CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
If you need to navigate a zoning case in Chester County, Matt McKeon is who you want in your corner. He provided expert guidance and was so meticulously over-prepared that the hearing itself was a cake walk. His deep knowledge of variances and permitting is undeniable. He is incredibly well-connected and knows exactly how to get things done locally. For anyone dealing with land use issues, he is the definitive choice.
Patrick was great! We hired him after consulting two other attorneys. We had a situation complicated by Delaware law requiring us to post ads in South Korean newspapers regarding custody and offer proof to the court. The law was unclear about how to go about this, but Patrick guided us through the process and the court ruled in our favor. The adoption went through with no hassle on January 25th and our family is thrilled to now be legal under the same family name. We originally attempted to do this ourselves which turned out not to be a very good idea, way more complicated than we thought. Patrick was able to undo our mistakes and get us on the right path. Thanks, Patrick for your hard work and getting results. We highly recommend Patrick for anyone needing counsel for adoption!
Lance is an outstanding attorney that represented me in a difficult divorce and custody case. Lance from the beginning emphasized doing what was right, not expedient, and in hindsight I am so grateful that I listened to him. This fundamentally changed – or broadened – of the difference between a good family law advocate, and a not so good one. Lance is one of the best.
Caroline helped me out with a dire situation, without going into too much detail Caroline won me the case with her very high-level skill set that she brings as lawyer, these skills are but not limited to, her attentiveness during trials, her competitive attitude, genuine care for client and of course her very clear clean and well organized notes that she brings with her everywhere, on top of all this she always responds in a timely manner although she prefers emails for documentation purposes she will text and keep in touch with client at all times to make the trial process seem very seamless and make an already stressful situation as simple as possible!
I highly recommend her to anyone whos looking to find a reliable trustworthy compassionate and strong lawyer who will not back down from any challenge and always has a plan of action in the very unpredictable legal world of our judicial system!
I can honestly say that without Ms. Tiffany Shrenk! She is more than professional, she CARES!! In my case she went above and beyond my expectations. I couldn’t be more pleased with her help and kindnesses. Everyone I dealt with was wonderful and I can’t thank them enough.
Ashley Stitzer was so tremendously helpful and supportive through my divorce process. She helped drive the overall process, was excellent from both a legal and procedural standpoint and was always readily available. Even as stress mounted and there was the potential to end up in a drug out battle, Ashley was always a calming voice, providing sound strategies and ultimately helping me get to a very great place. My settlement was amazingly fair and Ashely delivered performance above my expectations.
