Dolan Law LLC always goes above and beyond in everything that they do. I’ve been with this office for close to 8 years now and I have had other attorneys in the past but let me tell you I’m a customer that will ride this relationship until the wheels fall. This office always seems to impress me. I use Dolan Law for everything from real estate transactions, business formation, and even general legal contracts that I come across before I sign. If you have a complex issue this is the office to call. If you have anything you need done, THIS IS THE OFFICE TO CALL!!!!

I was fortunate to pick the right guy after making a handful of calls to find a corporate lawyer. Within 24 hours, not only had I had several calls conducted, but files were submitted. He helped walk me through different positions and was patient enough to explain the ins and outs of different approaches. I had a lot of questions, he had thorough answers. Really a great job, expect great and you will likely get the best!

In my complex social security disability case, which involved international totalization law, I talked to many attorneys but by far David J Lyons Esq was the very best. There is no way I could have won my case without him. In fact, he won my case two (2) times as the first time the judge made a legal error so we had to go through it all again with a second hearing and he won it all again to get full SSDI benefits for me. Prior to each hearing, I could see that he over prepared and had accurately covered all angles of the case and knew all of the evidence very well. I highly recommend David J Lyons Esq as a social security disability attorney for anyone who has a genuine disability claim.

I was injured in a slip and fall accident. Mr. Lyons took care of me from the very first day we spoke. Not only did I get all my medical fees taken care of, I also got a settlement that helped get me back on my feet. He's a Great Lawyer who obviously cares about his clients.

Although he has changed law firms recently, he's the best lawyer in his specialty. My family hired him for a personal injury lawsuit. What I liked is that he is easy to communicate with and takes my questions seriously and is not condescending. When possible he would get right on the phone with me or give me a very prompt call back. I also really appreciated that my lawsuit wasn't put on a back burner. He took the case by the horns and did everything that could be done, given the unique set of circumstances. Still, he left no stone unturned and I couldnt ask for more than that.

I have had multiple dealing with this law firm. I have used this firm for closings, estate planning, and general legal advice. Specifically, my dealings with Andrew Gonser have always been met with a concerned ear and responsive conversation to fully understand and address my issues. I have referred multiple people to Mr. Gonser and have always been thanked for such a good recommendation. I am 100% confident that he has my best interests at hand.

Gary Spritz became my lawyer at a pivotal moment in my life. I was going through an acrimonious custody battle and decided to call the two references I had. It was 6 p.m. on a Friday evening. I expected a return call on Monday morning, but Mr. Spritz called me back right away and we set an appointment for the following Monday. He is a first-rate attorney: a skilled negotiator, advocate, and litigator. For example, he put an end to my five-year battle by recommending obtaining a court-appointed evaluator, which I followed. Otherwise, I would have had twelve more years of foolish wars. If you are results-oriented, hire Gary Spritz, Esq. He is honest, forthright, and an undisputed heavy weight.

From the beginning, due to the complexity of my case, Gary was honest and didn't give any false hope about the possible results of my divorce settlement. I am confident that the results was largely due to his 30+ years of knowledge and experience.
I was totally blown away each time I saw his tenacity in court!
Thank you Gary for your genuine concern about me and my family!

This review is a pleasure to draft and will only highlight a fraction of the respect and admiration that Joe has demonstrated during our three year business engagement. I and a partner hired Joe after being highly recommended from another law DE law firm. Without this sounding like a simplified description of our interactions, he's a very easy and comforting attorney to interface with. He's always fully prepared and efficient in his approach when discussing any of the elements that are needed to prevail. Joe combines the ability to strategize the ultimate objective by piecing together the series of facts and legal facets that wind thru any complicated filing, trail preperation and courtroom success. Joe offers the opportunity to feel confident that each stage of litigation and negioation is being handled at the highest professional level. He's made a very complicated legal case flow smoothly while some former attorney's make relatively simple cases into convoluted messes. The greatest compliment in business is a repeat customer and I'm a lifetime supporter of Joe's legal work and equally important, the class he bring's to the legal field as a whole.

