Heidi Noll Law, consisting of Heidi Noll and Amy Koren were extremely knowledgeable, attentive, punctual and professional in the handling of my Divorce. Not to mention, they answered all my questions and concerns along with explaining & recommending courses of action.
I highly recommend them, and don’t go the cheap route and regret later with a disastrous outcome.

I cannot thank Heidi and Amy enough for the exceptional support and representation they have provided for my family. Their dedication, professionalism, and compassion have been unmatched throughout this challenging time.
Heidi’s expertise in custody and support matters along with her strategic approach gave me confidence at every step, while Amy’s attention to detail ensured that nothing was overlooked. Together, they make an incredible team, always available to answer questions, explain options, and provide guidance in a way that’s easy to understand during uncertain times.
What sets them apart is their empathy and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. I always feel they truly care about my family’s well-being, not just the legal process. With their collaboration I’ve been able to navigate an elongated emotional situation with confidence and poise.
If you’re looking for attorneys who are not only skilled but also deeply invested in their clients’ success, Heidi and Amy are the best choice in the Lehigh Valley. I’m incredibly grateful for their support and wholeheartedly recommend their legal services for custody, child support, or any family matter that requires elite representation.

Attorney Noll is fierce and knowledgeable. She is well prepared for court proceedings and has always had my best interest in mind. She responds to calls and emails in a very timely manner, including after hours and on weekends, as does Attorney Koren. Attorney Noll has represented me in PFA matters,custody, and divorce. It’s been helpful that she knows the ins and outs of my case from all aspects and can navigate how they affect each other. She is calm and confident, qualities I need in an attorney, especially when I am feeling intimidated by the process or by the defendant. She and Attorney Koren work well together as a cohesive team. They are like a well oiled machine and clearly have things down to a science to achieve best outcomes. I’m very grateful to them both.

I retained Matthew after the initial consultation. Within just a few minutes of speaking to him about my situation, I know he was the guy for the matter. We were able to reach an agreement in a complex custody matter at the first conference due to Matt’s aggressiveness and knowledge of the law. Honest, aggressive, caring, and has a rare spark that makes him stand out. Excellent attorney and a gentleman. 5 Stars!

I cannot say enough about the service that I received from Jason Krasno Esq.. I was injured on the job that I had worked at for 36 years and didn’t know what I was going to do if I couldn’t work and couldn’t obtain a decent settlement. Jason guided me through the process and made me feel comfortable with the way he handled my employers insurance company. In the end, I was truly surprised at the amount that Jason was able to attain on my behalf.. It was about double what I was expecting. From the beginning to the end, through my interactions with Jason and his knowledgeable staff, I don’t believe anything could have gone any better. If I could give 10 stars I would.

At the start of my workman’s comp claim I was terrified, not knowing what to expect. This was the first time in my 20 plus years of working that something like this happened to me, so to say that I was overwhelmed with anxiety about the whole process is an understatement. But since the first moment I spoke to the folks over at K,K and O my mind was put at ease. Everyone from Jason, my attorney Todd McCall to the wonderful paralegals Rachel,Kym and Heather.Todd made sure I understood everything completely and communicated every detail to me step by step. I am very thankful to the team over at K,K and O and would recommend them to anyone 👍🏽

I can’t say enough good things about Matt Mobilio and the team at Mobilio Wood Law Firm. From our first meeting, Matt was not only professional and knowledgeable but truly went above and beyond to ensure I understood every step of the legal process. His dedication to his clients is evident in his clear communication, quick response times, and attention to detail. I felt confident knowing Matt was handling my case with expertise and genuine care. If you’re looking for a lawyer who combines deep knowledge with a personal touch, Matt is the one to call. Highly recommended!

My husband and I recently filed bankruptcy; I personally was very nervous about the process but Lynn put me at ease and walked us through every step.

I would highly recommend Attorney Reich to anyone seeking a highly professional, knowledgeable, and fair attorney. He assisted me with my divorce, child custody, and child support matters. He takes the time to explain all the processes involved in legal matters and gives advice to best help his client, while being cost conscious and providing all alternatives to consider. He has wonderful rapport with his fellow legal colleagues and is well respected by the judges. I started my divorce with another attorney and later transferred my case to Attorney Reich, which was the best decision I could have made. It is truly unfortunate the Lehigh Valley has other legal professionals that thrive on being demeaning and demoralizing in the courtroom to all involved. Attorney Reich will look out for your best interests while still respecting the dignity of all persons you will encounter as you progress through your case. Divorce is a very emotional and complicated process to navigate, Attorney Reich will represent you in a helpful, respectful, and personable manner.

