I got to work hand in hand with Jessie over the course of my case and there wasn’t a time I didn’t feel secure in the advice and recommendations that she gave me. I believe she was very effective in her work and she is very passionate about it, creating an environment where you feel like you are really being taken seriously. She is also very honest, and will tell you truthfully how hard some of the things you may be seeking will be to achieve while also giving you ideas of how you could make certain things easier on you and yours, or to pitch ideas you haven’t even thought about. If I could give more stars I would!

Started off promising the case he was hired for was simple and straight forward. Communication was non existent no response to emails or phone messages. 90% of the time there was no answer from anyone at his office. In the end had to hire another lawyer.

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional support Josh Geist provided in handling my auto accident claim. From the very beginning, his professionalism, expertise, and dedication were evident, and they made a significant difference in the outcome of my case.
Navigating the complexities of a legal claim can be overwhelming, but his guidance and clear communication every step of the way put my mind at ease. He was always available to answer my questions, provide valuable insights, and ensure that I was fully informed throughout the process.
Thanks to his efforts, I was able to secure a favorable resolution that I believe would not have been possible without your hard work and expertise. I truly appreciate the care and attention he gave to my case.
I highly recommend Goodrich & Geist to anyone in need of legal assistance. Their commitment to their clients and their ability to achieve positive results are commendable.

Josh was professional , took care of my personal injury as soon as he was hired. He showed up to my door step after attacked by a dog , made it effortless on my part, and always responded promptly. There were times , I was stressed out and probably came off upset because of the whole incident , but he never once took it personal and reminded me when things got tough that I would get justice. The results were positive and my case was solved from incident to settlement in 10 months , which is pretty quick when it comes to law. I have nothing but respect for his firm and will use him again if needed. He really cares about the common Person and in this day and age, it’s hard to come these days.

Elizabeth Molnar advised me to address my criminal case by initiating a PFA case. I spent $$$ for a paragraph and sat an entire day in court to submit it. They appeared with me on the scheduled hearing date, knowing it would be postponed, and charged me another $$$.
She told me I needed to hire a criminal lawyer 2 days before my case because they didn’t have one to send, that was another $$$$. But that firm showed up, exceeded the desired expectations THIS firm requested to win the PFA, and did it with one court visit that lasted 30 minutes.
The PFA hearing was postponed again, another full day in court, then wasn’t given clear billing expectations moving forward. She handed off the case to Meghan Zupanic. An emergency arises, there’s a PFA violation, Elizabeth was on vacation, Meghan took 2 days to respond, the lack of action resulted in a PFA being filed against me.
Told them I planned to change firms, Elizabeth offered me a lower flat fee, promised to address my concerns about lack of urgency or communication, I paid them another $$$$. They made no effort to communicate or keep me informed, likely because they weren’t doing anything to prepare or ensure the desired outcome for the cases.
I did the investigative research that Elizabeth suggested, said she would do, and then didn’t. I researched claims and accusations, pointed out lyes, and provided evidential proofs that could be used in my case. Meghan was so ill prepared for the case that the judge was genuinely frustrated. While my character was being ripped to shreds, the JUDGE asked why she wasn’t objecting. She had dates wrong, hadn’t reviewed crucial parts of the case. The conclusion? Another full day in court. My case for the PFA violation was dismissed and a Temp PFA was granted against me.
They have negated any validation I had of being a victim from the criminal trial. I relived all my trauma to provide them the resources to protect me from being fearful of them ever happening again. He got to walk away smiling, calling himself the victim, while I have to live with the perpetual fear of being arrested if he sees me somewhere.
While I hate to leave such a terrible review, its impact will pale in comparison to how their terrible service has impacted me. They refused to provide me any billing details. They couldn’t speak to a single reason or cause for their negligence other than blaming the JUDGE. They dwindled the possibility of a partial refund so I could seek new counsel, they suggested they would take action to try and remedy part of the outcome, but what they really did was just exhaust any legal window I had for recourse.
The negligence, the lack of professionalism, lack of accountability, blame shifting, failure to honor the terms of the retention contract that was signed, is all just absolutely appalling. As they’ve made zero effort to remedy any of this, and have in fact made it worse, I will be filing complaints with all the necessary legal entities. I implore anyone seeking genuine help to look elsewhere.

