I had recently transitioned through the divorce process, which was finalized last week. My now…read moreex-husband and I split the cost to hire Joseph Gulliama as the attorney of choice. While he got the job done effectively, there was no encouragement or reassurance provided during a sensitive life transition. I felt the interactions were almost cold and unfeeling due to being overly task focused and professional. While he effectively completed the process in a timely manner, I personally felt a bit uncomfortable at the seeming lack of compassion demonstrated. The task driven professionalism made an already sensitive time a bit heavier to carry. I'd recommend this attorney if you're strictly task driven, but not if you're seeking to feel like a partner through difficult times.

Our infant granddaughter was the victim of a horrific crime committed by her mother, our daughter…read more After our other 2 gdaughters were removed from their parent's custody, we sought visitation. Opposing counsel informed him from the start they wanted us gone. The close relationship he has with opposing counsel took priority over representing us. (he mentioned it many, many times) I was accused, by them of seeing injuries on my gdaughter and ignoring them. The fact of the matter is I was banned from seeing her because I had called the police to check on her. He did nothing to stop them from repeatedly making this false, slanderous lie. (numerous times to the judge ) They falsified reports which he easily could have disputed by simply requesting records but he refused to do so. An evaluation I had by a doctor contained OVER 3 1/2 DOZEN errors, all of which I can prove. (Eval even said I was violent/suicidal when i have NO history of either) He did absolutely nothing. He filed incorrect motions. He did nothing each time the other side was caught lying. The other side said I was rude to our gdaughter's adoptive parents. And I was. I literally feared saying anything to them, knowing opposing counsel wanted us gone and had stooped to slinging lies and false accusations against us.

This will be the most honest and fair review you will read. Dan wants to think he is a nice guy and…read morehonestly in a different situation absolutely he would be the guy that you would hang out with in the summer, bbq with and have a beer with. If that is what you are looking for in an attorney by all means hire him. But if you want one that will fight for you as if his life is on the line, he is NOT the lawyer for you. If you have a DUI and if its even your 3rd DUI you get, I am sure Dan can get you out of it and cut a deal for you. He is very good at deals, as he should be because he is best buds with the guys in the DA's office. That being said, if you think you may have to go trial, don't hire him. He doesn't tell you that, but I will. Dan isn't a trial attorney and he will do things to get a deal that limits you if you decide the deal they offering isn't fair. My experience is that the WHOLE system in Berk County is corrupt. The prosecution doesn't care about truth and defense attorneys only care about getting paid. So they work together and sometimes that is a good thing but other times its not so good. When you watch the attorney you hired being best buds with the prosecution you don't really trust you life to them. Now to be fair Emily is incredible! Without her Dan wouldn't appear half as good as he comes across. Dan has a way making you think he is telling the truth, but I caught him in a few lies. The issue is that Dan is so good at lying, I think he believes his own lies. And if I had not known the truth i would have easily believed him. He is a smooth talker and he prides him self on being able to read people, so if you think he isn't reading you and playing you, you are crazy. So you will read plenty of reviews that will tell you how great Dan is, and maybe he will be for you, but I know if I had to do it over again I would not hire him. My advice is to proceed with caution. I know if you are looking for an attorney you are scared and in a scary situation and feel pressure to get help quickly. Take a breath and remember that the court system moves slow so you at least have couple of days to a week to find a good attorney. Any good attorney will be straight with you, allow you to ask questions, and be open to a free consultation. So do some research on what is going on, and get multiple opinions and prices. Then give yourself some time to think before making a decision. That's where I messed up, I did things based out of fear and that is never good. I wish you the best

