In July of 2024, I was involved in a 3 car accident that could have gone terribly wrong. I was mailed multiple citations that would have ended my driving privileges. Also in the mail was an advertisement from Mr. Katz Law Office. Thank God I decided to acquire him, beacuse he was able to get all tickets dismissed due to negligence. The small fee was worth it. I'd rather have him fighting for me than to go in alone not knowing what my fate will be. I always say, money comes and goes, so pay for good representation to keep that cycle running.

Accused of rolling stop sign. Pulled over and issued 3 points plus the $171 ticket. Elliott told me he'd do his best to have the ticket reduced to no points and I'd still pay the fine. I am good with that. Day of the hearing - he calls - case dismissed entirely. No points. No ticket ever existed according to record now. #LEGEND - Best Chester County traffic attorney hands down. Amazing. THANK YOU

On May 30th, 2024 I was involved in an automobile accident.
The State Police Officer, who investigated wrote a ticket on me based on a witness who said I was speeding.
I had received a brochure in the mail from the law firm of Ellis B Klein and Associates stating that they would represent me incourt, and that I did not need to be present at the hearing.
My case was finally heard today and needless to say I was found not guilty and the potential 3 points were not put on my driving record.
I would definitely recommend this law firm .

Rob is fantastic. He helped me tremendously with a case many years ago, and luckily I haven’t needed his expertise since then, lol. Recently I did have an issue that needed to be resolved immediately, I had no time to waste. I texted Rob that I needed help and he was able to call me at 9am before his busy day in court that consisted of many cases that were not mine. He was able to give me the advice that I needed and from there I was able to move forward and clear everything up for myself. Thanks for the wise words Rob.

My husband was caught with distributing drugs and was facing a mandatory of 24 months in jail. We have two little girls and I automatically assumed my life would turn upside down. I contacted my uncle who hired Ben Datika in the past for his sons case. Long story short Ben Datika comforted me and promised me that he will do his best on my husbands case. It is very hard for us financially and I explained this along with our other family issues to Ben and he went above and beyond trying to calm me down and work out a payment plan with me. I really appreciate everything you have done for my husband and myself. Ben came through with his promise and worked out a deal were my husband would only serve 30 days in jail with no probation. I cant thank you enough being a stay at home mom me and my daughters can not wait for there dad to be home. My entire family thanks you.

The best experience during a worst case scenario. My son was facing false allegations of a Title IX violation. We researched and consulted several leading legal advisors throughout the country. Several took the approach of "fear factoring" us into needing their legal services but didn't necessarily express a true regard for my son's state of mind. After initially speaking with Atty. Joseph Lento, and immediately being treated with the utmost sincerity and having been acknowledged for our feelings with the matter, we felt we would be moving forward with obtaining their counsel. They even granted a follow-up call waiving an additional consultation fee to allow us the opportunity to address a few points with no pressure to choose their firm. At that point, we knew they had more interest in our comfort level and goals than simply collecting a payment. Once on board, we were assigned to Kyle Adams, who had the knowledge and expertise in this area of law and whom was an absolute pleasure to work with. He made himself available in the evenings, weekends and on his direct cell via telephone, Zoom, as well as in-person simply at our request to ensure my son was comfortable, even though he was over 2 hours away. Kyle's client-centered approach made a significant difference in his case, from a thorough investigation, supportive evidence, and his skillful negotiation helping him achieve a quick resolution to obtain our desired outcome of a withdrawal of the claim. Thanks to the Lento Law Firm and their Atty. Kyle Adams expertise, my son avoided severe academic penalties, if this wasn't handled with the care and diligent efforts that were needed to navigate this endeavor. In the end, my son had regained his reputation and respect of his friends and peers. I cannot express my most heartfelt, and sincere gratefulness for all that was done. We will only reach out to Lento Law Firm and his team if we are ever in need of legal services going forward. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Nearly a year ago, our son and brother found himself on the wrong side of the law, in what appeared to be a hopeless situation. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of Mr. Valsamidis and Mr. Carland, he is now benefitting from necessary mental health counseling and making genuine, positive efforts to return to normalcy. Our family is most grateful to these two men for providing him with a fighting chance to turn his life around. Both were attentive, compassionate, candid and professional. For these reasons, as well as others, we highly recommend them to anyone seeking expert legal counsel.

