I contacted Dan regarding dividing my family's 40 acre farmland in
Berks County many years ago. As a California real estate broker, I needed a PA attorney to make it happen. To make a long story short.

Integrity, experience, commitment and a winning attitude! That's Dan.

Best military lawyer you will find. Very knowledgeable and experienced. What I like about Chris is he's will be completely honest with you and knows what adverse effect each thing has to it. Always answers your calls if he doesn't texts/calls you back within minutes. Very well connected considering his background in the Pentagon and willing to pull string if need be. I knew immediately when I was calling around for my situation that he would be the attorney I hire.

Atty. Gough is a top lawyer, he tells you how it is whether that is good or bad but he does it with a lot of compassion. I have never met a lawyer quite like him. He puts his all into everything he does, you can tell he believes in the work he does and fights as hard as he can for his clients.my case went on for years. I don't think I would have gotten through it with any other attorney. When I got down about things he picked me up and made me stronger. With all the things that I had to worry about, the one thing I knew I could count on was Attorney Gough.I trusted him so much and respected his intelligence that when I needed an attorney for Social Security I went with the firm he belongs too. I will say it again I never met a tougher more compassionate and trustworthy person like attorney Peter Gough

Jaimie George, of Olds Russ & Associates, did an excellent job with my case. Ms. George took my case after two other attorneys told me my chances of recovery were slim to none in my employee discrimination suit for wrongful termination, and she got me the exact results I wanted in terms of a settlement.
Jaimie took the time to listen to the facts. She was able to get my recovery by turning my previous employer's information against me in my favor. She went up against a very large company and was successful in doing so.
I highly recommend Jaimie George. She is a very honest and intelligent attorney. Her gusto in my case, her ability to really listen to me and do research on her own on my behalf, and her knowledge and skill with the law made her the perfect attorney for my employee discrimination suit.
I will always be grateful to Ms. George for providing a just end to my case. It was amazing to gain vindication from someone just as dedicated as I was to getting it.

I recently attended a party and within 20 minutes of getting there, the police were on the scene. Unfortunately, for me I was at the wrong place at the wrong time. A few weeks after the party and to my surprise, I received a citation for underage possession and consumption of alcohol.
A friend who he represented in a different case recommended attorney Creigh Martson. Attorney Martson was professional, knowledgeable, direct and concise. I was leaving for college in two months and was worried that I would lose my license. He was direct and straightforward with his answers. He listened attentively and was empathetic to my situation. He offered several options and gave different scenarios on how the case could go. I also felt he was sincerely interested in me as a person, who I was, what my goals were and interest.
The next day he followed up by email and had the hearing schedule for two weeks following. During the two weeks he followed up with emails updating me on the case. To my satisfaction, the case was won in my favor.
I cannot thank him enough!

Creigh was very helpful in my second DUI case. I have a professional license and it was imperative that I was able to be well represented. Creigh reviewed all scenarios good and bad with me, and he even made suggestions for me to take action early on in the process to avoid jail time. He made no promises he couldn't keep, and was very thorough in my case. I'm aware that he has many cases to deal with, but when we were together, I felt like I was the only caseload he was working on. I would definitely use Creigh again in the future.

I was fortunate enough to have Daniel recommended to me by a friend to handle a custody case. Over the 6+ months that the case was ongoing, I was continually impressed by Daniel's attention to detail, prompt and easy to understand communications and our daughter's best interest in mind. I had used another lawyer in the past who was all about making sure the other party was "made to pay" and that is not who I am and I find that quite petty. Daniel's ability to keep me focused and moving forward did not go unnoticed. I am incredibly pleased with my overall experience. Through Daniel's encouragement, with his blessing and under his watchful eye, our case was settled out of court, between the people who know our daughter best- her parents, and I honestly believe based on my experience with the previous lawyer, that this was the BEST outcome, and left our child and extended families with a positive impression of parents working together. Our parenting plan is as close to what I was looking for as was possible with the other party, and I am happy to recommend Daniel to anyone! A few side notes; Daniel's office always has parking and is super easy to find. Daniel's willingness to communicate via email and phone and not "drag" me into the office all the time was super convenient. His front office staff is not overly friendly, especially on the phone, but definitely know their stuff. Lastly, the book of lawyer jokes in the waiting room is AWESOME!

I first met Jim when I was working for Provident National Bank now known as PNC. That was over 20 years ago. Never did I expect to need to hire an attorney but now that I need to do it I immediately thought of Jim. His reputation precedes him. I knew I would be in good hands with him representing me. He simply is the best. His professional demeanor is outstanding. I haven’t yet retained him because I am not ready to move forward because of pending surgeries but I wouldn’t consider anyone else.

I am writing to provide some personal comments about the legal work provided by Dennis McCooe, Esq. to my husband and business partner Peter. In 2004, my husband’s life work was taken by the company that manufactures his furniture designs. Because we couldn’t afford to engage an attorney to protect his work, the company continued to knock off his designs and not pay the agreed upon royalties. In 2013, we contacted Philadelphia Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts (PVLA) seeking pro bono legal assistance to enforce his rights. From the moment we met Dennis McCooe, our situation started turning around. Dennis suggested we create a timeline of Peter's work, with images and dates. Then he asked us to do the same for the knockoff furniture. We collected and collated 30 years of magazine articles and design books to establish Peter’s work and brand identity prior to commencing his relationship with the offending company. Having gathered all the facts, we traveled together to Lancaster, PA for a negotiation with the offending company and its attorney. After the material was presented, Mr. McCooe asked one question, “If this dispute were to go to trial, and a jury saw this information, how do you think the verdict would go?” Dennis’s clever strategy resulted first in the payment of back royalties and then to a new royalty agreement ratified by the company.
Unbeknownst to us, the company was getting ready to file bankruptcy, which they did in late 2014, while still owing us a great deal of money. Instead of backing away from this case, Dennis and Blank Rome petitioned the creditors of the bankruptcy for the tooling and molds that Peter had designed and made. Because of this intervention, the court released these items. Our life today is much improved. We have a new factory working with us and Peter has a new studio with the equipment we obtained from the bankruptcy proceeding. None of this would have been possible without the generous and steadfast support of our counsel, Dennis McCooe. We will forever be in his debt and hope that he remains a friend for life. We must also thank Blank Rome for its generosity and commitment to bringing justice for artists through the PVLA.

Phil has been a good friend of mine for more than 30 years, He has always had the biggest heart of any person I ever knew. He carries this over into his law practice. He has a thorough knowledge of the law, and if he doesn't, he'll find out. He stood up for me on things, where I was willing to settle on what the court suggests, and in every case, got me the more favourable ruling. He always has my best interest as his top priority. I consider him a life long friend and this was long before he worked the complete representation of my case.

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:
-
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. -
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. -
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. -
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). -
Have you handled cases like mine before?
Ask about their experience with similar cases and whether they have achieved favorable outcomes in the past. -
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.
- Goals for the outcome: Be ready to discuss what you hope to achieve, whether it’s a favorable settlement, regulatory compliance, or overturning a government decision.
By being organized and prepared, you can help your lawyer understand your situation more quickly and give you the best legal advice moving forward.
