I met with Jennifer after my disappointment with my two year experience with another attorney. At my first meeting with Jen, she knew more about my case from reviewing before our meeting than my previous attorney had obtained over the course of two years. Right away I could tell she was very organized, prepared and focused on me and what she could do for me. She is very professional and straightforward. She also is very passionate about justice and is very empathetic and compassionate. She was excellent and thorough with communicating and also listening . I never felt hurried or confused about what was happening. Within three weeks from our initial meeting, I was in her office signing a divorce agreement. She moves swiftly and confidently, reading between the lines and checking all the boxes. She got me a better offer than I initially expected and I didn’t have to worry about any loose ends. She is all around an amazing person to have on your side, whatever the reason. My experience was a ten out of ten.

Her guidance and expertise allowed me to be more at ease with the legal process and focus on moving forward. She is an advocate that goes above and beyond for her clients.

I contacted Joshua originally back in 2016 about a matter. He walked me through the process and met every goal he said he would. All I had to do was follow his lead. He is extremely knowledgeable and seemed to know the answer to any question I could throw at him. His office was very organized and nobody ever missed a beat. This was long process since it was dealing with the state. He told me how long it would be right from the start. I never had any surprises and years later I've finally received my very favorable outcome. This guy is a bulldog and I would absolutely trust him with any matter going forward.

After being denied the ability to make a firearm purchase, I looked around for legal help. Joshua’s name came up a lot so I called his office and scheduled a consultation call. In addition to putting my mind at ease, Joshua made me very confident that hiring him to assist with my appeal would give me my best chance at reversal. I was not wrong, I’m currently holding my reversal letter and a legally purchased firearm. I would recommend to anyone needing assistance with a gun related legal concern to stop thinking and stressing and call Joshua to see what he can do for you.

The bureaucracy thought they could try to take away my 2nd amendment rights because of some bogus charges brought against me due to local police trying to save themselves from embarrassment. Joshua was able to author a very specific and detailed letter to the state police that got my firearm rights restored. As far as I'm concerned there are no other 2A rights lawyers in the state that compare to Joshua and his staff. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. I was dumbfounded how quick and easy it was to make an appointment as well; other lawyers I called didn't even answer nor return my call after leaving a voicemail. I only wish we had lawyers with as much experience and proficiency on my side of the state.

After years of not getting anywhere with another lawyer. I spoke with McKenzie, and he assured we would get past points of friction regarding my divorce. McKenzie called me and asked me what I was trying to do or what I needed to settle. He was very thorough and precise in his questions towards, and he seemed genuine and empathetic told him we had been separated for 3 years and I did not want anything except to be divorced. After much push back from the opposing counsel, McKenzie fought for me and ensured I didn’t give anything else up. When the MSA was received it was exactly what I needed and wanted to move forward with the divorce. In just a matter of time, I had my final MSA and my divorce was finalized. I spent money on an attorney prior and she never fought for me or asked what I needed. Every time I asked, she told me that we would talk after, and we never did. McKenzie on the other hand was extremely transparent and notified me right away about the negotiation process with opposing counsel. He showed me what a lawyer should do for a client, and I will definitely be recommending him to people in need of a lawyer. Sergio

I consulted with, and ultimately hired Mr. Jeremy Snyder and his team at Military Law. He represented me throughout an investigation and ultimately a general court martial. He regularly communicated with me when ver the course of a long investigation, easing my mind on where my case stood. When the case was referred to court martial, he reviewed all the evidence and put forth the best case possible. At conclusion, I was found not guilty on all accounts. It is truly my belief that without Jeremy and his team, I would not have achieved the result I’d always been hopeful of. Cannot recommend enough.

Ronald J Fichera will not only fearlessly defend you; he will mediate brilliantly on your behalf. Ron is tireless and relentless. He never gives up or backs down because he holds himself to the highest personal ethics. He is also an aesthete and scholar, conducting Shakespeare lectures in his spare time. If you want a precision instrument that will achieve victorious results for you, either in the courtroom or legislatively, hire Ron Fichera. His opponents fear him because he will defend you to the end. And he does so with phenomenal eloquence and style. His compassion for you is the glue that will hold him to your case.