Attorney Reich has helped my tremendously in my child custody case. He is always available to talk to and answer questions. He has made this very difficult process easier and has made me feel comfortable about the decisions I am making. He thoroughly explains everything and has been a true advocate for my situation. He has always been a professional and has done an amazing job with my case. I have already recommended him to people I know and will continue to. I can not say enough how appreciative I am for all of Attorney Reich's hard word and dedication. I never felt like a client, I feel more like a friend!

In a time when stress is at an all time high, you need people like the staff of Lightner Law Office to be there! From the initial phone call all the way through the process, I never felt alone. I could call or email with "dumb" questions or frantic thoughts of panic and EVERY time after, my mind and heart were at ease. Andrea is simply the best and Thom, Sue & Amanda are top notch!!! I never felt like I was being a bother with my many questions and no matter what "weird" situation I THOUGHT I had, they assured me that it was a normal question and provided me with a reassuring answer. If you are left with bankruptcy as your only viable option, do not hesitate to retain this firm. If will be the best decision you've made in a long time and you will literally feel the weight lift from your shoulders!!!

Attorneys and staff are very knowledgeable and efficient. We are extremely pleased with how our case was handled and the professionalism extended to us. You must do what they ask of you in order for the process to run smoothly and in a timely manner. Remember they are there to request documents and put it all together and file the necessary paperwork. It is a team effort but without their knowledge and expertise nothing gets accomplished! We are very pleased we contacted them! Thank you all for the great work!!

Attorney Driscole is an excellent lawyer! I hired him in 2018 to help me with my case. Before hiring Rory, I interviewed several other lawyers. I choose Rory because he is professional, has attention to detail, and is commitment to his clients needs. Rory understood my situation, explained the reasons and solutions, and he got it done!

In my opinion, Allen Tullar is one of the best Family law Attorneys in the Lehigh Valley. I came to Attorney Tullar with a very difficult Child Custody case and he took the time to listen to me, give me advice on the proper course of action to take and even allowed me to bend his ear when things seemed like they were going wrong but we're really going the way they were supposed to go. Allen and his firm are professional, compassionate and a pleasure to work with. They care about you as a client and not just about the billable hours. If you need compassionate yet aggressive family law representation, call Attorney Tullar before your spouse does.

Terrible attorney! Don’t waste your money! She was great before we paid her and as soon as she got our money she pretty much didn’t care about my case! She acted like the da and not my attorney and in court I did most of the talking thank god or I would’ve went upstate for a dui!!! Don’t waste your money!! She’ll say all the right things and answer your calls and texts before you pay her and once you pay you’ll feel straight up abandoned! In the courtroom you can tell she’s extremely new or just plain not very good!! Beware of this lady, she’s no good! If I could give her zero stars I would!

Lance Gordon and Jordan Augustus are an exceptional team, providing outstanding representation with a blend of experience and authenticity. I am deeply grateful for everything you have done for me. Lance, your honesty and transparency from the beginning were invaluable. You guided me through the process with clear advice, managing my expectations about relocation while encouraging trust in the journey. Your commitment and integrity were evident every step of the way.
Jordan, your sharpness, organization, attention to detail, tenacity, and compassion have been remarkable. I cannot thank you enough for your pivotal role in keeping my family together. Child custody cases involving relocation are among the most challenging, and I am eternally grateful to have had your expertise and support throughout. We navigated this journey together, and words cannot fully express how much this outcome means to me.
I highly recommend this law firm. Lance, Jordan, and the entire team ensured I felt heard and supported at every stage. Achieving primary physical custody is a significant privilege, and I am honored to have worked with such a dedicated and professional group.

My husband and myself hired Attorney Stirba about 6 yrs.ago for a criminal drug case. I was immediately impressed with his work, knowledge, and his manor in which he communicated with clients. In 3 short days our son returned home for Mother's Day.
I have since hired Attorney Stirba for an arbitrary case in which I am pleased to say his great skills as a Attorney has ended that case in our favor.
Just recently, Attorney Stirba has won a 1st and 2nd DUI refusal case. I trust Attorney Al Stirba with any case he truly is #1 Best Attorney.

Steve Bergstein was my legal representative, and initially, I believed him to be both an honest lawyer and a decent person. However, after paying him a sum exceeding $50,000, I uncovered that he billed me twice for the identical legal issue. His reaction? "I'm retired, and I extended a discount to you. Best of luck."
I had anticipated a higher level of integrity and decency from someone whom I entrusted and paid handsomely to represent me during a challenging period in my life. It's evident that greed and ambition clouded his judgment.

Steve Bergstein was our attorney for a bad faith case against a large insurance company. Through the process, which took some time, he was able to slowly unravel the deceit. Court was incredibly interesting and terrifying at the same time; however, Atty Bergstein was able to help us emotionally through the process from beginning to end, explaining everything in detail. Attentiveness to detail of the case was far above superb! We won our case against the big guys! I would recommend this law firm to everyone for your legal needs. If they do not work your area of interest, they will make sure you are referred appropriately. Highly recommended!!

