First off, thanks Judge Lacey. You performed the ceremony and my wife and I have since been married for 20 years this February. Aside from that, before I was married, I had gotten a ticket from the code enforcer for the house I was fixing up for my future (at the time) wife. I sat in Judge Lacey's courtroom all day and heard every case. At the end, I found out that the ticket had been thrown out because common sense prevailed and they knew I was working on the house. Anyway, that day that I sat in Judge Lacey's court, I watched and listened as he took each case and applied common sense and wisdom not seen since Solomon. He looked at each situation and came up with a judiciary solution that was good for the community and in the best interests of the offenders. One that particularly sticks in my mind was for a coulple of kids... they had done some vandalism behind the old Pantry Pride grocery store in Darby, and Judge Lacey ordered them to go there with trash bags and clean the place up. "Whatever God did not put there, you will pick up." He didn't give them a fine, didn't send to juvenile hall, he gave them a task they would not soon forget. I know I haven't. My wife and I have been talking about maybe having a full blown wedding for our 20th anniversary, but I would still want Judge Lacey to perform the ceremony (again) if he could.

I hired Ms. Biswanger to represent me in a dispute with a former employer who owed me a lot of money. She warned me of the difficulty of collecting money from someone like him and worked out the most cost-effective way to get at least something from this guy. She did an excellent job.

I have been David Concannon's client for 20+ years for business collection cases. He is an amazingly talented litigator in State and Federal Court. He keeps everyone's attention, including the jury. He is a pleasure to work with, and knows the facts of your case. Equally as good is Matt Charles, David Concannon's partner. Matt will teach a client the law aspects of the case. Questions are answered immediately and fully.

Robert has helped us in our strenuous marriage immigration case for years now. Whenever we needed help on a simple question he would answer us FREE OF CHARGE. I've never delt with a lawyer who was more interested in helping you than filling their own pocket with money! This is my first review ever and we HIGHLY recommend Robert to help with anything to do with immigration. He just seems to know the answers to anything you might ask.

Attorney Chiple is very good at what she does. She is very honest and VERY COMPASSIONATE about my custody case. I am Forever grateful for having you as my attorney. Attorney Hoskins and you are what lawyers SHOULD LOOK UP TOO. Lawyers like you guys are so true about your core values as lawyers. What I meant to say is "you both DO what you SAY" not say what you do.

My experience was very positive. Navigating the Eldercare world for the first time meant "We didn't know what we didn't know". Rob and his staff took the worry out of it for us as we dealt with Mom's failing memory and the decisions we faced as a result. The were a phone call or email away to answer our questions and give expert advice. Caring for an aging parent is difficult, but the needs of a parent who suffers from Alzheimer's/Dementia adds another emotional layer to the situation. Retaining Slutsky Elder Law to advise us was the best decision we made. I wanted the peace of mind to know that someone was working on behalf of my family and my Mom for her to get the care she needed and deserved. I highly recommend this firm, they are good at what they do!

Had our first experience in getting a lawyer (to resolve a dispute with the prior owner of our house) and did a random Web search that let us to Fiffick Law. The reviews were good, but what does that mean? You see a lot of inflated reviews out there for services that end up being mediocre. Absolutely not the case here. Mike and his team are top notch - very knowledgeable, great communicators, easy to work with, reasonably priced. And best of all that we got the outcome we were looking for. We ended up needing to go to court and Mike was patient, clear, and kind throughout the whole process. We liked and trusted his team so much that we immediately signed on for additional services for an issue we could have dealt with by ourselves … and we would do so again. Anything requiring legal representation can be anxiety-inducing, but Fiffick law makes it easy and they work for their results. A++!!

I've worked with Monica on a number of cases over the years, and I can say with absolute certainty that she is one of the best immigration attorney in the Philadelphia area. During the initial consultation, she lays out your case step by step and in great detail. She lets you know your chances of approval and/ or denial, and the reasons why. She tells you what to expect during the process. She doesn't give you a false sense of hope and she definitely doesn't tell you what you want to hear. She tells you the truth and not some sugar coated version of the truth. She also doesn't make you feel helpless. She lets you know that your cooperation is required for the case to have a successful outcome. I've never met an attorney so thorough and efficient. She responded to all of my inquiries in a timely fashion (even after getting paid). Some lawyers pawn you off to the paralegal after they paid. That definitely was not the case with Monica. If you want someone who will diligently represent you, Monica is the lawyer for you.

Ms Singh has worked with our company over the past 3.5 years. She’s successfully completed one H1B for us, is processing a green card for us and worked with us on another H1B that unfortunately didn’t get through the lottery process. She’s been highly responsive at all times and patiently worked closely with our sponsorees who have English as a second language. We plan to continue working with her for the foreseeable future.

Ms. Singh is an excellent immigration attorney. I needed an immigration attorney to advise me on hiring a foreign national at my organization. After speaking and working with Ms. Singh, I find that Ms. Singh is well versed in her field. (and that's an understatement). When working with her, she's not one of those attorneys who will tell what you want to hear, rather she lets you know the risks involved when filing any case and your chances of approval and/or denial. She lets you know up front what documents you will need and the time frame. She didn't make the process sound rosy and easy (like some other attorneys) and always kept you abreast of your case status. If she wasn't too sure about something, she would let me know that she would have to do some research and let me know. Some lawyers sometimes are afraid to tell you they're not sure of something. As a matter of fact, upon meeting her, she let me know that she will always respond to any email or phone call within 24 hours and she honored it. I was always able to get in contact with her. She sometimes contacted me on the weekends, which is way above and beyond what I was expecting from any lawyer. My cases were handled timely and efficiently. With all the immigration hoopla going on these days, it's hard to find an immigration attorney not trying to take advantage of you. I recommend Ms. Singh to all my business associates and family members.

July 27, 2024 I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Michael Homans for several reasons; First for taking my case when no other attorney would. Second for his endless knowledge of PA employment law, as he was able to site a case that pertained to my situation exactly. Third for showing empathy and compassion for my individual situation of being unemployed and fighting a serious medical condition. He was more than fair with me. And last, for the short time it took him to win my case. From the time I hired Michael to the time my money was in my bank account was only five weeks, without going to court. He accomplished this in two ways: He wrote two brilliant letters on my behalf to the opposing counsel. And had one extremely persuasive conversation with them as well in between. They went from offering us nothing, to 60% to 100% of what was owed to me. They were trying to keep a large sum of money from me on a technicality that they invented, but Michael knew better. For all of these reasons I have found a wonderful new attorney and wouldn’t hesitate for a minute to recommend him to family, friends and even strangers. If you want someone who is compassionate, brilliant and effective Michael should be your a attorney too! Thank you Michael, for everything!

Rudy provided services for my Will and never got my wishes set right. The third time we reviewed the language in the Will and I explained it needed further changes, Rudy broke out in a rage and shouted at me, "I am working on a fixed fee", making it clear he did not want to deal with my Will anymore. A good attorney would have worked with me to get my wishes in my Will set out correctly, even if it was more than his perception of what he was owed.

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.
