Ms. Frankmar is Fantastic!

I hired Ms. Frankmar to file a court in order to have a delayed birth certificate created for my grandmother for dual citizenship purposes. She responded promptly to my initial email and was extremely communicative throughout the entire process. She knew exactly what to do. She went out of her ...way and dealt with a jurisdiction that was far away from her office. She gave me exact instructions in terms of what to fill out and was honest about the likelihood of the court order succeeding (the likelihood was high). She had absolutely no problem meeting (and exceeding) my expectations. She went above and beyond for me and I would hire her again in a heartbeat! I strongly recommend Ms. Frankmar for any Pennsylvania vital records-related court filings. I certainly have recommended her to multiple people already and they have all been satisfied.

Gets it done...

Ms. Frankmar inherited my case about 3/4 into what seemed like a forever ongoing divorce process. After a brief conversation with with her to make sure Ms. Frankmar had all the facts and supporting documents to work with, my case was completely finished within 6 months. Pernille is very punctual, d...etail oriented, and an excellent communicator, who returns calls or replies to emails within hours. She provides you with all possible scenarios, whether good or bad, but most of all she tells it like it is without sugar coating it. Ms. Frankmar comes highly recommended.

Tells it like it is!

Perhaps the thing that impressed me most about Pernille was nothing was "sugar coated". She was very straight forward and told me what to expect each step of the way. I could speak my mind to her but, no matter how upset I was about the situation she always presented the facts of what was going to ha...ppen. Going thru the separation and divorce from start to finish, Pernille kept me informed of each step and what the options were and what the risks were. There were no empty promises made just to keep me happy. When calling the office, Pernille took the phone call when she was available and if she was unavailable there was a return phone call usually within a few hours. Perhaps the best thing I can say is that I really felt Pernille was on my side and knew what battles we should fight and what we should concede during the divorce. Divorce can be very emotional at times for the parties involved and Pernille really helped me keep things in perspective with her straight forward approach. Without a doubt, I would reccomend Pernille Frankmar for one's legal needs.

Loyal Divorce Attorney

After 2 failed attempts at divorce attorneys, I found Pernille. What I loved about her was her quick response and how she had my back the entire way through the very long and very difficult process.
