materials. One thing that was very important to me was the well being of my wife in court in front of a jury on the stand, Mr. Weiss and his team prepared my timid wife fully were she was confident, comfortable and relaxed at all times when asked to take the stand. To conclude my review of Michael Weiss and his firm I would like to say I felt we had a friendship during our case and my wife and I just didn't fell at anytime that we were just another client. My wife and I also received 5 times more than we expected in our settlement.

I had one of the worst misdiagnosis which left me physically impaired for the rest of my life. I knew that I was done wrong by the Emergency Room I visited after they released me and I woke up the next day paralized. I had contacted Michael Weiss, who I had never spoken to before. I had left a message of what basically happened and to my surprise, he had personally called my back that same day while he was on vacation. I had liked his professionalism on the telephone way better than the other attorneys I had also spoken to. All I can say is that it was one of the BEST decisions I had ever made. He is well known in the industry, has kept me informed the entire time, is allways professional and has made a horrible situation for me be more bareable. I would reccommend him to anyone seeking an attorney for medical malpractice. Michael Weiss has given me a whole new look on attorneys. He's the BEST.

As an out-of-state resident with a family member in trouble, I needed to find a competent criminal attorney to address charges for an impending court date. I was referred to Mike Engle from the DA's office in my state noting that he was the President of the Pennsylvania Association of Criminal Attorneys. I found Mike to be very responsive (he actually called me back the same day) and willing to step me through the legal process. He answered all of my questions in a very friendly manner. We covered the legal implications, the fees, the process, and the potential outcomes so that I felt that putting my trust into Mike's hands was the very best decision I could make after interviewing more than a half dozen attorneys. Now that the case has progressed, Mike has continued to be affable and reachable.

Over the years, Michael has provided prudent guidance on a number of legal issues for my wife and I. Most recently, Michael represented us in a real estate transaction. From careful review of the purchase and sale contract, making sure that all contingencies were satisfactorily met, to attending our settlement over 100 miles from his Center City office location, Michael gave us complete confidence that he was the right choice. Adding to the complexity, we were obtaining private financing which required drafting of all funding and legal documents necessary that would normally be provided by a conventional lender or bank. Michael's knowledge and expertise continue to surpass our expectations. His undivided commitment to service and client satisfaction is second to none.

We had been involved in an ongoing suit for 2 years. We had worked with 2 attorneys on our case, both came highly recommended. We could not understand why our case was going nowhere. We felt the prosecution seemed to be gaining ground, although we were told we had a good case . Our case dragged on and on.We were bringing strategy ideas to our attorney, because we never heard his strategy plan. Our attorney only intensified our stress level. We were at our wits end. We were the defendants and we had lost any quality of life we once had . When we hired Abby Sacunas it was as if we had representation for the first time . The difference was measureable; quick action, return phone calls, pressing ahead in an agressive professional manner. She had support staff which kept the momentum pressing forward. Abby was to the point and kept on point. We could not believe the attention our case received. Abby turned our case around. We were guided by Abby every step of the way. She prepped us brilliantly for our deposition. Now the opposing attorney knew he was facing a true professional. Abby wrapped up our case in 3 months. If we had not switched attorneys we would still be floundering in a sea of unanswered emails and calls that seemed to deflect our concerns. I know it may sound sappy, but Abby gave us our life back. It is true what they say , at least in our case, you get what you pay for , and Abby Sacunas is worth every penny and then some. Abby Sacunas is the only attorney we will refer to friends or family, No matter what the issue may be. She is brilliant.

When my mom finally hired Ed. Alva. They acted very straight and played by the rules. He pointed out the facts and saw that it was BS on my evidentiary hearing.

After having several attorneys who did not believe in my husband's case, but did not hesitate to take my money. We came across Alva & Shuttlesworth via referral and was introduced to Mr. Foster. Since day one of speaking to Ed, he saw the vision and believed in my husband's case. He didn't make any promises or sell us dreams like lawyers in the past. However, he simply said I will do my best to represent my client. My husband currently serving a life sentence for a crime he did not commit has been fighting for his life for over 15 years. We hired Ed for PCRA Evidentiary hearing, and he came in, reviewed the file, spoke with his client several times, went to see his client, and listened to what his client brought to the table. Mr. Foster jumped right in and worked relentlessly on this file and fought for my husband. He collaborated with the PA Innocence Project involved in helping my husband prove his innocence. Mr. Foster was able to review the DA's file where Brady material was discovered. After some back and forth, we were in a courtroom and things were moving forward. January 29th, I got the phone call from Ed that forever changed my life. My husband's sentence was VACATED and a new trial ordered! Mr. Foster is amazing, dedicated, and did an outstanding job representing my husband.

