I met Matthew Kikta at Julian Grey Associates in 2016 when he put together an Asset Protection Trust and associated documents (POA, Last Will & Testament, etc.) for my elderly parents. Matthew is very knowledgeable and professional. When my parents passed in 2022, he helped me by submitting the Inheritance Tax return to the state. Matthew always responded quickly to any emails I sent to him (questions I had regarding how to handle things after my parents passed). I strongly recommend Matthew to handle any needs associated with Elder Law.

Julian Gray is the best Elder Law/Guardianship/Estate Planning attorney I have had the privilege to work with. He demands precise work and pays attention to the details. I will be using Julian Gray Associates exclusively going forward.

I was hurt in a car accident and needed help getting reimbursed for expenses that my insurance wasn't going to cover. Mr. Rankin listened, understood and fought for me resulting in a reimbursement I was happy with. Mr. Rankin and the staff working with him kept me fully informed along the way. When he called, he gave me clear details and, after providing advice, asked me what I wanted to do next. I highly recommend and will use Mr. Rankin again if there comes a need.

I was very pleased using this firm. They helped me immensely during a difficult time. Both attorneys kept me very informed with every step. Karen was amazing in assisting me with kindness, compassion, professionalism and understanding. Alice was really wonderful as well. Every staff member I interacted with was terrific. I have recommended them to friends and family already. They are a firm you can trust.

My name is Jeri. I recently had to stop working because of ongoing medical issues and a surgery. I applied to have my disability reinstated back in February this year. It was one headache after another. I went to the congressman office in my town, they even made things difficult. I did think about getting a lawyer and didn’t. The final straw was when I called Social Security and they actually hung up on me! That same day I reached out to the law office of Marzzacco Niven & Associates. They did not hesitate. They were very kind and understanding. After the phone call I received some papers to sign and they went to work. It wasn’t even a full two weeks that passed. I decided one day to check my bank and there it was my payment! Also that same day I received a letter from the congressman’s office confirming. Called the law office to let them know and to get confirmation. I was so grateful! I would recommend them to everyone. And I just want to say thank you all so much.

I highly recommend Handler, Henning & Rosenberg LLC. Attorneys Robert Spayde and Shon-del were very responsive and relieved my stress. They kept me well-informed and supported throughout the complex legal process. Their excellent communication and dedication contributed to a positive experience. Mr. Spayde had a deep understanding of my case and provided outstanding representation during the hearing. The successful outcome can be credited to Mr. Spayde and Shon-del's efforts. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

Working with HHR on my disability claim and keeping in touch with Shon-Del was an absolute gift. I'm so thankful they were part of my process. I highly recommend this firm. Thank you!

Before I consulted Mr. Kolman, I did not believe that there was any recourse for my labor dispute situation. I had already spoken informally to a family friend who is an attorney and was told that there was nothing I could do. Having just moved to the area with my wife, I suddenly found myself without income or allies. However, when I called the office of Kolman Law, the staff there was very attentive and confident that they could help me. I was able to speak with Mr. Kolman that same day. Seemingly off the top of his head, he cited PA case precedent that was obscure enough to have escaped my previous consultants but applied to my situation perfectly. Furthermore, he and his staff always treated me with respect and returned my messages promptly. In the end, Mr. Kolman and his firm came through for me. They helped me recover enough to facilitate the move to my next job, thereby diverting a potentially dire outcome for me and my family. Perhaps more importantly, they helped me to regain a sense of hope in an extremely trying time. The firm's commitment to standing up for the working person was evident in their work at every turn, and I sleep a little better each night knowing that Mr. Kolman's number is in my rolodex.

12 Apr, 2024 by Amanda

Timothy Kolman of Kolman Law P.C., handled my employment case and was able to settle it to my complete satisfaction. His attentiveness and genuine commitment made it all very seamless. He worked on a contingency basis and only got paid if I won. We won! Thank you for all your efforts. I would tell anyone who had an employment issue, to give them a chance.

The attorney and staff were very pleasant. Even though they could not help me with my case, they were very helpful with suggestions and referrals. Fast communication too. I highly recommend them.

I recently had the pleasure of working with John W. Hollawell and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From start to finish his team was incredibly professional, compassionate, and helpful. After experiencing a difficult situation, I reached out to John for help and he immediately put me at ease. John W. Hollawell took the time to listen to my concerns and was very patient in explaining the legal process and what I could expect.Throughout the entire process, Barbara kept me informed and updated on the status of my case. They were always available to answer any questions I had and provided me with the support and guidance I needed to make informed decisions.Thanks to their hard work and dedication, I was ultimately compensated for my losses. I am so grateful for their help and could not have achieved such a successful outcome without them.