I have retained T for over 15 years or so. I'd like to think I can judge an attorney's quality. Through the years, I have worked and been friends with numerous attorneys who are considered excellent by their own peers....including Harvard Law, major Wall St firms and Europe in many facets of the practice. Further, my father was in the judiciary and I think I have a pretty good understanding of what it takes to be exceptional. If someone asks me who my attorney is (although I use several for various specialties,) I say Theresa. T has gone above and beyond so many times for friends and myself. If I chose one special quality in addition to her utter competency and professionalism it is TRUST. I have known T's family since I was a child and law is in their blood. Just good people. We have all heard the nefarious remarks about attorney's and their kinship to sharks. T couldn't be farther from this stigma. I sat with Theresa this week to discuss some business matters and it was more like having coffee with a friend. No rush. I have walked courthouses with Theresa, and, it is obvious she is well known and well respected by the many walking the halls. And, the bonus is Autumn and Jen are the best! I noted the comments by the person (since disproven) which said she did not return calls, etc. Hello? Have you ever worked with an atty before? An atty does not call back unless they have something to tell you. Think about it.....legal wheels turn slow...it saves you billing for wasted phone time . A unique thing with T's staff is they are "up-to-speed" at all times....I can't tell you how many times I have called with a question and they dealt with it in a 30-second call. You won't get that with most attorneys. The office is run like a family....just what you want when dealing with nerve-wracking issues. Professional, classy, thorough....pals. Recommended unequivocally.

He was also very kind and thoughtful to our family during this extremely stressful process. I don’t know what we would have done with out his level of expertise in the area of IEP‘s and making the educational institution accountable for their actions. We are Very thankful to him for his countless hours of hard work, his high level of expertise to guide us through this very trying time. I would highly recommend Mr. Cook.

Attorney Ronald Tomasko represented me on my lengthy Workers' Compensation case. Ron is well versed and extremely knowledgeable with all aspects of Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Law. Ron traveled a three hour round trip distance, (at least a dozen times) to represent me before the Workers' Compensation Judge. He was always well prepared and on time.

Mr. Tomasko resolved a complex contract dispute for me, during which I found him to be the consummate professional. The thoroughness of his preparation for hearings and courtroom proceedings was impressive. Exhibits were organized, relevant, timely, and effective. And I was completely satisfied with the outcome. His interaction with myself as a client was likewise very positive. My calls to his office were always taken when placed or promptly returned. He explained the pertinent legal issues clearly and patiently and he demonstrated sincere interest in my case. I do (and often have) recommend Ron Tomasko unreservedly.

Mr. Sapienza is the most honest, straight forward, no holds barred man I have ever met. I was hurt at work in 1999. I had 3 back surgeries between 2000 and 2002 and I was only in my early twenties and couldn't work. I applied for social security disability and was denied. I knew it was time to find an attorney and get the legal help I needed. Two small mouths at home to feed and a husband that was working 3 jobs just to keep food in our mouths was the hard journey we were facing. When I first met Mr. Sapienza he told me he would take my case, but that we had a hard fight ahead of us. He told me I had two strikes against me already, one, I was young and two, I didn't look like I was disabled. I just wanted to cry. I couldn't lift over 5lbs, I had to have help washing my hair and I could even pick up my two young daughters. Mr. Sapienza looked at and said " I said it wasn't going to be easy, but I will fight for you!" I felt a wave of relief and the journey started. I called Mr. Sapienza frequently frustrated with the slow government process and each time he took my calls or called me back within 24 hours. Each time he answered ALL my questions, explained all the technical jargon in laymans terms and would tell me to hang in there and not give up. We filled out form after form and waited patiently for the next step. In the end we ended up in Pittsburgh in front of the Workers Compensation review board, I underwent a gruelling physical and demanding questions all with my smiling, encouraging attorney by my side. I was determined disabled and started to cry. It is one thing to know you have disabilities, but its something totally different to be told that you are basically useless. I thanked Mr. Sapienza for sticking by me with all the odds against me and for putting up with all my neurotic pestering. I stayed on Disability until around 2005 and many bouts of physical therapy. I have since gone back to work, took college courses for a medical career and have been working ever since for a local doctors office. Mr. Sapienza taught me that a disability isn't my life, it's just a stepping stone along the way. Thank you again Mr. Sapienza, you are an absolutely amazing attorney, man and all around human being. God bless.