Ana Lisa Petrella is an extremely efficient, compassionate, and knowledgeable attorney. She got me through the very important process of dealing with child support successfully. Will you be charged for phone calls and emails? Of course. But her rates are reasonable and her experience is extensive, so she will not waste your time, or hers for that matter. When you reach out, she responds within the day, sometimes the hour if you catch her between hearings. She is a warm soul that clearly wants to help her clients get what they deserve. As a woman, I wanted a woman representing me through this process. She gave me the confidence to ask for what I needed, and to not give in to my natural instincts to roll over. I'm so grateful to the person who recommended Ana Lisa to me, and now I'm paying it forward to whoever reads this. Do yourself a favor, just call her.
Her office, paralegals, and admins also deserve high praise. They keep you apprised of everything from billing, deadlines, and correspondence about your case. You'll get itemized statements monthly so there are no surprises. Let's face it, if you're seeking a lawyer, you are already stressed- Ana Lisa and her team relieve as much of that pressure as you let them. Just let them. :)
Thank you, Ana Lisa and GRB Law, for a seamless process in my case.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I was going to file bankruptcy and was told I had to pay them $1,500 upfront, that was fine and I paid. I had other things come up that were not so good so I did tell them to hold off on processing papers. At this time nothing was done on their end, all I did was send papers in and they received them. I decided to not file for bankruptcy at this time. I reached out to them and let them know that and the first thing I was told was “no problem we will refund your money back”.. It has been over 4 months and i still have not received anything. I’ve called multiple times, I either cannot get ahold of anyone and nobody calls me back or I do get ahold of someone and they tell me they will find out what is going on but never do. I am disabled and have been waiting for my money back for months I think that is a ridiculous way to run a business you are supposed to have trust in. My advice is if you are going through hardships, and or need to file for bankruptcy please put your trust elsewhere!!!!

I was in a very bad situation and needed more help than just the Debt relief people. I wanted someone who I knew I could trust and that would not only help me but would give me support through the whole process. I knew Ken and his wife through a teaching job where I taught their 3 children. I knew Ken's reputation and Julie's. I knew I was in good hands because they knew me and my history. They gave me not only legal advice but also support throughout the entire process even into the court process which was very scary but with them behind me and their team I knew I was safe. Thanks again, Ken and your team.

Really disappointed in the character of Attorney Brian Kane.
Biran Kane bullied me personally and defamed me publicly based on his perception and without any opportunity for me to defend myself to correct whatever false perception of which he decried me.
His character is unbecoming of a professional and I would not work with him.

I used this firm a while ago for a car wreck and thet got me a great settlement. Recently I used them for a neck injury and they got me 1/10 of what I should have got. I was extremely disappointed and upset. I had to call numerous times to remind them I was a client and was waiting. I talked to some other firms after I received my settlement and they told me they could have gotten me a lot more money. I would rather use Edgar Snyder than these guys again what an insult the amount of money I got for a neck injury. These guys are a joke now.

I have been with the firm for about two years as my divorce is taking time due to the other party. I started off with one attorney and due to maternity leave, Bethany stepped in to get the process moving after my retainer was given. I was then assigned to Chrystal. She has explained everything well and took charge of my divorce. She won the APL for me. She answered every question I had timely. The outcome of the divorce with child support and alimony is fair, considering the laws. She will also work on my custody. To be truthful the divorce process is expensive (depending on your situation), but the experience that comes with the firm is worth the cost. The firm has been very workable and most importantly truthful with me.

This firm and our Attorney has been nothing less then a blessing to our family, when we thought that everything was going against my son fighting for his child, Chrystal stepped in with no hesitation and took the wheel, provided the evidence and got my son his child. we are so grateful for everything she does and pushes hard for us each and everytime, she fights for us like she would for her own family. I couldn't be more happier, pleased and blessed 🙏 and would refer anyone I know to this firm and attorney any chance I get. Thank you again!!!!

I had an amazing experience with Shrager Attorneys. The whole process was super smooth, and the communication was top-tier. Lyle and Frankie were both incredible—they really had my back every step of the way. Even when I slipped up on my end, Frankie made sure everything stayed on track. I felt completely supported throughout, and I’d 100% recommend them to anyone. If I ever needed legal help again, I wouldn’t hesitate to come back. Thank you guys again!

