Shady and Underhanded
Oh wow it's the idiot from Westmoreland Co. pretending to be an Attorney. You seriously do not want my review... but I may rethink that in the future.

People wrote that he's so amazing and wonderful. That he has amazing customer service and puts people at ease. All you have to do is read his public Facebook to see his true feelings on people. He calls them stupid, talks about beating them stupider, harmful comments on people that oppose his opinion...

Replied last August 02, 2024It's a shame you feel that way. I'd be happy to discuss why you are unhappy. Obviously you are not a client of mine and don't have the moxie to expose who you are by writing something anonymously. You are welcome to respond if you'd like to share your name or you can call my cell at 724 433 8811. I'm sorry if my comments hurt your feelings but I don't take kindly to being attacked on line by someone who is too afraid to even provide a name.

10,000.00 for nothing....
I put up a 10,000.00 retainer, and they didn't know up front that I didn't have a case?! SAY goodbye to your money. It helps to know updated legal issues! Shame on you James Welsh!!

Replied last February 21, 2017I'm sorry you had such a negative experience. From my recollection you came to us in 2010 with a voluminous file and needed immediate help. We immediately began reviewing the file which was already in a losing posture because I believe you represented yourself. We did everything possible for you but unfortunately we didn't prevail. I'd be glad to discuss this matter with you if you would call the office or email me. Jim Welsh III, esq