I've been using Mr. Sapienza for years. For all my needs. A personal matter came up with one of my children. Something that you think never happens. Mr. Sapienza took my call and helped me stay calm till we meet the following day. He went to bat once again and assured us that the issue would get handled. And of course it did. He took the time to meet with us and help us through everything. My family will always trust and use Attorney Sapienza.

A year ago, I found myself in a tough position. I had just gotten a DUI, and as a member of the armed forces I was notified that my security clearance would be under review. My job in the military is my sole source of income, and if I lost my security clearance, rightfully so I would lose my position. I was told that I had thirty days to provide a rebuttal, so I had to act fast. I knew I needed a lawyer with an extensive background in security clearance law. I did some research, and within a few days I had found Mr. Ciuca. Once I contacted Tony and explained my situation, he wasted no time at all. Within a week, he helped me gather all of the paperwork I needed and provided me with an outline of how he was going to draft my rebuttal to the security clearance review board. Soon after, he authored a rebuttal letter for me, and after a day or two, I submitted my final response to the review board. A few months later, I was notified that I would be able to keep my security clearance. I can’t express the gratitude that I have for Tony. He was right there with me every step of the way, and wasted no time. His speedy and well drafted response helped to save my career, and for that I will be forever grateful.

I was pleased with the outcome because he believed in me and fought for me until he was able to come to an understanding that both the DA and I could accept. This was not a plea bargain either!

Attorney Sembrot, through his extensive legal knowledge and personal dedication, secured for me a favorable resolution of two misdemeanor criminal charges. Throughout his representation, he was both incredibly approachable and communicative, updating me of my case progress, while simultaneously helping to ease the tension that naturally accompanies any criminal charge. His mastery of PA criminal procedure and his kind demeanor made him both a tremendous legal asset as well as an excellent guide. The criminal arena at first seemed counter intuitive and insurmountable. Attorney Sembrot changed that by bringing perspective and a sense of security. For those reasons, I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone needing an exceptional legal team.

Linda is extremely thorough and knowledgeable. She was very persistent about checking the footprint of the property during inspection and thank goodness as the deed of record was incorrect and needed to be amended. She kept everything else in check and is very responsive whatever the time of day. It is obvious that Linda enjoys her work, but more importantly it is clear that she takes great pride in doing things to the very best of her ability. She demonstrates great integrity and is very much in control of any situation.

Attorney Matt Rudzki solicited me by mail after I had moved into my new home in August. He had indicated in a well written letter that he felt that my home assessment may be too high and that we could discuss whether we wanted to appeal. I called matt and he was very upfront about what he thought we may be able to do to save money on my real estate and school taxes. He was very upfront about his compensation and worked with me to determine which compensation structure would likely benefit me most. He researched comparable properties and attended a hearing on my behalf. He followed up with each phase of this process and indicated that he would request a reduction in my assessment with both the municipality and the school district. He was successful in receiving an adjustment for this current year but also in future years that will result in refunds this year as well as reduced adjusted bills for next year and likely many years to come. The cost of his services was less than my first years refunds and my future savings annually is quite significant. I am so pleased with his professional, his follow up and his cost structure, that I have and will continue to refer him to neighbors and friends. I know it can be a scary thing to enter into a business relationship with an attorney because of the unknown. My experience with matt has changed that opinion greatly and look forward to working with him again in the future. Feel confident that you will be treaded professionally and fairly when you deal with Matt Rudzki.