So I had an incident where a situation went to 11 and I pulled a firearm. The local police were trying to throw the book at me ( 2 felony aggravated assault charges and 4 misdemeanor charges) Collectively I was looking at a possible 36 years in prison ( being 41 this would make me 76 when released) upon the advice of the bail bondsman that night I contacted Steve the next day. Steve consulted with me fairly quickly and i immediately hired him knowing I needed all the help I could get. The delay request he filed did make me nervous as it pushed the case 2 months later but it seemed to help. Steve was able to negotiate this down at the preliminary hearing and got the cops to drop the 2 felonies right away. ( despite his best effort they weren’t going to bargain on the 4 misdemeanor charges) Still he got a favorable outcome when the police accepted my ARD request and only gave it 24 months with a fairly minimal fine and no jail time ( everything was negotiable except going to jail). So he got me 24 months probation which was a bit extreme even he thought but he did his job and kept me on the street then he even offered to help me with the expungement process after I finish the probation. Can’t say enough good things about the man cause he genuinely helped me at the worst moment of my life. Sure he’s busy and it might take some efforts to get through to him or his office but believe me they’ll respond and will do whatever they have to to get you through it. The day of my preliminary hearing he was really busy but made every effort to keep me informed and aware of what he was trying to do. Criminal charges are deep deep #2 and you need all the help you can get. Steve helped me and a lot of others here. If you need him he’ll believe you cause he’s probably run into this situation before. It probably didn’t hurt that at 41 and having never been in trouble before I was the ideal client, but still get ahold of Steve cause he’s going to care about you and will keep you where you belong, not in jail

I was referred to Doug for counsel after I had issues on federal land for an alleged lewd act. I was told by other lawyers that I was going to have a record and that nothing could be done about this.

Honestly I don't know where to begin, I have so many wonderful things to say. I'll start by saying that she's not only a professional with regards to her craft, but she's also very "human" (if you will) and genuinely concerned for her clients. Never wavering in her search for justice and equality. She's very thorough, detailed, and precise. Always available, and accessible. Truly a godsend in my honest opinion. It was and still is an absolute pleasure to have her as a friend and legal counsel. I'd recommend her to anyone who may be experiencing some legal issues...TRULY!

Laurie came highly recommended for a sensitive criminal matter that occurred in the City of Philadelphia; a false arrest that without her expert direction and attention to detail, could have single-handedly and erroneously destroyed my career. Much was riding on her ability to navigate this unusual case and she came through for me every step of the way. My multitudinous, frantic, off-hour emails and phone calls were answered thoroughly, without delay, and with that rare combination of no-nonsense honesty, respect, and compassion. She took me through the intricacies of the legal process with much-needed kid gloves. Through Laurie's excellent legal navigation, the case was dismissed at trial. I could not have wished for a better outcome or a better attorney. I thank my lucky stars that she was able to take my complex case and I remain forever grateful.

I contacted attorney Sebald in March of 2021 regarding a series charge/crime. The consultation was very informative, thorough and laid out up front. To cost, the process, possible outcomes, what I need to do, etc. He was very honest and upfront and showed not only he cared about my case, the outcome but about me and my life. In July my bail was $100,000. Thanks to his expertise he got the bail dropped which allowed me to be free. He worked tirelessly and relentlessly on my case for over a year. He was there to answer any question or hear any concerns. I originally had 28 charges and he got them down to 11. Thanks to his dedication, hard work and experience, rather then doing several years in state prison, I got probation, which I was originally told wasn't an option, and gps ankle monitor. I highly recommend and encourage attorney Sebald for your legal matters.

I highly recommend calling Attorney Eric J. Mikovch should you find yourself in a situation where you need a defense attorney. I initially called his secretary for an appointment, and he called me back in under 30 minutes and asked me questions to obtain all the information he needed. He recognized how upset I was and offered to meet with me during my lunch time that day. I had intense fear and anxiety, and he reassured me that everything would be ok. I hired him on the spot to represent me and, he won my case for me. Between the time of initial contact to the end of my trial date, he stayed in contact with me via phone and text, replying back to me immediately with answers to my questions. He is professional and attentive, but also very compassionate and friendly. I can't image dealing with my problem without him. My outcome was the best possible. I trust him and recommend him and the Quinn Law Firm with any legal matter.

