My wife and I met with AJ in person to discuss our case. He did a wonderful job of setting expectations and answering all of our questions in the initial meeting. He kept in constant contact with us all the time letting us know next steps and any documentation that was required from us. We received an initial settlement offer from the insurance company which was low. Rather than settle for that offer AJ went back to the insurance company and was able to negotiate a larger settlement out of court. Bottom line AJ listens to his clients, is compassionate as our case involved our minor child, helped us keep our emotions in check, and got us results.

I tried to retain Marta as my attorney in my divorce. I was unable to as my former husband visited several attorneys in the area so I would not be able to have them represent me.
I was able to retain Marta for what all that was not settled with the divorce including child support.
My former husband was very dishonest through the entire divorce process and child support. Marta was the one who brought years of dishonesty to light! Krebs vs. Krebs, that rewarded me thousands of dollars in arrears money and the maximum I could receive in alimony!
In addition, Karen Schryver’s review below I am in agreement 110%. In sports, I have always stated to my children and asked of my players, that you give 110% effort.
Marta gave me that 110% 💕

For someone who is from a foreign country and was in a domestic violence marriage living in a shelter for months… It was very important to trust in someone again. A friend who knows my soon to be ex husband and me recommended me Martha . I don’t regret working with her. This has been a very difficult time for me dealing with traumas and healing from my concussion. Martha has always advised me the best. She is very professional and smart. I am embarrassed that she has to deal with my soon to be ex husband because he lacks empathy and is very controlling and can be very scary and rude sometimes. I was scared of him when I saw the type of divorce he filed a fault divorce lying, but Martha is not scared of anyone and has always treated everyone with respect but always fighting for my rights . It’s been about 6 months working with Martha. Her staff is also very professional and caring.

Daniel Hollander is very experienced in his field. He had answers to all my questions and made me feel more comfortable going into my court case. Him and his partner Mike Noone absolute killed it and got all of my charges dropped. It seemed like Mr. Hollander knew just about everyone in the court house from his past professional experience, that is always nice to know and made me feel more settled about my case as well.

Mike is not only extremely professional and knowledgeable in his field, he is also very personable and caring. He came recommended to me from a mutual friend and treated me with utmost respect from the first phone call until well after the court date. As someone who had never been in legal trouble before I greatly appreciated how much he prioritized my comfortability and kept me aware of all necessary information and options regarding the case. He’s a standup person and a great lawyer. Highly highly recommend.

Marta did an outstanding job handling my divorce in 2014. She was extremely attentive, caring, always prepared, knew how to handle difficult situations that arose, and there were many, always stayed on top of every small detail & fought for me and my rights right up until the divorce was finalized in June of 2016. This was a long & difficult divorce, but I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I don’t think anyone could have done a better job than Marta & I am forever grateful for her hard work & dedication. I would highly recommend Marta to handle anyone's divorce as she will not disappoint you & will stand up for your rights!!! Divorce is difficult enough, but having Marta by my side made the process much easier.

From the first initial phone consultation to the resolution of my case, Jennifer was professional and explained everything clearly. Communication was excellent. I had a rather large debt collection case against me and she was able to get the case resolved with zero liability on my part. I would have no hesitation in recommending her for debt collection cases.

Choosing Mike DiCindio was the best option I ever made! From the first call I knew I had made the right decision. He made everything feel at ease and walked me through all possible outcomes. He advised I get ahead of the game with classes and courses, this was very helpful in the end. The process took almost a full year but Mike was able to get the best possible outcome for my situation. If I unfortunately ever get into another situation, he would be my first call! Thank you very much for everything!

Why all the 5 star reviews? Because Jen, Sharon, and the team have taken a transaction based business and turned it upside down. They have made estate planning a people, process, and relationship business and combined it with a flat fee model. They follow-up periodically to ensure everything is still valid and in order. Client peace of mind is paramount with Peak Legal. They take the angst out of having to deal with the standard time and material billing model. Their proactive approach is just what clients require especially when it involves the arcane world of estate planning. Well done Jen, Sharon, and team!

My husband and I were rear-ended by one of two motorists racing each other, both of whom had rented late model "muscle cars."
We (my husband and I) were essentially at a standstill, preparing to make a legal right turn when we were hit from behind by one of the motorists travelling at a very high speed along the shoulder of a busy road outside of Philadelphia. Our car was catapulted well beyond the intersection and into an embankment.
Given the impact we were fortunate to have sustained relatively minor physical injuries. However, our hospital bills were significant, our car was "totaled," and my husband's resulting PTSD lingered for years.
After obtaining no satisfaction from our initially-hired attorney we turned to Maria Janoski. Maria went above and beyond to obtain settlements for us - exceeding our expectations. She is knowledgeable, thorough, driven, respectful, and personable. Throughout our ordeal Maria patiently explained the law and the process to us, keeping us informed along the way.
My husband and I liken Maria to "a wolf in sheep's clothing;" her demeanor is pleasant yet she is a highly competent injury attorney. We are truly grateful to have had Maria in our corner.