I retained Joseph over an eight-month period to handle the litigation on a reverse triangular stock valuation. I found Joseph to be very legally competent, attentive, and sensitive to my budget needs. It was a highly emotional and frustrating experience but Joseph navigated us through all of the legal issues and we obtained the best settlement that was legally possible. I think that Joseph was diplomatically candid about the legal merits of our case and was careful to let me know what our real chances were for success from the beginning so that I did not pursue any unwise strategies. He did not sugarcoat the issues but I always found him to be optimistic in pursuing the best outcome for our interest. I found him to be very careful to control the legal expenses that we would incur, which I very much appreciated. I also think that he was good at just listening to my occasional venting as I ran into repeated frustrations caused by the legal complications of our case. I would highly recommend him for corporate litigation matters.

We were the plaintiffs against a very deep-pocketed set of VC firms (these would be household names among the tech community), who we alleged misappropriated funds when a technology company we co-founded was sold. Joe was referred to us and upon mutual consideration agreed to take the case on contingency. The case took a couple of years to wind through the legal system given the behavior of the defendants. We eventually obtained a favorable (mediated) settlement. He earned his keep, never lost his composure, worked through challenging legal and business matters, and was not put off by technical issues (though these were few). I would work with Joe again if ever in that unfortunate situation. But I would never start a company with those VC firms again.

Jeannie got me a big settlement for my case. I was injured and out of work. Jeannie helped me out if time. I could not believe it. She got me more than I thought I was going to get and more than other attorneys told me they could get me. She got me my just due compensation for my injuries.

I would definitely recommend Jeannie to anyone who need a lawyer.

Jeannie worked a personal injury case for me. I was injured in a car accident and sustained several severe injuries. Jeannie landed me a six-figure settlement. I could not have been more happy with Jeannie's services. She answered every question that I had and made sure that I was always kept on notice with what was happening in my case. Jeannie is definitely a zealous advocate for her clients. I would highly suggest Jeannie. In fact, I have recommended her to several friends and family members, one of which was my husband. She helped my husband with a workers comp issue and again we could not be happier!!! Thx Jeannie!!

We have depended on Kevin, and now his son and colleague Paul O'Brien to help our family with our estate planning for many years. They provide sound advice, take the time to present the options and explain the reasoning behind all of the estate planning documents. Kevin did our Trust documents almost 20 years ago and it was time (maybe past time) to update them. Paul took this on and was great to work with, patient and knowledgable. He explained the options and we worked to apply them to our situation, He made the process easy and understandable. We highly recommend Kevin and Paul for estate and trust planning.

Kevin is an excellent and experienced estate planning attorney. I feel he has my family's best interests at heart in his recommendations. My family includes a child with special needs and charitable intentions, both of which he easily handled in his overall plan. We also own a small business which he was able to integrate into our estate plan, with additional asset protection I feel was necessary.

I really like Carl, both personally and professionally. He understands the legal process and the impact it has on litigants. In that regard, his clients are well prepared for court appearances and the challenges the opposing party's counsel will present.
Carl has sufficient family law litigation experience to do a risk-benefit analysis prior to litigation/settlement. His projections, based on my experience, were generally accurate. Carl was able to negotiate a generous settlement on my behalf. I would highly recommend him to anyone with an actionable issue in Family Court.

I rely on Carl Heckert, for my legal counsel, he earned my trust initially by handling my divorce, property settlement, and child custody proceedings. It was very tough time transitioning into the world of being a divorced, single, working mother of two young children. So, having such an excellent attorney saved me time, money, and the stress of navigating the judicial system completely unaware and extremely afraid. Looking back, I honestly don’t know how I would have made it without Carl looking out for our best interests. His professionalism and precise execution of my legal matters has lead to on-going support in terms of family estate planning for myself and my mother. I highly recommend Carl Heckert to anyone that needs trustworthy legal counsel and representation.
I have learned a great lesson, life has many ups and downs however if you fail to plan then you most assuredly plan to fail. Great legal counsel has made a huge difference. If there is a next time, Carl will be there from the beginning and draft a pre-nuptial agreement while crossing all T’s and dotting the I’s at the engagement party.