08 Aug, 2024 by Greg

John, was as good as could possibly be from start to finish with my claim against the tractor trailer that crashed into my car. I had a severe concussion, requiring months of PT. But I am not a surgical candidate & have to live with neck/shoulder issues. John was able to get their insurance company to double the offer, which matched the very high end of what we thought we might get. Every step of the way John & his team explained the process & clearly he's as knowledgeable & as experienced as you would want. I would recommend John without any hesitation!

Joyce went above and beyond and did everything she could to ensure a positive outcome.

Jerry knafo is deff the best lawyer out there he handled my case very well and had my best interest at heart always.....god forbid I won't ever get in another accident again but if I am ever in need of help he will always be the first person I go to and I will let anyone know how great he is. I also wanna say his paralegal, Christine ,was a huge help as well....she was always very informative and Always helped answer all my questions right away.

No one wants to call a personal injury attorney, but after being hit by a pickup truck, I knew I needed a good one and I chose the best-Jerry Knafo. Jerry returned my call promptly, and was honest, direct and professional. He was also funny, human, and compassionate. He told me how he operated and then followed through, and I never doubted that he would produce. After four months, I’ve recovered from my injuries and the settlement he reached has truly compensated me for my pain and suffering. Great law firm, outstanding guy. Thank you Jerry!

She was always available to answer my questions, no matter how small, and made sure I felt informed and confident every step of the way. Her expertise and diligent approach were evident in her handling of my legal matters, leading to a favorable outcome that exceeded my expectations. Sandra’s genuine dedication to her clients’ best interests not only stands out in her legal work but also in the compassionate way she interacts with her clients. I would highly recommend Sandra to anyone in need of a lawyer who is not only highly skilled but also truly cares about making a positive difference in her client’s lives.

My case was almost lost, as my Attorney with whom I had filed the case died unfortunately. My file was transferred to Christopher Bradley and I had no idea how he will proceed with the case. He did case study, analyzed the problems and adopted a aggressive but matured strategy and the case was settled to our satisfaction.

Raymond J. Conlon took my case when others probably would not have. He is consistent handling the case to a successful result. He amazed me of the final outcome and went beyond my expectation of what I would have expected to receive. He explained things to a level I understood and had a great deal of patience when dealing with an upset client. His staff was kind and helpful to me in several occasions.

From my initial contact with Mr. Conlon and Mr. Tarker and throughout my litigation process I was treated with professional confidentiality. They obtained a substantial settlement on my behalf that in my opinion was due to the diligent work of the experienced attorneys and their helpful and friendly secretaries.

Ben and his team successfully handled my recent personal injury case. He and his team were on top of things and available whenever I had questions or requests. I recommend him enthusiastically. Ben is also a compassionate human being. Before there was any case, Ben was generous with his time. He spent hours sharing his experiences with clients having similar injuries. His concern was always for my well-being. I'm grateful for all the help he provided.

13 Nov, 2018 by Kris

My wife and I were hit by another driver with the same insurance company. I did everything they asked and almost 2 years after my accident the insurance company still had not settled my claim. I contacted Mayerson Law and Ben took over from there. He and his team quickly got up to speed on my claim, injury reports, possible medical liens, and started working for a resolution. It was an unusual claim with many moving pieces and injured people. He not only resolved the claim with all parties quickly, he got me a settlement for above and beyond what I thought possible. I would highly recommend Ben Mayerson and Mayerson Law!

08 Jul, 2018 by Rachel

I had the pleasure of having Ben work two separate cases for me in which he was exceedingly successful in both. Ben has an incredible combination of intelligent determination and patient, kind customer relations. In our first case, I had suffered a motorcycle accident that he was able to compensate me for, and the second was a bicycle crash that he, again, demonstrated determined success. I had no experience in law and he was extremely patient with my ignorance, willing to explain to me in terms I could understand without belittling me. In the second case, as I had already worked with him through one, he volunteered his service as he had an incredible interest in the case at hand. He offered to take on this mission with steadfast determination and proved the master of his skill once again. I would gladly recommend Ben Mayerson to anyone who inquires about needing an injury lawyer. Good Job!!

I found Dana through AVVO. Not only is Dana a great lawyer, she’s straight to the point and upfront on her opinion and doesn’t beat around the bush. Dana and her team have been great. Every time I reached out to Dana, whether it be email or phone, if Dana couldn’t call me back, one of her amazing staff members did. She has been on top of every detail in my case and no matter the challenges are set against us due to my past medical history, Dana is fighting hard to prove my past medical history shouldn’t make it ok for those who caused my injuries to not pay for their negligence. She’s a woman who stands strong for her clients.

