I needed an attorney last minute and Mike responded back to me immediately and set up a consult. I have worked for several attorneys and was very impressed with Mike's knowledge and the legal advice he provided. I had been worried about trying to hire an attorney at the last minute but left the meeting feeling a thousand times better. Mike seems confident in his representation abilities and had the best legal advice I had received after talking to several attorneys. Definitely recommend!

I would not recommend MPL Law Firm, specifically attorney Richard Robinson, for anyone in need of reliable legal representation! My boyfriend has been incarcerated, and we have been deeply disappointed by the lack of attention and care from his attorney. Richard Robinson has consistently neglected my boyfriend’s case, failing to return phone calls or provide updates. He shows up to court but does not advocate on my boyfriend’s behalf — instead, he remains silent while the prosecutors dominate the proceedings. On top of that, he frequently lies about the status of the case, leaving us feeling confused, frustrated, and powerless. We have never felt like a priority and are seriously considering seeking new representation. If you care about your legal situation, I suggest looking elsewhere.

I would definitely not recommend her!! She is not experienced enough! She does not try enough! She will talk to you like she can do a lot but actually she doesn’t try hard enough.

Heather came highly recommended by friends and family, and she did not disappoint. She was instrumental in helping me get a speeding ticket significantly reduced, which was a huge relief. Her communication throughout the process was excellent, keeping me informed and at ease every step of the way. What I thought would be a stressful and unfamiliar experience turned out to be a breeze thanks to her expertise. I would absolutely recommend Heather to anyone in need of legal assistance—she’s truly top-notch!

This attorney ruined my life intentionally.
He did not investigate the facts in my case. He stated to the judge that I commit a crime that I am totally innocent of. Watching this attorney work was the worst part of my experience with him. If there is a rebuttal to this story I will show the true context of his statement.

I can’t not recommend Aaron Sontz enough! He is an amazing lawyer, very smart and dedicated with years of experience. He was always available when I had questions about the case If not he call back within 30 min. Yes I was nervous about the outcome of the case because who we was up against but Aaron Sontz told me he was confident we could win the case and did just that. He went above and beyond I appreciate everything more than i can say thank you so much Aaron Sontz and I highly recommend him 100%!!!

Do yourselves a favor, stop outsourcing your answering service to 3rd world countries. Their English is broken and barely intelligible. It's embarrassing to speak with them. You lost a very large employment discrimination case because of it.

Sara Webster is the best lawyer that I have ever used. Thankfully I haven’t needed many. She is a sweetheart that will go to battle for you. She knows the ins and outs of the judicial system. If you are in a bad situation, she is the one you want to have your back. Unfortunately it only let me leave five stars. I would leave 10. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She really helped me get out of a bad situation that was brought upon me. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Sara is the person you want on your side. Trust me from first hand experience.

Sara is a skilled attorney who is both knowledgeable and compassionate in her work. She is well respected in the court and by local authorities, enabling her to leverage her strong relationships for the benefit of her clients. I was charged with a summary offense in Pennsylvania and Sara swiftly jumped onto my case leaving no detail unturned – she was thorough, quick-moving, and effective, quickly getting my case withdrawn. I wholeheartedly trust and respect Sara and recommend her to anyone seeking a criminal defense attorney.

Sara worked as hard as any paid attorney would have for me despite the fact that she was representing me pro gratis. When the situation appeared to be bleak, she was a ray of hope for my family and me. Opposing lawyers predicted that I would spend time in detention at the outset of this case, but Sara persuaded them to plead for my release by the end. Sara's legal knowledge, assertive approach, and sensitive assistance are greatly appreciated.

Kim Krzyzaniak refuses to respond to emails or voice messages. Two or three weeks will go by with no response. I sent her a notarized divorce document on mid October and Kim did not respond to me until December 5 and still the divorce agreement is not filed. Poor communication. Questionable ethics. Substandard legal representation.

I highly, highly recommend Josh Buchanan. He is one of the best attorneys that I had a pleasure to work with for 10 years. He is not only knowledgeable of the law, he puts his heart and soul into every case regardless of the severity and will work nights and weekends to ensure he provides the best representation for all of his clients. I recommend him to everyone who needs an attorney, and after working in this industry for 16 years, I would not recommend anyone else.

Whenever I’m in need of a Lawyer I know that Mike Carland always has my back. If he tells you he knows what to do, you can trust him and not have to worry about anything except what is agreed on in the court room. As long as you follow his direction you will be very satisfied with his help. He gets to know you personally and cares about each individual he helps. He deserves more than a 5-Star rating if there was an option, I will never look for legal representation elsewhere.