Dan HANIFIN did an amazing job helping me with my case. was able to get felony reduced to a misdemeanor and that enabled me to get back into school.He made the whole process very smooth and easy to understand every step of the way.

It’s my sincere pleasure to highly recommend John Rafferty!!
Although I have only known John a few months, having met via a referral I had sought from some business colleagues concerning a need we had to hire a “good and reasonable lawyer in our area [Chester County], I can wholehearted recommend Mr. Rafferty to anyone seeking the same.
After retaining John, to handle a landlord tenant dispute, I found them to be incredibly accessible a great communicator, and very efficient and professional. He went out of his way to try to help me limit my legal expenses, and still provide me with excellent service and expertise. Find someone both competent and highly honorable is unfortunately somewhat rare in this day and age. John Rafferty, has earned my recommendation and I give it without hesitation.

We would recommend John to friends and family as well as reach out if we ever needed assistance in the future.

Attorney Miller assisted me and my family with a Landlord//Tenant dispute and resolved our issue. Upon my first consultation with him, he listened to my case/grievance and jumped right in to help me. When I met with him in person for document review, he gave me a "firm" hand shake, which shows a person's sincerity and integrity, and Attorney Miller has both.
I recommend Attorney Miller for any Landlord/Tenant case, as he fights hard for justice for his clients.
Attorney Miller is the best lawyer in Chester County, by far.

We were in the midst of a first-time legal interaction, alarmed and confused. We interviewed a few attorneys and were not sure how to proceed. From our first call with Fran, he spoke with expertise, confidence and a clear understanding of our situation and what the next steps would look like. His knowledge of the law and local processes were exceptional and he calmly guided us through the experience. In addition, legislation changed during the course of our case and he was on the cutting edge of those changes - knowledgable and well versed, and it ultimately had a very positive impact to our case! We are so grateful to Fran for his personal attention and expert knowledge and guidance!

My divorce was contentious, and I needed an attorney who was knowledgeable, compassionate and willing to explain the many options available for a favorable settlement.

I had a very unusual divorce. I was saving up for a divorce when my husband had a massive stroke and he became disabled. I had a difficult time locating a lawyer who didn't want to charge me a massive retainer to take on my case. Ryan was very clear about the process and tried to help it move smoothly along. We ran into some issues with opposing counsel but he managed to find a workaround. He kept me informed the entire process and was wonderful to work with.

I highly recommend him.

My Name is Timothy and I am beyond impressed by Ted Murphy. I want to Ted with the most complicated and difficult case that my previous three immigration attorney's had given up on. Ted Murphy took time to explain his way forward plan and the best path about my case. He then followed this path that turned out to be the best and perfect plan. Ted took me from being illegal immigrant, appeared before the judge and got my permanent resident status. He then later applied for my citizenship which was granted about a week ago. Ted Murphy's sense humor, the love of what he's doing, communication and leadership skills tenacity, focused, fearlessness had really blowed my mind. I also learned that he is so highly respected by prosecutors and judges. I must include that I previously knew Theodore Murphy from no where in my life before. My summarized version of this Ted Murphy is nothing less than an Angel from Heaven. I does make more sense to me. He is so selfless and the truth altruistic Hum A being. I know for sure that I will forever honor, respect and love this man to ETERNITY. God bless you, your family, your law firm forever and annoint you in the enlarged territory. I will always everywhere share the good report about you. What faithfull servant in you.
Sincerely

My sister contacted Mr. Murphy to provide immigration advice to my then criminal case Lawyer. Mr. Murphy’s expertise in immigration cases and willingness to seek the best possible outcome for my case contributed to a life changing outcome, which to my family has been seen as a miracle. My case was not easy and I was facing deportation. Luckily for me and my family having the right representation at the right time was the key. If you are in need of an immigration lawyer and want to have the best, knowledgeable, caring immigration lawyer to represent you, go immediately with Mr. Murphy. He is the best Immigration Lawyer around the area. He has a great team and possesses the knowledge to help you achieve the miracle you dearly wish.

I know we have a long road ahead of us but thanks to Mr. Murphy we can face it together. I knew hiring Ted was the right decision. Another immigration attorney told us Ted was the right person to handle our case. And after meeting with him I could tell we had finally found the right person to handle our situation.