I was involved in a slip & fall & reached out to Dana weitz for representation. Dana fought to get me the settlement that you thought that I deserved.

I would highly recommend her and her firm!!

My accident case isn’t exactly cut & dry. There are many intricate details & things that may or may not apply that heavily impacted the value on my case. From the moment I hired Schatz & Steinberg firm & my case was given to Dana Weitz, this very traumatic & difficult time has been a breeze! First I’d like to say that I received support on a very personal level which was a great help. Anytime that I had a problem & sometimes it wasn’t case related…They were there to help! More importantly, Dana has been so meticulous going over every fine detail, recognizing issues that could’ve been detrimental & went above and beyond IMMEDIATELY & fixing them! Not only that, my phone calls & emails are always answered fairly quickly, and I’m not treated just as a client, but as a friend! This firm has helped, supported, and guided me through a time where I was confused, injured, upset & not knowing where to turn. They’ve held my hand the entire way! I am more than satisfied with the outcome, and would highly recommend Dana to anyone who has found themselves in a position where you’re injured and need an attorney. Rest assured she will take very good care of you!

Veronica and her staff were wonderful. They were very thorough and the case ended with a positive outcome. More important, they were all very caring and sensitive to me and my needs.

22 Dec, 2015 by Barry

When your heart is broken, due to the unexpected loss of a loved one, it can be difficult to find the strength to deal with the crisis and legal difficulties that ensue. Veronica, by way of her dedication and compassion, helped to provide focus and guidance. She dealt professionally with every aspect and shielded the family from any unnecessary distressing interactions. The legal process can be trying especially when it involves the revisiting the death of a loved one. The defendant’s attorney drags the issue out as long as possible, trying to force a speedy settlement. Veronica remained diligent in the pursuit of reparations. While we became a little anxious for the case to end, Mrs. Richards kept on plowing through the evidence and worked with medical experts to strengthen the case. This case drug on for about 3 years, never once did she sway, bend or waiver. The quick way out was not an option. Thank God for Veronica, while nothing can bring my daughter back, I know that the educational future of my grandchildren is intact and I credit this to Mrs. Richards. Thank you for all that you have done for us. I do not believe that anyone could have ever done a better job!

Veronica Richards helped to give our child a life she deserved. She was with us every step of the way and truly cared about not only our daughter but us as well. Through it all she proved to be the toughest lawyer and did not settle for anything less then what our child needed. She helped us understand everything that was going on and kept us in the loop during a very tough time. We would recommend her very highly to anyone who needs a lawyer.

Great lawyer, friendly down to earth and non judgmental. He helped with a difficult auto accident case, when the insurance company wants trying to get over, and barely pay for injury damages. He is also a great criminal defense attorney, he is well connected and knows how to navigate the courts and come up with a great negation. He doesn’t refuse you calls or ignore your emails. Nice person all around. I would recommend him to anyone in the North Eastern Pennsylvania Area, with any time of case, especially auto accidents and workman’s compensation cases.

George Miller responded to my initial phone call within a day, made himself available within the week and continued to promptly respond to my attempts at contact. Upon meeting, George created an environment that facilitated good chemistry between us by limiting legalese, actively listening when I responded to him, asking for clarification if needed and reflecting an understanding of my perspectives. George thoroughly communicated what we needed to accomplish as a team in order to be successful. He was present and attentive during our hearing while sincerely advocating in my best interest. My case was continued and upon asking George if there would be a contingent fee, he answered "No, I'll follow your case through based on what we'd agreed on." I consider George Miller my attorney and will utilize his services in the future as needed. Sincerely, Patricia

I contacted this firm after I was in a car accident where an uninsured driver ran thru a red light and crashed into my car and my insurance company said " oops, too bad, nothing we can do you had the wrong type of insurance coverave" this firm was able to help me get money from my insurance company to replace my totaled car and monies to pay for my medical procedures.. If it wasn't for this company I would not have been able to pay for medical attention. I would not have been able to purchase a car to continue getting to work. This firm kept me in the loop with what was going on 100% of the time. Informed me of all of my options and even gave me advice as to what type of coverage all drivers should have to protect them.

Rosato Law Offices represented me for a serious automobile accident which due to my injuries took quite some time to resolve. Mr. Rosato was professional and prompt in keeping me up to date on how my case was going and what to expect. If ever I need to be represented for a personal injury I will most definitely use Rosato Law Offices.