Don’t waist your money with Angelo. He is all talk at first and plays a very good story as the best attorney in the area, but realistically is the absolute worst. Paid 1500$ toward a retainer and as soon as we went to court he didn’t even show up and sent a different attorney. Thank goodness that attorney could save the day.

Hired Angelo several months back after two separate attorneys dragged out my son's case an egregious length of time unnecessarily. During that time to date, Angelo has made a significant impact in our case, although it has not concluded, we are extremely confident in a favorable outcome no matter the lengths to be taken moving forward. Extremely knowledgeable, Personable, and effective. Will share outcome as transpires ,of which we are confidential in. We can't stress enough how much we appreciate all you've done for our son and family thus far, your integrity speaks volumes.
Thank you.

Some of the Attorneys in this law firm are con artists. Trying hard to make my friends give up their property to their client’s that has no legal right. I have never ever seen unprofessional attorneys in my life. I don’t know how many clients they have conned. They shouldn’t be allowed to practice in the US, they are rogue attorneys.
I have been privileged enough to read the communications between them and my friends and I couldn’t believe my eyes. How do people like this get away with such blatant disregard of the law.

Brian Perry is a top notch lawyer who will get the job done, period. I’ve hired Brian on 2 occasions and each time I’ve come away with a sentence I never would have expected. A combined total from the 2 cases equaled 14 years in prison and over $35,000 in fines. Each situation ended up with a sentence of 1 year of probation, a minimal fine and court costs. Brian will put you at ease during the first meeting as he reviews your case and explains the charges in detail so you can understand and make decisions. He is very thorough, hard working and always gets the best results possible. I trust Brian completely and would recommend him to family and friends knowing they are in the best hands. When you weigh his fee to the cost of losing your freedom it’s an easy decision. ‘You get what you pay for’ isn’t just a saying it’s the truth.

Josh Camson is a wonderful attorney who isn’t afraid of a challenge. I found Josh doing a google search when trying to have my name expunged from the child line registry in PA. I incorrectly and unfairly was indicated as perpetrator in 2007 . I was very young and afraid to fight back because of the fear of losing my son. I thought that if Bucks county children and youth would indicate me when I clearly did nothing wrong after the other person admitted that my son was in their care that they would certainly not hesitate to do so. After calling many attorneys who specialize in this I began to loose hope because they all declined to take my case or did not call back at all. Josh called me personally and spent about a half hour discussing what I was trying to do, and the history involving this incident . I also had a timeline for when this needed to be done by (02/01/2020). Mr. Camson was empathetic , understanding , and confident he could help me and decided to take my case. I am so glad I found Josh on google. He was prompt replying via email, when I had an urgent issue he would call me back immediately. I was very anxious about this whole process and worried I would not have my clearance in time for my deadline. It is with great happiness and gratitude that I express how happy I am with all Mr. Camson did for my family and I. My hearing was yesterday 01/31/2020, he was on time , well prepared as we prepped the day before via phone , but most importantly , Josh helped me WIN MY CASE! I will recommend him to anyone in this predicament . Josh Camson is your best chance at receiving a fair hearing and trial with Child Line in regards to having your name expunged , not only did he fight good cause but he also proved to the court that this case was incorrectly investigated and came to an incorrect conclusion which enabled my name to be removed from the registry effective immediately. I requested my new clearance online last night and was able to view it the same day because of how Josh pushed the importance of this. Thank you SO MUCH, I will eternally be grateful for how you helped my family move forward.

My husband was facing extremely serious charges. We knew that if my husband was convicted of these charges it would devastate our family and change his life forever. We chose Mr. Camson to represent my husband initially because of his compassion and attentiveness to our case. But his ability to control a court room blew us away. He is confident without being arrogant. He is intelligent, but explains the law in a way so his client and others can understand everything. He can truly make people see things from his perspective. Mr. Camson answered every question we had with patience. During the trial it was made clear that he has excellent jury appeal. When he spoke they listened with intent. If you want results, hire this extraordinary attorney! We cannot thank Josh enough for that “Not Guilty”!