The best professional decision I have made in a 19+ year career on active duty was to hire Jaclyn to represent me when I was facing a career-threatening administrative action. Jaclyn is the most accessible and honest professional that I have ever worked with, and without her assistance in resolving my case I don’t know if I would have been able to make it to retirement. During the several months of investigation and suspension of favorable actions, Jaclyn was truly the only person who was on my side; even members of my command said that hiring an outside attorney was the best decision I made and a major factor that influenced the favorable result. No matter the need for counsel, you are not going to find a more professional, accessible, and accountable confidant than Jaclyn, she literally saved me and my family’s career.

Isolation may not have stopped immediately at work, but feeling alone and unheard quickly changed the second I began communicating with Jaclyn. She fought tirelessly, even when I just had nothing left in the tank. If you're looking up lawyers, chances are you know you need a lawyer, but you can't commit just yet because you don't care, or you just think your situation is a lost cause. That's where I was, but the more I read her background, and history of the entire firm, I committed to it. After the consultation, it confirmed that not only did I need a lawyer, but that I needed her. She took ownership of the entire thing. She was genuinely offended by not only the claim, but the entire premise of the poor leadership and investigatory process I had to deal with. Once I hired her, she got right to work, informed all parties to include legal, investigatory, and leadership that anything regarding legal matters would need to be directed towards her. She crosses all t's and dots all i's. When the cards were stacked against me, she picked and poked at each of those cards and 1 by 1 exploited them until the prosecution had nothing left except what they started with, a false claim with no factual substance. I don't know where I want my career to head from this point, but I now have control of my career again. That is almost completely if not all attributed to Jaclyn Grieser, her dedication, work ethic, fierce stance on justice, and commitment to me as her client

What a Government Lawyer Can Do for You

A government lawyer specializes in legal issues related to government policies, regulations, and disputes involving public entities. Whether you are a private individual, business, or government agency, a government lawyer provides expert guidance on navigating the complexities of government law. These attorneys handle cases ranging from constitutional law, administrative law, regulatory compliance, and government contracts to defending or challenging government actions.

Government lawyers help individuals and organizations understand their rights and obligations under the law, represent them in disputes with government agencies, and assist in matters of government contracting, procurement, or public policy.

When Should I Hire a Government Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a government lawyer in several situations involving government regulations, compliance, or disputes. Common reasons to hire a government lawyer include:

  • Government contracts and procurement: If you are bidding for or negotiating a contract with a government agency, a lawyer can help ensure compliance with federal, state, or local contracting rules.
  • Regulatory compliance: Businesses operating in highly regulated industries (e.g., healthcare, finance, environmental sectors) often need legal guidance to comply with government regulations and avoid penalties.
  • Government investigations: If you're being investigated by a government agency such as the IRS, SEC, or EPA, a government lawyer can help defend you against allegations or negotiate settlements.
  • Challenging government actions: If a government agency has denied a permit, license, or benefit, a lawyer can help you appeal or challenge the decision in court.
  • Constitutional and civil rights issues: If you believe your constitutional rights have been violated by a government entity, such as in cases involving free speech or discrimination, a government lawyer can help you seek justice.
  • Public policy or lobbying efforts: If you are involved in lobbying or advocating for policy changes at the local, state, or federal level, a government lawyer can provide legal advice on compliance with lobbying laws and strategies for effective advocacy.

Hiring a government lawyer early in the process can help you navigate complex legal frameworks and avoid costly mistakes when dealing with government-related legal issues.

What Does a Government Lawyer Do?

A government lawyer provides a wide range of services that cover interactions between individuals, businesses, and government entities. They can:

  • Assist with government contracts: Helping clients navigate procurement laws, drafting contracts, and resolving disputes related to government contracting.
  • Provide regulatory compliance advice: Offering guidance on meeting regulatory requirements for industries subject to federal, state, or local laws.
  • Handle administrative law matters: Representing clients before government agencies, such as appealing administrative decisions, applying for permits, or defending against regulatory enforcement actions.
  • Challenge or defend government actions: Representing clients in lawsuits involving government agencies, including constitutional challenges, civil rights violations, or disputes over government decisions.
  • Negotiate settlements with government entities: If a government agency is pursuing legal action against you or your business, a lawyer can negotiate settlements to avoid costly litigation.
  • Advocate for policy changes: Advising clients on legal strategies for influencing public policy, including lobbying and drafting legislation.
  • Litigate constitutional issues: Handling cases related to the Constitution, such as First Amendment rights, due process violations, or unlawful government actions.