Hired for family law. Bernie has stuck by me and my family for around 9 to 10 years so far after child custody was given to myself. When I hired Bernie I was very impressed with his education and community life. Bernie has gone above and beyound what law school could ever teach him. Bernie was a law student of the greatest defense attorney Gerry Spence. Bernies community life is more than what I expected. His involvment is very strong. I believe if their is one person who could correct what's wrong with the Centre county system it would be Bernie.

Attorney Cantorna did an excellent job in representing us in a malpractice claim against Mount Nittany Medical Center. He spent hundreds of hours learning every detail of a complex medical case. He did an excellent job in his examination of witnesses and in cross examining the defense witnesses. He is bring honor to the legal profession.

30 Dec, 2015 by Jim

I know Bernie Cantorna to be a good person and an excellent lawyer with a passion for helping people in their time of need. When I was suffering from the depths of PTSD which was acutely exacerbated by an auto mobile accident and the ill effects of a concussion sustained from the same auto mobile accident, which was not my fault, I became unable to work or even care for myself. By using his experience, knowledge, and professional network, Bernie successfully provided me with his services by defending my rights and needs against an at fault insurance company. I know that Bernie did everything within his abilities to to defend my rights and make sure that I was taken care of in my desperate time of need. Ultimately, Bernie maximized the compensation I received from the at fault insurance company. I hope that no one I know would ever be in a such a helpless position, as the one I was in, but, if they were, I would absolutely recommend Bernie Cantorna to them. I am certain that Bernie would provide anyone, including you, with the same level of defense, care, and compassion that he provided me. It is who I know Bernie Cantorna to be.

Jennifer has been a fantastic attorney in family law. I highly recommend her for family law and will continue to seek her professional guidance and opinion in other areas as well. She is personable, extremely knowledgeable and very thorough. She made a very difficult situation as bearable as it could be, kept us informed with opinions, her experience, and possibilities of outcomes. She is also reasonably priced. We truly appreciate her.

I was introduced by a friend to Ms. Nash when my previous divorce lawyer was not working out. I am very thankful for that. My divorce was extremely contentious and nasty for no real reason, and I was struggling. Ms. Nash not only showed great compassion and caring both to me, and my family during this time, but she was honest, fair, and extremely knowledgeable in all of our dealings. I have been divorced for 3 ½ years, and I still have to go to court occasionally, and always count on her. I have never been disappointed. Her legal skills are not only top notch, but she is a very well-rounded attorney. She has represented me in many different facets of the law, and has even helped my family members with representation. From divorce, to unemployment, to estate and pre-nuptial law. If Ms. Nash doesn’t know it, she will learn it, and excel at it. I highly recommend her to anyone who asks me if I know someone.

14 Jun, 2018 by Sean

Ms. Nash is a top notch Chester County Attorney. Whether it’s a domestic situation, or a personal injury case. This lady gives you a 110%, and she doesn’t surgar coat the facts. I’ve used her 5 times over the last 20 years, and the results each time were excellent. She keeps you informed as your case progresses, and she will work with you to keep your expenses in check. I will continue to use and recommend Ms. Nash because of her skills, excellent service and grest results.

Matt helped us get a valuable asset that belonged to my family from someone who claimed that he purchased it. When he had the defendant in the stand not only did Matt expose him for the fraud he was but there was no doubt in anyone's mind especially the judge's that the defendant was less than honest.

04 Apr, 2015 by Brad

Matt comes highly recommended. He is an extremely knowledgable and experienced litigator that instills the utmost confidence in his clients that their case is in good hands.

I was working with another lawyer for over 4 yrs with no results and it wasn't till Mr. Logue joined with him that anything got done. Mr. Logue explains things so that you can understand. He is very good at what he does and I would recommend him to anyone! I am more than pleased with my results!

What a Wrongful Death Lawyer Can Do for You

A wrongful death lawyer specializes in representing families who have lost a loved one due to the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of another person or entity. These lawyers help families seek compensation for the emotional and financial losses associated with the untimely death of a loved one, including medical bills, funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering. Wrongful death claims can arise from various situations, including car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, and criminal actions.

If you have lost a family member due to someone else’s wrongful actions, a wrongful death lawyer can help you navigate the legal process and pursue justice on behalf of your loved one.