Kevin is the best lawyer I ever had. When you get into any kind of legal trouble you want a lawyer that will tell the truth and not just what you want to hear. I had dui case 10 years ago and forgot to do the last part to restore my license. I got pulled over and got 4 tickets. One of them if found guilty I would have to serve jail time. Kevin was so knowledgeable about the law and the process that he was able to work a defense for me that got almost everything dismissed. The important thing was I was not going to jail. Kevin is a staight shooter and a fair priced lawyer. I would recommend him to anybody that fine themselves in a criminal case.

I engaged him when my father had passed away years ago and again when my mother passed away recently. It also involved international estate planning. Some of the forms he had done for me when my father passed away did not reap immediate benefits (quite honestly at that time, I was questioning it). However, several years later after my mom passed away, I saved a significant amount of cap gains tax because I decided to follow his advice (even if I did not completely understand his rationale at that time). He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and pleasant to deal with. Would hghly recommend him (already referred two of my friends to him).

My experience with Karla has been nothing short of excellent. She is extremely knowledgeable, and she is able to translate what she knows to her clients in a very understandable way without ever being condescending.
She is extremely reliable and does what she says she will do without needing reminders from the client. Unlike almost every other professional I have dealt with, when Karla takes on a task, the client can very safely let go, knowing that it will be done right and on time.
In addition to doing the work that I contracted for, Karla went out of her way to help me with a related issue involving another professional, who was not doing his job properly.
I have already referred my friends and colleagues to Karla and will continue to do so without hesitation.

13 Nov, 2018 by Mark
I was referred by a friend who was an attorney for different legal representation himself to contact 3 attorneys that I was to meet and decide on who to hire for my divorce. When I met Leslie as the first of 3, we sat across the table from each other and I immediately knew that I could trust her to help get me through my divorce as well as other protective avenues that were being presented to me. I knew she had my best interest in getting a resolution as fast as possible but with her due diligence to make sure I was covering all needed aspects about my case. Leslie listened to my story at the initial meeting and continued to build on my story as the meetings progressed. She knew every aspect with details from her findings with me. Leslie knew every detail to each state and each legal defense that was needed to be discussed and the findings. Her organization of documents and findings were always perfect and presented in the most professional manner. She knew or had the answer to all my needs of defense.There are many traits that people in the legal world have both negative and Positive. Negatives, there honestly are not any negative aspects of the professional lawyer that Leslie is for clients. Positive traits about Leslie include a strong trust for her clients. She is a very good communicator to her client regarding every aspect of the job. Leslie never made me feel that she was doing the job for money, however she learned and understood the full dynamics of what and who she was presenting and she delivered it to the judge as if she was the one defending herself. Leslie had never made the job of being a lawyer un comfortable for me or when my kids were involved. My family knew that Leslie B. Spoltore had my best interest while knowing she was representing a client. Overall, Leslie would receive a grade of A plus if you graded her for how she is as a professional in the legal world. I would hire Leslie again if the situation occurred again. Both Leslie and myself hope that this does not happen which shows what type of lawyer she is to her clients. Leslie is truly a great Lawyer and I would recommend her highly.

Martin Knepper is wonderful. He helped us, with what we would call, a complex personal injury suit that evolved from a serious car accident on Route 95 in Delaware (we were hit by a truck). Unlike other lawyers that I interviewed, and one that I fired, he had a lot of knowledge, and expertise, that other attorneys we had spoken with didn't have.
His negotiation skills, his professionalism, his knowledge, and his fortitude allowed us to succeed in settling our case, in what we considered a fair settlement. A case that involved drivers and companies from multiple states.
This is what distinguishes Martin Knepper from the rest of them. He had knowledge and expertise that other personal injury attorneys did not. I would hire him again, without any hesitation. We are very grateful we found him. We are thrilled with the wonderful job he did.