This self-proclaimed criminal lawyer is in fact a lawyer CRIMINAL, and will soon be held to account for the wanton crimes and violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct that he's committed against his own client(s). Write to me and I will provide you all the evidence and transcripts you need to confidently avoid this fraud like the cancer that he is. This man is so astonishingly incompetent, lazy and derelict that he will literally single-handedly get you convicted of any imaginary or false criminal accusation.
When it comes time to account for his incompetence in court, this man will openly lie and commit perjury in order to fabricate bizarre, blatantly false and slanderous evidence and allegations against his own client just to make the client look stupid or guilty, solely designed to deflect blame and accountability from himself for his own monumental dumbfounding and bewildering errors and omissions comprising his "INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL." If you're going to use this man anyway, you need to fully research this quoted term, because you're going to need to be fully versed in it.
It is highly unlikely that this man has actually gained a law degree by virtue of his profound lack of skill and common sense. Instead of preparing for your case, Koschier will remain at his apartment, by himself glued to his gaming console. I speak from experience. This man is a complete fraud, despite his enigmatic overconfidence in the skills and capabilities which he simply does not possess. If you have NO OTHER CHOICE but to hire this man, then I highly recommend as a fellow American citizen, that you just go to court alone and try your case pro se, because that's going to be your only chance of a positive, just outcome short of hiring a professional. Not only will Christopher W. Koschier destroy your life, but when the opportunity arrives for him to be able to correct his own mistakes and get you out of prison, he will not only abandon you but will overtly sabotage your efforts at getting a false conviction vacated.
Be warned my friends, Christopher Koschier is NOT a professional, ethical or honorable man or attorney. He is a lonely self-proclaimed "gamer" with no friends or colleagues, plain and simple. An analogy that was proffered to me in retrospect by a real lawyer: If you were going to have brain surgery, would you really select a doctor fresh out of school with no meaningful experience, or whose first few cases ended badly? Chew on that as you ponder whether you really want to risk your entire life, reputation, career, family, fortune and future by allowing this man anywhere near you or your case. I wish you all the best with your case. Please, keep researching elsewhere. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing that I didn't do everything in my power to save another person (you) from being this dolt's next victim.
Every word of this review is factual and represents my honest opinion based entirely on personal experience working with him prior to learning who he really is.

Mr. Koschier is one of a kind. He is seriously intelligent, and very passionate about his work. It really shows with the extensive efforts he makes in a case. He does not sugar coat the truth, and is fierce in defense tactics and absolutely thorough. Mr. Koschier is always prompt to respond to questions and offers clear, helpful advice. I would not hire anyone else. He is unbelievable in his skills and the work he puts forth. He is also very easy to talk to, as he does not exert any arrogance as some attorneys tend to do. He actually files motions and challenges the other side with carefully detailed facts. I very highly recommend hiring this attorney if your case matters to you.

Not sure if this is Phil Gazen but if so I highly recommend you look somewhere else, as a matter of fact you will have a better chance at representing yourself than with him. Took him 5 years to schedule a trial date for the death of my cousin and the judge throw it out because this man didn’t put down the proper information on the company who was responsible. The judge said in the beginning of trial he had no case because of misinformation, at first I felt bad but than I remembered he’s a alcoholic… I know this because he randomly texted my phone the night before trying asking me if I wanted to go out to drinks with him, I said what?! He said I’m sorry wrong number. This dude is a straight clown I seriously recommend you look somewhere else, don’t end up like me.

Before she loses though, she will offer to represent you for free when the inevitable loss occurs. I can only recommend you work with these guys if you're interested in losing.

Attorney Sundmaker, as well as, his awesome paralegal Lisa, are the best in the area. I do not mean he simply excels as an attorney but, has committed to excellence in the knowledge of the law and communication with his clients. I have been a client for over a year, in an array of cases. I have also found Attorney Sundmaker and his staff to be the most correct in practice. If you are looking for “right is right”, he’s your guy.

I am beyond happy that I retained Mrs Bickerton to work my case for me. I interviewed several different lawyers before settling on this firm, and I firmly believe that if I had hired someone else the results wouldn’t have been as favorable. Not only did Mrs Bickerton manage to successfully argue my case, she made me feel like I’m an actual person and not just a number throughout the whole process. My many questions were all answered in a timely manner, her case law knowledge was superb, and on the one occasion she didn’t have an answer immediately available for me she made sure to research and get back to me right away. I found her pricing to be fair with regards to the service that I received. If I ever needed help again I wouldn’t hesitate to contact her, or refer anyone I knew needed assistance to her.

Once I hired her it took over a year for my case to go to court waiting for a decision that could have been expedited. Only time she would respond if it pertained to money. Didn't use any witnesses that were in place had an affidavit signed by strong witness and didn't use it. All she did was refute and did a case brief not even tried to prove the intent in court. Had solid information on the staff members involved deeming them not credible did not use it. Cross examination skills were very limited. Throughout and before we even went to court kept saying she could win on appeal. Had information and key witnesses to win at that stage. The prosecution had no evidence at all to present just testimony from people that weren't credible and the investigator admitted he didn't do an investigation only testimony. Lost a case to where there was no evidence only testimony. How good are her legal skills? Never could get in contact with her never returned phone calls would go straight to fax. She would answer emails every once in a while. Made herself available a day before court. Didn't have game plan in court all she did was refute and do a case brief. Seems as if she already knew she threw my case once I emailed her letting her know I lost she called me letting me know her prices for the next proceedings. After that pitiful display in the courtroom she should have gave me my money back or offered to do everything else for free. Why take on a case that your not planning on winning. Took my money and gave me very poor representation. Stay away from this attorney she's very ineffective.