I first connected with this office back in May requesting to work with Ms. Smith. I was directed to…read moreMatthew S. Kopecki. I had one long conversation where I ended up paying $1,700 to retain him. 2 months later I did not hear anything from him. This is all for a relocation custody battle I have been having with my sons father for for emotional, mental and physical abuse. I called the office everyday for a week leading to the day before I was scheduled to pick up my son. It wasn't until I refused to hang up the phone where I was able to speak with Matthew. And had to tell him I was not hanging up until he assisted me to pick up my son for July 1st because his father kept telling my son that he wasn't allowed to come with me. I was able to pick up my son after Herculean efforts that I told Matthew would be needed. I have not heard nor spoken to Matthew until today August 15th so you have an idea of the lack of professionalism and common curtesy Over 45 days later. I've sent his PA Tina several emails to which she only responded to one stating she hadn't heard anything from court yet. From August 10-14th I called his office every single day and left voicemails and was able to speak to the receptionist and his PA again Tina saying he was on a call so he couldn't respond. My son has been physically and emotionally abused which is why he no longer wanted to go be with his dad. This morning my sons father was threatening my son through text. Since he refuses to co-parent with me my son told him to call my attorney. He sent Matthew an email. Matthew called me about half an hour ago stating dad sent him an email. I reminded Matthew that I have been calling him all week because my son does not want to go back to PA. Matthew told me my son doesn't have the right to make that decision. I reminded him that I have been calling him and emailing Tina for weeks looking for his legal counsel because he is my lawyer.I expected a respectful response. Instead he started laughing at me and mimicking me for being emotional about my sons case. Saying " I'm trying to help you but you're not listening" as he laughed at me for being emotional. I then asked again I have been calling you expecting legal counsel and you have not responded. He said he never received the message. So not only is he negligent but now it's my problem that his staff is negligent. I am $2,000 in with this office and have received zero guidance and he could not care less about the well being of my son. It's disgraceful to even have this type of legal representation and it be allowed to continue. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. Attached I have a screenshot of the email attempts showing no response as well. Thank you Matthew Kopecki for teaching people it's okay to pay you while you do not reciprocate respect for your clients! O

Craig took the complaint and never read it, strung us along for months and simply didn't exhibit any quality of care for a potential client one should expect from a lawyer tasked with creating doors of opportunity for you future after you've been wronged. Make no mistake about it, cornerstone is not going to be your savior, they are not your kingmaker, they are just another group of lawyers churning out billable hours on your pain and suffering, probably stay away from these guys until Craig learns how to respond to people's emails, calls, complaints, and generally starts to advise on matters of law as they are professionally employed to do....

Josh called me back immediately and carefully listened to my issue to determined what I wanted from the outcome. He asked questions, decided what he could do as a litigating attorney but did not push me into litigation. After Josh spoke to the other party's counsel, he thought it would be best if I did not litigate but try to resolve the matter amicably. He put me in touch with his associate Ken Charette. Ken also spoke with me in detail, discussed my goals and outcomes and what the best course of action would be to settle this case without court. The two attorneys worked as a team and between them, my issue was resolved to my satisfaction without litigation. They both were accessible to me, responding same day (if not same hour) and they did not make me feel inferior because I did not know the ins and outs of the law. I really felt they cared about the results I wanted to achieve and worked hard for me to get me these results. I felt they guided me on the proper way to calmly proceed with courses of action even when I got irritable with what the other party wanted. I would highly recommend these attorneys. Don't hesitate to call this firm.

Fraudulent and deceptive practices. I contacted Chris for a…read moreconsultation about possibly filing for bankruptcy. I was told by email that the consultation would be free. During the consultation, I was advised that if I wanted to move forward in the future, I could place a $200 deposit, which would be refundable if I decided not to proceed. I paid the $200 under that agreement. For over four months, I have been requesting a refund. Each time I called or emailed, I was told the only way to get my money back was to schedule another meeting with Chris. After waiting two weeks for that meeting, it was canceled just 10 minutes before, with the excuse that the lawyer was unavailable. Later, I received a deceptive email stating I would not be refunded because Chris had already "met with me and discussed my options." That is not true -- we never agreed on any options, especially since my primary debt (student loans) could not even be included in bankruptcy. This office took $200 from me under the promise of a free consultation and a refundable deposit. That is dishonest, unprofessional, and shows a complete lack of integrity. If a lawyer is willing to mislead clients over $200, they cannot be trusted with larger matters. I do not recommend this law office.