I was facing simple assault and harassment charges from an altercation where I was only defending myself. The current lawyer I had for my case was not doing a sufficient job in guiding me in the right direction and was telling me to take the plea bargain. I refused, as I knew I did not commit the crime. After searching for a new lawyer, I found Dave. Dave believed in my case and worked tirelessly to gather evidence to prove my innocence. He met with my witness and I numerous times and every time he calmed our nerves every time because he reassured us he could properly defend and prove this act of self defense. Dave is very professional, helpful and intelligent. In the end, Dave's knowledge and hard work proved my innocence! I would recommend Dave to anyone in any criminal situation, he is a very dedicated professional who knows what he is doing!

Blake did the best job I could possibly imagine as an attorney for the worst accusations a person could levy against someone else. From the moment we met and discussed my case, I knew that Blake was going to be the lawyer I needed to understand the complexities of my case, the specifics of the accusations, how they could be perceived, how to defend them in several avenues, and how to deal appropriately with one of the most duplicitous attorney/client teams to ever exist. Blake's read and perception at every level of the case, and throughout every social interaction was everything that my case warranted and needed. He was realistic about what would be fair, and what wouldn't, and the best ways to approach things on my end. I hope you are never in a position where you need his expertise, but if you are, I hope you find him!

Natalie was the first lawyer who gave me the confidence to think that I could beat my DUI case. Five lawyers prior had pretty much encouraged me to spend several thousands of dollars with them, only to sit back and plea guilty. Without a doubt I can say that none of them cared one bit about my case. But Natalie discussed with me, in detail, our options for actually winning my case. This was a first, so I gave her a shot. Six months later, Natalie helped me beat my DUI case. What more could I say...

Doug left no stone unturned; he dug into every detail and quickly found what he needed to reduce the charge and develop a deal. Doug is well known in Lancaster by the DA and fellow attorneys, and they trust him. The support staff at his firm are first class; they get things done. I would highly recommend Doug and his firm for any criminal defense work.