How Are Government Lawyers Paid?

Government lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the nature of the legal work involved. Common payment structures include:

  • Hourly rate: For ongoing legal matters, such as regulatory compliance or government contract disputes, lawyers may charge by the hour. Hourly rates can vary depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
  • Flat fee: For specific services, such as drafting a government contract or filing an administrative appeal, some lawyers charge a flat fee.
  • Retainer: For clients who need ongoing legal support, such as businesses frequently interacting with government agencies, a lawyer may charge a retainer fee. This is an upfront payment that covers future legal services.
  • Contingency fee: In some cases involving litigation, such as civil rights violations, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case.

It’s important to discuss fee structures with your lawyer during the initial consultation to avoid surprises.

How Much Does a Government Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a government lawyer depends on the complexity of the legal issue, the lawyer's experience, and their fee structure. Here are some general cost estimates:

  • Hourly rates: Government lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
  • Flat fees: For specific legal services, such as drafting a government contract, flat fees can range from $1,000 to $5,000, depending on the nature of the service.
  • Retainer fees: A retainer for ongoing legal work with government agencies can range from $5,000 to $20,000 or more, depending on the scope and frequency of the work.
  • Contingency fees: In cases where a lawyer works on contingency, their fee is usually a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or damages awarded if the case is successful.

Be sure to get a clear estimate of costs during your consultation to ensure that you understand the fees associated with your case.

Top Questions to Ask a Government Lawyer

When hiring a government lawyer, it’s essential to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and skills needed for your specific situation. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What is your experience with government law cases?
    Make sure the lawyer has substantial experience in handling cases or issues involving government agencies, regulatory compliance, or constitutional law.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Ask how the lawyer charges for their services - whether by the hour, flat fee, retainer, or contingency fee - and request an estimate of costs.
  3. What are the potential outcomes of my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your legal options and the likelihood of success based on your specific situation.
  4. How do you handle interactions with government agencies?
    Ask about their approach to dealing with government entities and their experience with specific agencies relevant to your case (e.g., IRS, EPA, SEC).
  5. Have you handled cases like mine before?
    Ask about their experience with similar cases and whether they have achieved favorable outcomes in the past.
  6. Who will handle my case?
    Clarify whether the lawyer you are meeting with will personally handle your case or whether junior attorneys or paralegals will do most of the work.

How to Check the Credibility of a Government Lawyer

To ensure you’re hiring a reputable government lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:

  • Check state bar association records: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Review their professional experience: Look for specific experience in government-related legal issues, such as regulatory compliance, government contracts, or administrative law, on their website or professional profile.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Check online reviews and ratings on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to get insight into the lawyer’s reputation and track record.
  • Ask for references: Request references from previous clients who have worked with the lawyer on government-related matters to understand their experience and effectiveness.
  • Check for membership in relevant organizations: Look for memberships in professional organizations such as the American Bar Association's Administrative Law Section or the National Institute of Government Procurement, which can indicate the lawyer’s focus on government law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first meeting with a government lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant information and documents. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Detailed description of your legal issue: Be prepared to explain your situation, whether it’s a regulatory compliance question, a government contract issue, or a dispute with a government agency.
  • Relevant documents: Bring any paperwork related to your case, such as contracts, permits, letters from government agencies, or notices of investigation.
  • A list of questions: Write down any questions you have about your case, including the legal process, potential outcomes, and costs.
  • Timeline of events: Provide a clear timeline of any relevant events, such as the issuance of government orders or interactions with government agencies.
