Poor integrity, very unorganized, high priced, Mary Doherty's billable hours questionable. As with any attorney the longer they drag out the case, the more money they make. Be careful... they suck you in and make an easy case very complicated and long drawn out.

There are no words to express our heartfelt gratitude and profound appreciation for Melissa Boyd’s tireless work to ensure that our complex custody case worked in our favor. Her expertise is second to none! Her considerable time, effort, expert analysis of the intricate details of the case, brilliant skills and knowledge have changed the course of our grandson’s life in a very positive way. Melissa prioritized us as a client and did everything in her power to bring us to a successful outcome. Our family can’t thank Melissa, and her conscientious staff at High Swartz, enough for their dedication and tenacity to bring our case to a favorable resolution.

High Swartz is a great firm. Elizabeth Early in particular is spectacular. She is a sharp as a tack and can confidently navigate all aspects of PA's domestic relations laws. She aggressively defends my interests (and those of my family), but she is also smart enough to realize when a fight is not worth fighting and how to compromise to keep things civil and out of the court room. Liz has been an invaluable resource to me during what has proved to be one of the more challenging aspects of my life. It's not just Liz, but the entire firm. I've had other attorneys work with me, while filling in for Liz, they were great. They listen to me, fully explain my options, and help me formulate the best action plan. I can't express how great Liz and the whole crew at High Swartz have been. I'd highly recommend them.

My divorce was handled by Melissa Boyd. Her expertise and dedication to the job was only part of the process. Missy truly cares about her clients. She went above and beyond the job on too many occasions to mention. I was able to get through a very difficult time thanks to Missy and the team at High Swartz.

Very professional thorough service that kept me constantly updated throughout my entire service with them. I would highly recommend High Swartz LLP and I would definitely use their services again.

Always efficient and timely. Excellent counsel and support staff.

I hired Mr. Hovey when a former employer unfairly refused to pay wages that he owed me. For 14 months, Mr. Hovey walked me through each step of the process of my lawsuit. He always put me at ease and used layman's terminology when speaking to me , although his correspondence to the defendant's lawyer was always highly professional wording. He had an incredible knowledge about my particular issue, and kept me focused on the task at hand. He honestly and quickly answered any questions I had and offered suggestions when I didn't even know what questions to ask. He was more interested in justice being served than in trying to get "big bucks" from my former boss. The case went all the way to Federal court , and I am happy and relieved that he won the case for me. He fought an honest and fair fight and didn't try to gouge the defendant. Mr. Hovey and I both walked away from court today with our heads held high, recouping all his lawyer's fees as well as the salary owed to me from a few years ago. Thank you, my friend!

Mr. Hovey was hired after an emergency child custody situation. With three parties involved in this case Mr. Hovey had his hands full from the start. He helped deal with all parties. He called us on a Sunday for an unexpected situation. Mr. Hovey emailed us while away on vacation due to a last minute change in court dates. We spoke on the phone around my work schedule even when that did not coincide with a regular 9am to 5pm work day. He kept our family updated on the case at all times. Mr. Hovey gave great legal advise and guided us through the entire legal process. Mr. Hovey is professional, dedicated & compassionate. He is our lawyer but treated us like a friend. I would HIGHLY recommend him to everyone!

Matthew responded to an urgent employment-related issue with just a couple of hours notice and gave me some much needed and very sensible advice. He was patient and understanding when I asked him to explain issues to me as a non-lawyer. I would recommend Matthew because I know that he takes a real interest in the case, and he wants to do the best for his clients.

Retained Matt for an unemployment compensation issue. Initial meeting with Matt was very comfortable - he explained all the potential scenarios regarding my case. Matt attended the unemployment hearing with me and he was completely prepared to address all issues.