What a Juvenile Law Lawyer Can Do for You
A juvenile law lawyer specializes in legal issues involving minors, including those facing criminal charges, child welfare matters, or status offenses (like truancy or curfew violations). Juvenile law lawyers aim to protect the rights of minors and advocate for rehabilitation rather than punishment in criminal cases. They also help families navigate child custody, abuse, neglect cases, and other legal matters involving children.
If your child is facing criminal charges, or you are involved in a child welfare case, a juvenile law lawyer can help protect your child’s rights and work toward the most favorable outcome.
When Should I Hire a Juvenile Law Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a juvenile law lawyer in the following situations where minors are involved in legal matters:
- Juvenile criminal charges: If your child is accused of a crime, such as theft, assault, or drug offenses, a juvenile lawyer can represent them in juvenile court, advocating for leniency and alternatives to detention.
- Delinquency proceedings: A lawyer can help navigate delinquency charges, defending your child’s rights and seeking rehabilitative outcomes like counseling, probation, or diversion programs instead of incarceration.
- Status offenses: If your child has committed a status offense, such as truancy, running away, or underage drinking, a lawyer can help you resolve these issues in juvenile court, often focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment.
- School disciplinary issues: If your child is facing school suspensions, expulsions, or other disciplinary actions, a lawyer can help protect their educational rights and challenge any unfair or unlawful school policies.
- Child protective services (CPS) investigations: If your family is being investigated by CPS for alleged abuse, neglect, or dependency, a lawyer can represent you and protect your child’s rights throughout the investigation.
- Custody disputes: A lawyer can help in cases involving child custody or guardianship disputes, ensuring the child’s best interests are prioritized and advocating for the child’s rights.
- Emancipation: If your child seeks legal emancipation from their parents or guardians, a lawyer can assist in navigating the legal process and help the child understand their rights and responsibilities.
Hiring a lawyer early in the legal process ensures that your child’s rights are protected and that the best possible outcomes are pursued.
What Does a Juvenile Law Lawyer Do?
A juvenile law lawyer provides various services to help minors and their families navigate the legal system. Their responsibilities often include:
- Representing minors in court: A lawyer will represent your child in juvenile court, advocating for their rights and seeking rehabilitative outcomes rather than punitive measures.
- Filing motions and legal paperwork: The lawyer handles all necessary legal filings, including petitions, responses, and motions to dismiss charges or suppress evidence.
- Negotiating with prosecutors: In some cases, a lawyer can negotiate plea deals or diversion programs that prevent the child from having a permanent criminal record or serving time in detention.
- Advising on rehabilitation programs: Juvenile law lawyers often focus on alternatives to incarceration, such as counseling, community service, or probation, helping minors avoid long-term legal consequences.
- Handling CPS and child welfare cases: If your family is involved in a CPS investigation or child welfare case, the lawyer can advocate for your child’s safety and well-being, ensuring that their rights are upheld.
- Defending minors against school discipline: A lawyer can help challenge unfair or excessive disciplinary actions taken by schools, ensuring that your child’s educational rights are protected.
- Advising families on legal options: A lawyer will explain the juvenile legal process to families, offering advice on the best legal strategies and what to expect during the case.
How Are Juvenile Law Lawyers Paid?
Juvenile law lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the time involved. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rate: Many juvenile law lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Flat fee: For simpler cases, such as status offenses or school disciplinary hearings, a lawyer may charge a flat fee that covers all legal services related to the case.
- Retainer: In more complex cases, such as defending against serious criminal charges or handling a long-term CPS investigation, a lawyer may require a retainer, which is an upfront payment billed against as they work on the case.
- Sliding scale or pro bono services: Some juvenile law lawyers offer sliding scale fees based on income or may provide pro bono (free) services for families who cannot afford to pay full legal fees, especially in cases involving child welfare or delinquency.
Discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to understand the total cost and payment options.
How Much Does a Juvenile Law Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a juvenile law lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the time involved. General cost estimates include:
- Juvenile criminal cases: Legal fees for defending a minor in juvenile criminal cases can range from $2,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the severity of the charges and whether the case goes to trial.
- Status offenses: For cases involving minor offenses such as truancy or underage drinking, legal fees typically range from $1,500 to $5,000.
- CPS or child welfare cases: Legal fees for representing families in CPS investigations or child welfare cases can range from $2,000 to $8,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.
- School disciplinary hearings: Legal fees for representing students in school-related issues may range from $1,000 to $3,500, depending on the legal work required.
Make sure to get a clear estimate of costs during your initial consultation to ensure you understand the full scope of fees and services.
Top Questions to Ask a Juvenile Law Lawyer
Before hiring a juvenile law lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the experience and expertise to handle your child’s case effectively. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with juvenile law cases?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases similar to yours, whether it’s juvenile delinquency, child custody, or CPS investigations. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, offers flat fees, or requires a retainer. Ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost. -
What is the likelihood of success in my child’s case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of the case, including potential challenges and likely outcomes. -
How long will the process take?
Juvenile cases can vary in duration, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what factors might affect the timeline. -
Will you personally handle my child’s case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing the case and representing your child in court. -
What rights does my child have?
Ask the lawyer to explain your child’s legal rights, including their rights during police questioning, school disciplinary actions, and court proceedings.
How to Check the Credibility of a Juvenile Law Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable juvenile law lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for juvenile law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in juvenile law and have successfully handled cases similar to yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate in juvenile cases.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on juvenile law matters.
- Check for certifications or memberships: Look for memberships in organizations like the National Juvenile Defender Center (NJDC) or certifications in juvenile law, which can indicate a lawyer’s dedication to representing minors.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a juvenile law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Court documents: Bring any legal documents related to your child’s case, such as summons, complaints, or court orders.
- School records: Provide any relevant school records, including disciplinary reports, attendance records, and communications from school officials.
- CPS or investigation reports: If your case involves child welfare, bring any reports or documentation from CPS or other investigating agencies.
- Timeline of events: Prepare a detailed timeline of events related to your child’s legal issue, including interactions with authorities or school officials.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions about the legal process, your child’s rights, and potential outcomes for the case.
Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your child’s situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice tailored to your needs.
