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

A huge thank you to Ryan and his entire team--specifically Clara Andrade and Dawn Morris--for always keeping me in the loop and making a stressful process feel manageable. When my family and I were at our most vulnerable, this firm didn't just take our case--they took us under their wing. They fought for us with a level of heart and dedication I wasn't expecting from a law firm I had no previous knowledge or dealings with. They secured an outcome that has made it possible for us to get back on track with our lives. If you want a team that will carry your burdens as their own and treat your family with genuine grace and respect, this is the one.

Needless to say this was around 630 pm on a weeknight and David Tidd contacted me. I was in shock that a lawyer contacted me so quickly. We set up an appointment to get together and discuss our situation. David answered all of my questions and did not sugar coat anything. David was was also easy to work with. He let me know what I needed in order to file and helped us along the way. I even had a lag of time in between months where we had to wait to get an appraisal on our home done due to finances and he did not forget about us. We filed in December and had our trustee appointment in February and the case was signed off on in the same day. Most likely due to the fact that David had everything filled out as it should be and no T was left uncrossed or I was left un-dotted. David was great to work with; he understood the situation and showed compassion. Where most lawyers just want to get your money and and be done, this was not the case for David. I would use David again and I will also highly recommend him to my friends and family. M

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
