It was in self defense but they found the gun i defended myself with and were going to put me away for 5 years.

He did another spectacular job when I was facing 110 years in prison and he got it negotiated down to 2-5 years. Around 5 years ago his daughter got a gun charge of 2 to 5 years in prison negotiated down to 4 months house arrest , community service.

Their conjunctional efforts and dedication for my case made me feel more relaxed knowing they were advocating for my son on my behalf. Dealing with lawyers, judges, ect. can be such a long, stressful draining and upsetting process and I could not think of anyone else I would want in my corner then the Ramseys. It is really hard to make someone who doesn't know you stand up for you and break things down into terms or words that are familiar to you. They both put all efforts into this case and we collectively are grateful that they choose to take this case and take all the stress and fight for my son. Your faith, knowledge and determination were admirable and I can do nothing but thank you every time I get for fighting for me. Many blessings.

We were referred to this firm by friends at our meeting house. The interaction with Emily was…read morepositive. We felt comfortable enough to schedule an appointment. Because of the nature of our needs, I wanted to meet in person, knowing that eventually we would work with this firm in the future on a much bigger project. When we arrived, we were notified that Emily had a family emergency and instead we would meet with her assistant. Disappointed, we gave it a pass, emergencies happen and we dismissed it. After meeting, we decided that before we could move forward, that we really wanted to meet Emily first. So we set a Zoom. After the meeting, we felt comfortable enough to move forward. We needed a law firm that we could depend on and we thought we found it. We were told to give her 3 weeks and she would have the first draft for us. Along with the draft, she also promised to send some information regarding legal terminologies used in the document. Three weeks pass, nothing! So I emailed her to ask for an update. NO response! So I wait 3 more weeks, nothing! I emailed a second time asking for an update on week 6. I got an automated response that Emily was on vacation and would contact us when she returns on Monday July 6. I waited until July 15th NINE days later to call. I was told that she was in a meeting and asked if I wanted to leave a voicemail. I left a voicemail in the morning indicating that if we did not get a return call by the end of the day, I will consider our business concluded. I decided to instead give her until close of business on the 16th. Well, nobody from her office contacted us! No Emily, not her assistant, not her partner, Nothing! I understand that things happen and if there were personal reasons why she failed to contact us, at the very least, her assistant or somebody at her office should have made an effort to reach out with an explanation. Imagine, if during this time, something happened to you and/or your significant other. Imagine my situation where the guardianship of my son went to the wrong person in our old will! Think long and hard about using this firm! Will they be there for you when your family needs them? To be honest, we really felt good about Emily. However, when it comes to my family, I simply can't leave our financial affairs and protection of our son in the hands of a firm that's not going to be there when we need them the most. Therefore, I do not recommend this firm.

The settlement of the house was complicated because the owner bought the house from a foreclosure sale. Settlement was repeatedly postponed due to title issues. We obtained the services of Mr. Marc Jaffe to ensure our interests were protected. Mr Jaffe did a fantastic job. He was always available, very knowledgeable, and always had our interests in mind. He gave us sound legal advice and we were very happy with his service. I would recommend Mr. Jaffe to anyone with a real estate issue.