When Should I Hire a Wrongful Death Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a wrongful death lawyer if a loved one has died as a result of someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional harm. Some common reasons to hire a wrongful death lawyer include:

Car accidents: If a loved one was killed in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident caused by another driver’s negligence (e.g., reckless driving, DUI, or distracted driving), a lawyer can help you file a wrongful death claim.
Medical malpractice: If a loved one died due to medical negligence, such as a misdiagnosis, surgical error, or medication mistake, a wrongful death lawyer can help you pursue compensation from the healthcare provider.
Workplace accidents: If your loved one died in a workplace accident or due to unsafe working conditions, you may be entitled to compensation from the employer or third parties responsible for the unsafe conditions.
Defective products: If a defective product caused your loved one’s death, a lawyer can help you file a wrongful death claim against the manufacturer or distributor of the product.
Criminal actions: If your loved one was the victim of a criminal act, such as homicide or assault, a wrongful death lawyer can help you pursue a civil claim for damages, even if a criminal case is also ongoing.
Nursing home negligence: If an elderly loved one died due to neglect or abuse in a nursing home, a lawyer can help you hold the facility accountable for their wrongful actions.

Hiring a wrongful death lawyer soon after the incident ensures that important evidence is preserved and that you can meet any legal deadlines for filing a claim.

What Does a Wrongful Death Lawyer Do?

A wrongful death lawyer provides a wide range of services to help families navigate the legal complexities of a wrongful death claim and seek compensation for their losses. Their responsibilities often include:

Investigating the death: Conducting a thorough investigation of the circumstances leading to your loved one’s death, gathering evidence such as medical records, accident reports, and witness statements.
Establishing liability: Identifying who is legally responsible for your loved one’s death, whether it’s an individual, company, or government entity, and building a case showing how their negligence or wrongful actions caused the death.
Calculating damages: Helping you determine the full extent of your financial and emotional losses, including funeral expenses, medical bills, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering.
Filing a wrongful death claim: Preparing and filing the necessary legal documents to initiate a wrongful death lawsuit within the statute of limitations in your state.
Negotiating settlements: Working with the responsible party’s insurance company or legal team to negotiate a fair settlement for your losses.
Representing you in court: If a settlement cannot be reached, representing you in court by presenting evidence and making legal arguments to support your case.
Handling legal deadlines: Ensuring that all legal filings are completed within the deadlines set by your state’s statute of limitations for wrongful death cases.

How Are Wrongful Death Lawyers Paid?

Wrongful death lawyers typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case. Here’s how it generally works:

Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is usually a percentage of the total settlement or damages awarded, typically ranging from 25% to 40%. You won’t have to pay any upfront fees, and the lawyer only gets paid if they successfully recover compensation for you.
No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer does not win or settle your case, you generally won’t owe them any legal fees.
Case expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, you may also be responsible for reimbursing the lawyer for case-related expenses, such as court costs, expert witness fees, and investigation costs. These expenses are typically deducted from the settlement or award.

It’s essential to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to ensure you understand how much you will owe if your case is successful.

How Much Does a Wrongful Death Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a wrongful death lawyer is usually based on a contingency fee structure, meaning you only pay if the lawyer recovers compensation for you. General cost estimates include:

Contingency fee percentage: Most wrongful death lawyers charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or court award. For example, if you receive a $500,000 settlement and the lawyer’s fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $165,000, and you would keep the remaining $335,000.
Case expenses: In addition to the lawyer’s fee, expenses such as court costs, expert witness fees, and investigation costs may be deducted from the settlement or award. These expenses can range from $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.

Make sure to ask your lawyer for a clear explanation of their fees and case-related expenses before proceeding with your wrongful death claim.

How to Check the Credibility of a Wrongful Death Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable wrongful death lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:

Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
Look for wrongful death experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in wrongful death cases and have successfully handled cases like 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.
Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on wrongful death cases.
Check for certifications or memberships: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) or local bar associations can indicate the lawyer’s dedication to wrongful death and personal injury law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

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

Death certificate: Bring a copy of your loved one’s death certificate, as this is a key document in wrongful death cases.
Medical records: If applicable, bring your loved one’s medical records, autopsy reports, or any documentation of their medical care leading up to their death.
Accident or incident reports: If the wrongful death resulted from an accident, bring any police reports, accident reports, or workplace incident reports.
Financial records: Provide documentation of your loved one’s income, benefits, and financial contributions to the family to help calculate economic damages.
Correspondence: Bring any communication you’ve had with the responsible party, their insurance company, or legal representatives.
List of questions: Prepare a list of questions for the lawyer about the legal process, potential outcomes, and fees.
Timeline of events: Be ready to provide a clear timeline of the events leading up to and following your loved one’s death.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your case more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice.
