Excellent Service on PennDot Matter

Jeff assisted with a Pennsylvania Department of Transportation matter. Not only did he have an excellent grasp of the law and how we should proceed, he expressed true empathy for our situation. Given that I was assisting my mother with this matter and I am out of state, this was of considerable i...mportance to me. I would absolutely recommend Jeff to others.

Excellent attorney

I called Mr. Pollock to retain his services for a local borough issue that could have turned into a civil litigation issue. Mr. Pollock returned my initial communication promptly and spoke very encouragingly to my husband and I regarding our very stressful situation. Mr. Pollock consulted with... us regarding said issue. The legal advice he had given us was well worth more than he charged us. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Mr. Pollock followed up with us after giving us the advice and continued his caring, encouraging nature. My husband and I would not hesitate to use Mr. Pollock again for a legal matter. We've dealt with several attorneys through the years and Mr. Pollock is, in our experience, the best by far. I've also had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Pollock at several charity functions, as well. This only proves to me that not only does he care about his clients, but he also cares about his community and city. If you are ever in need of an attorney, my husband and I highly recommend Mr. Pollock.

"I had the pleasure of working on a custody case with Mr. Pollock when I first arrived in the Pittsburgh area back in 2007. In short, I was blown away with how collegial Mr. Pollock was, as well as how resourceful he was as we resolved the matter. I have kept in touch with him ever since, and would recommend him to anybody with a family law issue. Also of note is the fact that Mr. Pollock is one of the local pioneers in collaborative practice. He is a true asset to the Pittsburgh family law community, and I consider myself very fortunate to count him as one of my colleagues."

"I have known Attorney Jeffrey Pollock for many years. We were co-counsel in a criminal trial back in the late 1980's and I was impressed with his courtroom skills then. And, as I have watched him over the years, I continue to be impressed. I have been most impressed with his compassion for his clients and for his problem solving skills. Simply put, Jeffrey cares about his clients and he gets the job done. Since our introduction, Attorney Pollock has grown his practice through hard work and providing excellent service. I would not hesitate to refer cases to Jeffrey Pollock because I know he will do an excellent job."