Attorney Mary Lawrence, along with Attorney Caroline Donato are two exceptional professionals,…read moreprominent figures who stand out through the commitment of words and actions united as one. It has been my experience that MaCLeer Harvey has a long history of assuring that they all contain the willingness to go above and beyond, seeking truth and justice. This Firm, especially these two outstanding women Attorneys, deserve recognition for their integrity for assuring our laws are upheld. That every individual who walks through that firm's doors, are 110% respected. I was brought in after being slain by another members of our society. A man with a severe character consistences of self-centered, antisocial, dishonesty, easily manipulates others as he easily seeks them out, he lacks compassion, or a conscious. His only thinks of himself or, "what's in it for me". He's a 45 year old alcoholic from the videos I watched with him in his blue bathrobe during a blackout. He met his 24 yr, when he was driving her to her BF home in Wayne, he was the uber driver. ASAM reports alcohol as a disinhibitor," it will tell us things like, I've only had a few drink's after work, I'm okay to drive home, I fine." No of this thinking is accurate or true. Alcohol is dangerous and it's quite easy to build a tolerance. A person starts with drinking only on Friday's, then it becomes the weekend, with it eventually become more frequent, plus more fot its affect. It's a chronic, progressive, treatable, & if not treated, deadly. I came to this firm from a violent assault by a man who was impaired by his smell as asphyxiated me-per doctors and my wounds. This firm, along with Attorneys Lawrence and Attorney Donato, helped hold me up after a horrific, violent beat down. They offered hope. They seek each clients personal path, exposing truth, and holding the perpetrator accountable. The willingness and fearlessness to seek that root of pain and suffering. Where I'm dying inside, is unmatched. Nothing will stand in their way of exposing truth. Many people today lack inner morals or integrity. This is really about themselves. These self-center and self-entitled individuals have no problem with stepping on others. They are actually bullies and especially find enjoyment with harassing, threatening and bullying innocent individuals, especially those who try to help grow others. His enjoyment of getting away with hurting others and love of what's believed to be powerfully dishonesty, yet in truth they are just bullies and big cowards, pushing around someone smaller and most likely smarter then themselves. Liars and cowards are willing to go to any lengths to point fingers at others without viewing those other fingers pointing right back towards themselves. These criminals have yet met the firm who, fights to prevent innocents, while ensuring our nation's legal system, especially our personal rights are protected and preserved. Lawyers do cost, and that was a challenge for me. While I was still very sick after a violent assault, within a luxury apartment my company/LLC held as the only and entire guarantor for payment, an apartment for safe, daily structured programming made to meet the vetted team of top Philadelphia and local providers, assessing, testing, and re-evaluating diagnosis usually not from psychiatrists ( at inpatient facilities). This team handles all clinical aspects,as we meet with them and monitored how a client is accepting change while learning to live a healthy sober lifestyle, holding a FT job, or FT schooling, a complete family restructuring of broken promises and relationships with the goal to launch into their own made life based on the 4 Agreements and a becoming knowing of self with a 12 Step community commitment building relationships with their own sex vs. the distraction of the opposite gender. while an exclusive contract made to be in specialized 2 years into being harassed and abused by my past employer, who have tons of hard cold cash from their dishonest told to staff, the community and past patients. They even interfered with playing on fears with disrupting and without consent reached out to my firm. It's so critical and I truly cannot stress it enough, that staying close to a solid, ethical, safe, respectful and supportive Attorney and their powerful firm, must take priority. When past employers or relationships that haven't been around in 2 years, reappear, also weren't there when the narrative of pain started, they are not looking out for your personal growth and safety, they tend to have an unseen dirty motives. When the Firm you've hired are the actual ones who will seek, find, and discover all the illegal practices their client was forced, threaten, harassed, plus gay bashing was seen as acceptable just because you held a large amount of the organization's honesty and could easily " whistle blow", please stick as close as you can to your attorneys, their motives are trust and justice.

She did no follow up nor division of assets. My wife has been divorced for a year and a half and she has ignored all phone calls, emails and we have tried the admin as well. Borderline crimininal. I am having to oay a retainer for another family lawyer due to her negligence and lack of follow up. I have never submitted a yelp or google review. Our experience with her and her firm has been so disconcerting I felt it necessary to in hopes it will disuade another down this path.

I am a senior advisor and practitioners myself and I have recently received conplaints the firm forces seniors to buy into title insurance (legally optional) far more expensive than other attorneys which is commission driven and will not work with anyone who will not subscribe to these fees in closing documents.

I've leveraged her multiple times over the last 8 years and each experience is met with professionalism, expertise, transparency and candor to ensure I clearly understand my responsibilities. I've made a mistake last year attempting to leverage my company's legal insurance provider list through ARAG (AragLegal.com) and leveraged an unfamiliar family law attorney in Kennett in which was a complete waste of time as we never executed the WILL, POA, etc.. that he drafted and instead returned to Anita for the experience I've come to expect. She has offices in Kennett and Oxford and is best in class for Chester County.