I sat in jail with a bond set 200k for simple and 5 k for DUI (3) assault and intimidating witness, from a known abusive ex. Drug dealer. A police officer I sued a year prior finally pulls me over in another jurisdiction under no legal way no legal reason to pull me over. He stated that my back window was covered with a plastic he couldn't see through which was one that I bought at AutoZone and this was in Westmoreland county he then said he traveled me across the bridge for 4/10 of a mile to clock me to make to see if I was speeding I suppose he came to the conclusion I was going 34 in a 25 which would be impossible to prove because there wasn't enough space for him to actually properly conduct that speed check and that was established in the courtroom in front of the judge and the judge still allowed this man to leave the courtroom lying and I know courts got a lot to lie about but if I'm innocent until proven guilty nah. in a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee .

I hired the attorney for a real estate matter. Initially attorney Wakefield was responsive but that was not the case after paying the retainer. Email communication was unprofessional at times. The attorney would provide timelines in updates that were never met. Overall a costly, frustrating and disappointing experience for this former client.

I hired Kathryn Wakefield in April of 2022 to Open a Judgement. She was initially communicative and polite. She asked for a $1000 retainer and I agreed. As soon as she had my money she became uncommunicative. It has been a year since I hired her and she has still NOT filed the paper work to Open the Judgment. DO NOT GIVE THIS LAWYER A RETAINER!!

I hired Attorney Wakefield after seeing the good reviews here, but I did not have a good experience. Felt overpromised and underdelivered. Communication was difficult; she was quick to respond in the initial consult, but after we funded the retainer, it seemed our case was no longer a priority. Expect several days or more between responses to short questions. We were verbally told timeframes that ultimately were not met. Luckily we ended it early, but we lost a bit of money and a few valuable weeks of time in our case. Review her contract carefully and get multiple opinions on your case before making a decision. This review is my personal opinion based on my experience.

I was hit by a car on November 16, 2023, and it’s been a long road to recovery. Through a friend, I was recommended to Brendan Lupetin, Greg Unatin, and their associate Garrett Trettel. They were there for me every step of the way, guiding me when I didn’t know what to do and answering my questions pretty much anytime—day or night. They worked hard to get me the best results possible and even reduced some of their fees to help me. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else.

3 years ago my son and I were involved in a car accident. My son’s grandfather referred me to Lupetin & Unatin for representation for the accident. His referral came highly regarded due to him having a case where he was sued Duquesne Light for damages to his property and he won. So needless to say, I went with his recommendation.
Regarding my own case, the representation I received from Lupetin & Unatin was superb. I filed my lawsuit at the beginning of 2022 and they diligently gathered all the information needed to settle the case for me and my son. It took some time, but the end of 2024, they were able to get us a reasonable settlement and they only charged 25%. Garrett Trettel was representing us and he treated our case with the utmost importance and urgency, being very transparent of the necessary steps that had to be taken along the way in order for us to cross the finish line.
I can honestly say I am pleased and satisfied with the service I received from this law firm. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again in the future.

I strongly advise against engaging this attorney or law firm if you seek organized and effective representation. Instead of drafting the demand letter to the insurance company as initially agreed, the attorney requested that I prepare it myself, yet charged me a $500 fee for services that were not rendered as promised.

Mr. Ernsberger is an incredible attorney. When I contacted him, I was without hope and believed there could be no resolution to the situation I'd encountered with my Homeowner's Insurance Carrier. Subsequent to a fire loss in December of 2022, I was without payment and the carrier had canceled my policy based on incorrect information. Within two weeks of contacting Dan, the problems were solved. I've received payment and had my policy reinstated. He made the process simple and easy. Highly recommend him and his assistant Mary to help you in a prompt and efficient manner.

My living room ceiling collapsed due to a variety of factors, but my insurance company refused to compensate. I hired Dan Ernsberger of Behrend & Ernsberger, PC to fight the giant insurance company. He obviously presented an extremely convincing argument in my favor. Last week I deposited a settlement check into my bank account that exceeded all expectations. I want to thank him for going to battle for the little guy.