Does not stand up for the children in the Juvenile Dependency system. Goes against a child's best interest, doesn't worry about their mental health and overall well being. Is overworked as a GAL and sides with CPS doesn't care to place children with Kinship over foster care. Would rather make the tax payers pay to lock kids up and keep them from family. Cruel world behind the closed doors of the JD system that no one sees. I do not expect retaliation for this review against my family that is currently involved with CPS.

My husband and I had 2 retain counsel for a civil suit w/a disgruntled ex friend who made bs allegations, & was trying to take 1 of my 3 dogs, who happened to be my service dog. We hired Mr. Attorney Cook, who told us he'd knock it outta the ball park and boy did he follow through!! And I really definitely just can't say enough about Lauren's grace, compassion, and overall pleasing personality!! She dealt w/me ALOT & never once got miserable & if she was annoyed she never showed it!! I felt like she was our personal cheerleader & believe me I'm sure I drove her nuts w/all my worries about Daisy, and she was very true 2 her word also when she said she'd be team Daisy 4ever!!
I really cant say enough about their professionalism, compassion, team work, etc..
There's a million lawyer jokes out there but Attorney Cook doesn't fit the mold of any of them!! He is a fantastic lawyer with a genuine understanding of the law who loves what he does and couldn't be more honest & legit if he tried!! Lauren once told me he's a good honest man that we could trust. She was right!!
And she is just as good & honest, I hope she never 4gets that!! I would totally want her as a friend if they'd be open 2 it. Thank you so much to the both of you!! You guys really took a horrible, horrible situation and turned it into something great through your dedication, commitment & hard work!! I really felt like We & Daisy were of the utmost importance & always the top of your priority list even though I obviously know you guys had other cases to handle. That's when you know you chose the right Attorney when not only does he make you feel that way but the rest of the people in the office you interact with make you feel that way also!! Great work you two, i will definitely recommend you to anyone who'll listen, so selfishly I hope you dont retire for a good long while!! Thank you again!!

What a Family Law Lawyer Can Do for You
A family law lawyer provides legal services related to family relationships, including marriage, divorce, child custody, and adoption. Family lawyers help clients navigate emotionally charged legal issues, providing guidance and representation in disputes that affect spouses, children, and parents. Whether you're going through a divorce, seeking custody of your children, or drafting a prenuptial agreement, a family law lawyer ensures your rights are protected and your interests are represented.
Family law attorneys often handle sensitive matters and offer objective legal advice, helping clients reach fair outcomes either through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
When Should I Hire a Family Law Lawyer?
Hiring a family law lawyer is beneficial in several situations, especially when legal matters involve close personal relationships. Common reasons to hire a family law lawyer include:
- Divorce or separation: When ending a marriage, a lawyer can help you navigate issues such as division of assets, spousal support, and child custody arrangements.
- Child custody and visitation disputes: If you and your co-parent can't agree on custody or visitation, a lawyer can represent your interests and work toward a solution that benefits your children.
- Child support: Whether you’re seeking child support or defending against a claim, a lawyer can help ensure the appropriate amount is calculated and enforced.
- Prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: A lawyer can help draft or review agreements that protect your assets in case of divorce.
- Adoption: Family law lawyers guide you through the legal process of adoption, ensuring that all requirements are met.

How Are Family Law Lawyers Paid?
Family law lawyers typically charge clients in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Most family lawyers charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and location. Clients are billed for the time spent working on their case, including consultations, court appearances, and document preparation.
- Flat fees: For more straightforward legal services, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, some lawyers offer flat-fee arrangements.
- Retainer fees: In cases that are expected to require significant time and attention, such as contentious custody battles, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers the initial costs of legal services. The lawyer then bills against the retainer as they work on your case.
The exact cost will depend on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure, which should be discussed upfront.

Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer
Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved. -
What are the possible outcomes of my case?
An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases. -
Who will be handling my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work, so make sure you understand who will be your main point of contact.
How to Check the Credibility of a Family Law Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.

- Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
- List of assets and debts: For divorce cases, prepare a detailed list of all assets (e.g., homes, bank accounts, retirement funds) and debts (e.g., mortgages, loans, credit card balances).
- Details of the family issue: Provide a written summary of the situation, including key dates and facts related to your divorce, custody dispute, or support issue.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes.
- Your goals: Be prepared to discuss your objectives, such as custody arrangements, property division, or spousal support, so the lawyer understands your priorities.
Being organized and clear about your situation will help the lawyer evaluate your case more effectively and offer the best advice for moving forward.