Anita did not follow my father's final wishes, despite my family asking MANY times for the estate to be closed. We were not a priority for her. We were put on the back burner again and again, and now will never be able to recoup the money that was lost. At the end all we got was a "I wish I could make this right." But instead of making it right, she withheld tax documents in retaliation for consulting another lawyer. I could not file my income taxes or the taxes for the estate. The stress this woman caused me has taken a toll on my physical health and mental well being. I would never recommend using this firm, there are many other better choices in town.

The Delaware County Bar Association is a great, FREE resource for local residents!…read more At some point in our lives we all need a lawyer, from wills to lawsuits, they perform the legalities of life. * * * $30 LAWYER CONSULT TIP * * * Something many people don't know is that by calling the Bar Assoc to ask for a referral, you are given a few attorney names pertaining to those who specialize in your particular legal issue (if you don't know exactly what kind of lawyer you need, they will figure it out for you). When you call for an appointment, if you tell them you were referred by the Bar Assoc, your consult is only $30!!! Granted, this session is technically limited to 30mins (while many initial visits are normally an hour), however most lawyers appreciate the referral, and give you all the time needed for that same $30 fee. (Many attorneys charge $100 or more just to have you walk in the door.) I have called the Bar Assoc for advice on law research as well, and have been helpfully directed to the legal library at the courthouse. The people taking calls at the Bar Assoc are always knowledgeable, helpful, and concerned about making sure your issue is taken seriously and is properly addressed, which is really important, but not always considered in the legal field. I really give them kudos for such a well-run system, and such a professionally compassionate reception staff. ***If you have not been to the legal library at the courthouse, it is a very cool place to visit! Its official name is the Francis J. Catania Law Library (or Delaware County Law Library). You know the uppermost room in the crown of the courthouse building, with all those windows? That is the legal library. Go up and visit and you get a 360-degree view of Media and far beyond. It is super cool. The librarian is a nasty strict person, and the decor is getting shabby and worn out, but there are some neat old portraits, some beautiful old woodwork, and it is a 2-tiered space, which is so regal and antiquated, it feels like stepping back in time.

I am a previous client of Michael Forbes and was just looking him up to contact him again because I…read moream desperate to get some legal advice from the only attorney I can say that I trust even though it is not in his area of expertise. I happened to see this review and simply want to leave my personal experience and opinion of not only his handling of my case but on a personal level. I had contacted at least 50 attorneys to represent me and every single one hung up after I asked if they had any flexibility on the normally large retainer expected or alternative financial arrangements for payment. Most did not even listen to the outrageous events surrounding my case. I called Michaels office and spoke with Nancy, she was so kind and listened to me and genuinely cared about what I was saying. Nancy was fantastic and made me feel like she had nothing to do but listen to me, she told me Michael was busy and would have him call me back. Which he did, and he was a bit more quick on the phone, slightly less interested in the emotional parts that although, I felt the need to include, he knew they had no impact either way legally speaking. My case was by no means something to build a legal career on , or even add to a list of accolades for that matter - it was actually a miniscule little case in the grand scheme of thigs but he agreed to help me. So the screening process the last review suggest is not at all factual. He and I had numerous conversations over the 2 years he fought for me- ending with a resounding win- we butted heads sometimes over the phone because of his time constraints and slightly strong demeanor. With that said I try to be very understanding of the other persons view. I have come to realize how much he taught me over the course of all them phone calls, when I learned to listen that is.....lol. The fact you got a call back from any lawyer in a ten minute time frame should have been an indication of the caliber person he is. He is all about business and is looking to maximize his available time in order to serve his clients. To fault a lawyer for them characteristics is a mistake, trust me! So when calls and emails were not returned in a timely fashion - I would follow up and if still not returned - I would follow up again. No matter the rate of call or email exchange that I may have wanted , The fact is he always called, emailed when it was most important. I learned something that is a still a core part of how I live to this day. Most times offense is taken and not given. If you want a lawyer that has the time to talk at your every whim - your not looking for a good lawyer. You want a no nonsense, no time wasted, effective lawyer- then look no further.
