Enough years have gone by that I feel OK attaching my name to this review. I engaged the firm at a very tough time in my life. The experience working with this firm was excellent. They are extremely competent in all possible ways, and helped me understand the path to an equitable resolution of my case; the process was the embodiment of the famous philosopher Jagger: "You can't always get what you want, but you might find, you get what you need." I got what I needed: closure, some money, and a sense that a measure of justice was served. It would not have happened without them.

My family and I were in need of an advocate in education law. Never in a million years did we ever think we would be in that situation. We felt the odds were against us and my son was not getting the education he needed. From the first appointment we knew we found someone who not only had expert knowledge of PA Education law but also had a heart of gold. His compassion and knowledge provided us an opportunity to stand up and truly advocate for our son in ways we were unable to do prior. Although we did end up in a courtroom we finally received the best end result. Fred knew how to get the job done! My son now has an opportunity to receive his education in the manner that is best suited for him. The school district has finally acknowledged his disability. Without Fred this would not have happened. Fred takes the time to explain everything to you in detail and really cares about you. It wasn't so much about "winning" as much as it was about getting the best result for my son. Nobody truly "wins" in court but I am proud to say my son has won the right to his education without being penalized for a disability outside anyone's immediate control. As parents we were ill equipped to navigate this process without having an advocate like Fred. Looking back to the first appointment in his office when we were in so much despair I remember leaving with a glimmer of hope. Where we are today as a family is truly amazing. We were able to succeed. Best of all our son is thriving! Saying thank you is simply not enough. I hope others who are in need of an expert in education law can also partner with Fred. Fred will get the job done!

I was refered to Hardwick Benefer's office by a friend. The moment I walked into the office, I felt very comfortable, Virginia was the legal consultant that worked with me on my case. She was a very genuinly nice person. My case took couple months till it was resolved. During these couples months, Virginia answered all my emails and answered all my questions very clearly and fast. I knew that my case will be resolved to my best interest at the very first moment I had my meeting with Virginia during my first visit. My experince was very smooth I hope this review will help people who are looking for a courteous and professtional legal consultant. Thank you again Virginia!

If you are reading this review then your are probably looking for an attorney to represent you at a very stressful point in your life. Having been there, I cannot recommend Hardwick Benfer more. I choose Hardwick Benfer because they are a smaller firm and I felt that winning my case would be more important to them than to some big "conglomerate". I was not wrong! Tiffanie undertook my case and I could not have asked for a more tenacious, hard-working attorney. In fact, I found all of the attorneys and their great support staff to be very approachable and easy to work with. They are very professional in everything they do and surpassed all of my expectations. The amount of effort that they will spend on your behalf is amazing and they always have your back.You won't go wrong in choosing Hardwick Benfer to represent you. Just do it sooner rather than later since, you'll find, time is of the essence.

Wanted to thank you again for the excellent advise and guidance that you continue to give to our business. You have been so helpful and give us peace of mind in any situation we have presented to you. And you are also so sweet and always make us smile!! Thanks to the whole team, especially Tiffanie and Kim!

The team at Hardwick Benfer are the most professional and personable that I have experienced. Virginia was my attorney, and she keep me informed at every stage of my case. When I didn't understand a legal term or phrase she took the time to explain it to me. If Virginia was not available then Tiffani would answer my questions. I would recommend them to handle your case.

Lacks knowledge, overcharges and takes forever to do simple tasks. Simply not concerned or caring about your case, period. Then he will overcharge you and charge 1.5 hours consultation that he initially said was free. Difficult to deal with. Says he will do this, and does the opposite

I can't stress enough about what a wonderful attorney Mr. Stanczak is. His retainer fee is very reasonable compared to most of the attorneys in the area. He is available most days and will work around your schedule and if needed, he will meet with you on the weekend. He listens to your concerns and and will advise accordinglly. Our child has greatly benefited from his services.