I can not speak highly enough about Jennifer Fink and her law office. If you have come to the point that you must seek representation you are overwhelmed, emotional, and anxious. This is especially true when it comes to divorce and family matters. From the moment I called the office to the end of my case, I knew that I could not have been in more competent hands. I was able to take a deep breath for the fist time after my initial consultation with Jennifer. She has such a heart for what she does and you know she is absolutely invested in your outcome. Her professionalism and knowledge of family law is beyond compare. She gave me peace of mind and confidence when it came to my divorce proceedings. Jennifer works compassionately and diligently on behalf of her clients. Finding a lawyer you trust with the outcome of a divorce and child custody can be overwhelming, I was so fortunate to have hired Jennifer Fink.

Kinda like what you see in the movies and television shows. That famous phrase "Best Damn Lawyer In Town!!" fits Patrick perfectly I would say. About three years ago I was involved in a serious motorcycle accident that almost cost me my life because of a reckless driver. When I went to see Pat for the first time, he came across as a very friendly and pleasant individual who made the atmosphere of the meeting very calming and laid back. During the meeting Pat was very informative and attentive to all the facts and information that I had with me at the time. The thing that I really liked about Pat was that he had a "no-bullshit" attitude and was straight to the point with his honesty as to how the case would go if he were to represent me, but the thing that sold me on his skill as a lawyer was his concern for me and my health first and foremost. His instruction was very simple; get myself back to good health, follow the medical treatment that I would have to go through and last but not least have patience's. As Pat would explain it to me, a case like mine would take several years to come to a resolution but his biggest concern was that we didn't overlook or miss any injuries that could come up during my healing process.
It is three years later and my medical treatment is still ongoing. Patrick is doing a fantastic job of putting this case together and is on top of everything. Pat and I have a relationship that is by definition a very relaxing and informal arrangement where we can both speak freely to one another, no holds barred. There is one thing that I have to put out there. Pat is a very busy individual that seems to have a large client base so don't be surprised that when you need to get in touch with him he doesn't respond in a timely fashion. As I said, Pat is so on top of his game and great to converse with. Just keep in mind, when he says "have patience's", take that advice to heart and it will go a long way if you should ever need his service. Just like I said "Best Damn Lawyer In Town!!".

It is a pleasure to write a review on the services MacElree and Harvey provided, specifically Mr. Michael Louis and Mr. Patrick Gallo. While my situation would likely be considered a minor case, for me it was very concerning. After contacting Mr. Louis he immediately assisted with a time sensitive court document and addressed my concerns regarding financial liability. After the initial concern was addressed, Mr. Patrick Gallo worked diligently on negotiating a reasonable settlement and provided me with several options. Both Mr. Gallo and Mr. Louis were always available, provided detailed explanations, were extremely professional, and treated my case with the utmost importance. In addition, their rates were very fair as they went “above and beyond” to assist. Thank you both for all your help.

Mr. Gallo helped me with legal questions regarding a home title transfer. He was helpful and explained my options clearly. This in turn helped me make the best decision for my family and I. Once I made a decision, Mr. Gallo made the rest of the transfer process simple. He also kept me informed in every step of the process. I would consult Mr. Gallo in any other future legal matters without question.

I had a very difficult and complicated case related to real estate that could not be solved by other lawyers. Mr Louis took the case and worked on it patiently with determination and professionalism. He analyzed the problem and was able, given his experience, to get to the root of the issue that he addressed successfully and was able to win the case for me after some serious and meticulous efforts were invested. I recommend Mr Louis and his group with no reservation.

Our case with a giant company was quite unique and most lawyers did not have confidence to take our case. The added problem was because we were Canadians and we need US lawyer who should represent us in our absence in the US. Michael was courageous and undaunted to extend his professional help. The Company who disregarded our consumers' rights, and disrespected the law, was shrunk by the first letter of Michael who represented us. Our legal battle was smooth sailing with the professionalism of Michael and his staff. Michael knows his stuff, and were assured by his experiences and expertise in dealing with real estate legal matters. Our battle ended in just over a month long with positive result. He represented us and work for what we were fighting for in our absence. We did not have to be in the US to fight for our rights. We highly recommend Michael and MacElree Harvey, Ltd for your legal cases.

Hired David for a very messy custody disagreement. He has always been straight forward and gave honest opinions on the case. He has been able to obtain almost 50/50 for me (father). He doesn't back down and has won court hearings that I thought for sure would of turned out worse. Highly recommend him when it comes to family law you wont find better lawyer in Chester County had at many try before him and they all failed to achieve what he has.

When I first met with Dave he laid out clear expectations on how things may go. This information proved to be very valuable in the months ahead as we worked towards a solution with a difficult opposing attorney. Davids reputation with other attorneys positively effected the outcome for my case and ultimately led to a fair settlement for all parties. I do not hesitate to recommend Dave to anyone who needs to consult.

David was the mediator for our divorce settlement. He was amazing! Fair, patient, intuitive, empathetic, and professional. My husband and I were both committed to mediation and so appreciated David's ability to break down the process in a way that kept the work of negotiating the details of our agreement on track, while still moving us forward.
