CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

This was my first offense and my first time dealing with the Chester County penal system. Needless to say, I was a nervous wreck. Caroline was extremely professional and courteous; armed with extensive knowledge of the ins-and-outs of the local laws and court system, she was able to navigate me through the process and put my mind at ease. She genuinely cares about the wellbeing of her clients and will go above and beyond to make sure you’re taken care of. It was a pleasure to work with her – if I ever need an attorney in the future, she’ll be the first person I call.
Michael

Lance, has helped me navigate not one but two divorces. He’s brought common sense and a level of expertise to an otherwise emotional part of family law. Lance has given me very sound advise concerning my young children as well that was so very helpful. Lance is clearly a person you want on your side to navigate what can be a very difficult time not only for yourself but your family as well.

Keith

Several years after a divorce, new issues prompted me to seek counsel about child custody concerns. No longer confident in the divorce lawyer’s practice, a recommendation led me to Lance Nelson. I truly cannot say enough good things about Lance. He is patient, pragmatic, professional, accessible. Exceptional communication and clear integrity. He laid out the options at every stage, with practical advice regarding the most logical next steps. It never needed to go to court — we were able to manage the situation well enough long enough, the kids aged out before needing more serious legal intervention. In addition to Lance, everyone I have interacted with in the office is equally competent and caring. I would not hesitate to recommend Lance specifically or the practice as a whole.

Jennifer

I hired Tiffany after a motor vehicle accident that resulted in an injury leaving me out of work and in treatment for injuries sustained! She was extremely understanding, professional and a pleasure to work with! Tiffany was persistent and determined to get me a very reasonable settlement. I highly recommend her and her staff !

Debbie

Caroline was referred to me by a well respected fellow attorney. Her level of professionalism, timeliness, organization, responsiveness, knowledge and ability to navigate the legal system was excellent. She made a challenging situation navigable. I respect and appreciate her. Highly recommend.

Lance provided me with legal advice and waived the fee based on my situation. Lance genuinely cares, he’s still in the process of helping us, I am grateful there are still people willing to care enough to assist people in need, thanks Lance.