I was arrested for two DUI’s a short time apart. The first lawyer I hired (not Kevin) was from one of several solicitations I received in the mail a short time after my arrests. Since I knew nothing about how this all really works, I decided that they were all probably pretty much the same, so I hired the lawyer that was closest to my home. He took my $1000 deposit, and showed up for both hearings, (which really didn’t take much preliminary work on his part). I was very concerned at this early juncture so I tried to reach him at his office several times before trial on either case and he didn’t return my calls until shortly before the first trial. When he did, he said he’s been very busy with cases that are more serious and asked why I was harassing his office, even though I had only called and left polite messages, at most twice a week, without a call back. Needless to say I knew I made a big mistake hiring this guy. So I kissed the $1000 goodbye and quickly looked for another lawyer. Kevin was recommended to me by a relative who actually works for another lawyer. After talking with him on the phone for a short time, I had a good feeling about him so I decided to make an appointment and speak to him in person. I think I just gave him my name and case numbers, but before I arrived he had already familiarized himself with both cases. He explained everything to me in detail, and patiently answered all of my questions. Although I was, of course, still concerned with the possible pending consequences of the DUI’s, I left his office feeling confident that he was really going to do his best for me. I had been so worried about losing my driver’s license, jail time, criminal record, car insurance, job reputation, etc… I didn’t want to be concerned about my lawyer too. I do field service work so my driver’s license is critical to my livelihood. I came to the conclusion that I really needed to put full faith in my lawyer and let him do his job. With Kevin I felt I could do that, so I did. Over that course of both cases and many trial appearances, I became even more confident that I had chosen the right lawyer. I discovered that Kevin really knew is way around the court room. He had a familiar rapport with the court officers and officials and knew the personality of each of the judges. He seemed to be well liked by them. He knew exactly how to make the system work for us, and to use a verse from an old Kenny Rogers song, “knew when to hold em, and when to fold em”. He was very versed in court procedures and legalese. He knew which of the legal maneuvers to use and at which time. He kept me completely informed throughout each of the trials and proceedings. Although I’m no expert in evaluating the way a trial goes, I was amazed at his expertise and subtle finesse. When all was said and done, both of my cases were discharged! I knew I didn’t deserve jail time or to have my license suspended or any of the other consequences, including losing my job, that would have come with a guilty verdict, and Kevin did everything right to assure that didn’t happen. I know he knows just how very grateful I am too, from my obvious joy at the outcome.

Used Kevin for my boyfriends VOP hearing. It was a first time tech. violation for a DUI case. Not only did he get the detainer lifted and avoid further jail time, he was very upfront and honest. He did not give false hopes or make unrealistic expectations. Even for a simple VOP hearing, he put time and effort into the case and even followed up after the case to ensure he was released. He also has very reasonable prices. If you need a criminal lawyer, I would highly recommend Kevin.

I hired Joe to get our startup off the ground and prepare much of our incorporating necessities. We searched for professional counsel and received so much more from him. We wanted to work with a lawyer who would guide and help nurture our business, and initially believed our search would be a long journey. Luckily, we found Joe early on and there was no doubt he was who we were looking for. I believe we could easily have headed towards headache, stress, and all the niceties of starting a business, but our progress with Joe has been filled with accomplishments and cheers. He was extremely perceptive of the nature and stage of our business, so we did not spend much time explaining - he innately understood. Joe is truly capable of an impressive array of qualities: 1. Extensive experience in business law 2. Attention to detail 3. Promptness (matter of hours, if not minutes) 4. Care and consideration (genuine interest in your best interests) 5. Eagerness and passion for his profession 6. Efficiency (ensures you get the best value) Our company is in very good hands with Joe - we continue to work with him on a frequent basis and would recommend Joe in a heartbeat.

As the CFO/COO at my current company and COO at my previous one, I have worked with Joe as our outside counsel for several years and gotten to know him both professionally and personally. Joe is smart, experienced and attentive. He learns our business, keeps us up to date, and identifies and weighs legal and other risks while also balancing our business needs. He is quick, efficient, low-cost and also always available when we need him. Joe has provided excellent, strategic legal and business counsel across a range of issues, including obtaining our trademarks, preparing equity and convertible note financings, advising on and documenting our corporate governance needs, and working on potential acquisitions and joint ventures. He has negotiated all of our commercial contracts, including employment and consulting agreements, commercial leases, confidentiality agreements and vendor and customer agreements. He has also advised on business disputes, tax and employment issues, and negotiated our loan facilities. Overall, I highly recommend Joe for almost any business legal needs.

I have worked with Benjamin Jerner since 2010 and have been exceedingly impressed and pleased with all of our interactions. I initially asked him to work with me in preparing a will and again approached him recently to amend this document incorporating some rather significant detailed changes. The result was everything and more than I expected! Ben's entire office staff is warm, welcoming and professional and are responsive to questions. Emails and telephone calls are returned promptly and courteously and fees are fair and reasonable. My late father was an attorney and I am quite savvy about recognizing quality. I am 100% pleased with Ben and his firm and strongly recommend it!

I know many attorneys both professionally and socially. Pam has the rear mix of ability and personality that makes you want to work with her again and recommend her services to others. As a client, knowledge and responsiveness are key to a working relationship with an attorney. Pam possesses both these traits in addition to a laser focus to detail. When you mix the professional attributes with her warm and understanding personality, you end up with a person you want to work with again and again.

Meeting Jeremy was a true blessing. My husband filed a false complaint against me for which I was arrested. I was very upset and very stressed. Before Jeremy, I spoke to couple of other lawyers but was not confident that they will do a good job. On my first meeting with Jeremy, I knew he understood my case well, gave my case a top priority, returned my calls promptly and made this whole process less stressful for me. He represented me in a very difficult case with less evidence but still he did such an excellent job and got me out of a big mess. All I can say is, Jeremy is not only an outstanding lawyer but also a very good human being. I can assure you that your time and money will be worth if he represents you.

Jeremy Gelb represented me on a charge of possession with intent to distribute. The fact that he got me a better result than I ever expected may be the most important reason why I am giving him the highest rating but it is far from the only one. He did a number of things that made me feel like I was a priority. He returned my calls promptly. Even when he was in the middle of a high profile trial in federal court. He gave me good advice and helped me make some tough decisions. But he also listened to me and consider my point of view. I noticed something early in my case. Other lawyers even the prosecutor treated him with respect. I could tell that he was highly regarded by his peers. I had some frighting consequences staring me in the face. In the midst of all that he made me feel that I was in good hands. Thant feeling helped me get through it all.

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:

  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.

    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.

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.