I truly can’t recommend Lea Bickerton strongly enough. I worked with Lea in a criminal case that crossed over into the area of corporate law. Her vast knowledge and expertise of the legal system combined with her no nonsense, straight to the facts approach proved to be a major deciding factor that brought this case to justice as quickly as it began.

I highly recommend Leslie Ditlow as an attorney for family law. She is extremely knowledgeable, relatable, empathetic, compassionate, and take definitive action to help your case. Her care for and support of my children and my family has been a comfort, and a great help in navigating this difficult custody situation.
A tremendous attorney!

I really liked Leslie on a personal level. We hiredanother lawyer for a criminal case and he brought her in to consult as he was not experienced enough to handle it. She really knew her stuff and showed much compassion. We were supposed to have another hearing within a month of going to court and it was never scheduled. I repeatedly asked her what the status was and if I got a response at all she would say "I'll see what I can do to speed up a date." and nearly a year later we finally got her to have the court schedule it after going back to our original lawyer who had to contact her twice. I would not have hired her again for custody due to this but she was very good. I also looked up the docket sheet myself and saw that the court had scheduled this hearing for 2015, 2 years after it was supposed to be scheduled. I assumed this is what took so long and that it was not her not doing the job. I figured she was having trouble with the courts bc the hearing was scheduled and no one could find it. So, my husband and I hired her agin to handle child custody. I asked her she would be able to file papers the first week in Dece,bet and she said yes. The case took an unsurprising turn and so we waited 3 weeks to make a decision on what to do. We needed to add a lot more detail to our filing and decide if we wanted to go that route. We did and she was to file the papers the week of Christmas. Never happened. I did not hear from her from the day we returned the papers to her that week u til January 23. The response Ito was that she had some health problems and was down for a little while and she would see what she could do about a date. I knew then and there that she never filed the papers because if she had we would have gotten a letter in the mail from the court with the date. I have contacted her weekly since that day in January and gotten no response. NONE. I finally asked for a refund for the deposit we gave her and haven't heard back on that either. Surprise, surprise. She really messed up this case for my husband bc we needed to act on something his daughter's mother was doing immediately. She totally dropped the ball. If you can get her to respond to you though, kudos bc she really does know her stuff. What good is that though if she doesn't do the work you hire her to do?

Lee Ruslander is an EXTREMELY GREAT lawyer. The way he presents himself in the courtroom is great and his cross examination skills are top notch. He intimidates law enforcement officers on the stand testifying and the District Attorney will completely hesitate to put a witness on the stand with Lee Ruslander in the courtroom. Lee gets the entire courtroom quiet and confused and the District Attorney won't even know what he's even doing. Great lawyer. He's your man if you need a good lawyer. If your in some deep trouble call Lee.

What a Sex Crime Lawyer Can Do for You
A sex crime lawyer specializes in defending individuals accused of sexual offenses, which can include charges such as sexual assault, rape, indecent exposure, child pornography, solicitation, and other related crimes. Being charged with a sex crime carries severe legal and social consequences, including potential imprisonment, mandatory registration as a sex offender, fines, and long-term stigma. A sex crime lawyer has the expertise to navigate the complex legal system, protect your rights, and develop a strategic defense to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.
When Should I Hire a Sex Crime Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a sex crime lawyer immediately if:
- You are under investigation: If law enforcement contacts you for questioning or you become aware that you are a suspect in a sex crime investigation, it's crucial to seek legal representation before speaking with authorities.
- You have been arrested or charged: Promptly hiring a lawyer upon arrest or formal charges allows for early intervention in your case, which can be critical for your defense.
- Searches and seizures have occurred: If your property, such as your home or electronic devices, has been searched or seized in connection with a sex crime investigation, a lawyer can help protect your rights.
- You are facing related legal issues: If you're dealing with restraining orders, custody disputes, or other legal matters stemming from the allegations, a lawyer can provide comprehensive legal support.

- Protecting your rights: The lawyer ensures that your constitutional rights are upheld throughout the legal process, including protection against unlawful searches, coerced confessions, or violations of due process.

- Hourly rate: Charging an hourly fee for the time spent working on your case. Rates can vary widely based on the lawyer's experience and location.
- Flat fee: A set amount that covers specific services or the entirety of your case, which can provide cost predictability.
- Retainer fee: An upfront payment from which the lawyer deducts hourly fees and expenses as they work on your case. You may need to replenish the retainer if it is exhausted.
- Payment plans: Some lawyers offer payment arrangements to make their services more affordable over time.
It's important to discuss payment structures and fees during your initial consultation to understand the financial commitment involved.
