Wonderful Communication and Responsiveness

We obtained good results from skilled attorneys, Heather Orisko and Patrick Lauer. They were wonderful with their communication & responsiveness. We would not hesitate to recommend or hire them again, if needed. Our daughter received her first and only traffic ticket for a high rate of speed on a... PA highway. We made the mistake of advising her to pay the large fine thinking that would be punishment enough. Later we realize by paying the ticket, it was actually admitting to a guilty conviction, leading to even greater consequences with insurance, points, and possible suspension. Thank goodness the Law Offices of Patrick Lauer came to our rescue and represented us. They were able to negotiate a plea to reduce the speed of the infraction. The plea also help us avoid making the trip from out of state. Both attorneys worked together to negotiate on our daughter’s behalf. Heather answered my endless questions about options and the various procedures through phone calls and email. She even gave me tips on local hotels and parking for court house. Patrick was quick and to the point while on the other line with the DA’s office, then he called back to follow up. They are an amazing team. Nice people, great service! Our only regret was that we didn’t contact them sooner!!

A Delight!

Patrick and Heather are a delight to work with. It was the first time I've ever had to go to summary trial for traffic court and they made the process less stressful and were helpful in answering all my questions. I appreciated their attention to detail and they treated me with great respect even tho...ugh my case was relatively small. They helped me keep my license and reduced my fine! Thank you so much and I highly recommend!

BEST ATTORNEY IN PA

Attorney Lauer is amazing. I was facing one year probation, but he ended up getting me off with just a fine. If anyone in PA, regardless of what county you live in, needs a defense Attorney, Patrick F. Lauer is the man for you. He cares about each and everyone of his clients and will fight for you in... the best way possible.

Rest Assured

I had a huge legal mess that was dumped on my lap. I'm just a regular blue collar law abiding citizen that got caught up in a contract I didn't understand. The other company was being ruthless and unreasonable. I settled out of court over a civil breach of contract. I also got criminal charges dr...opped from another matter due to Mr. Lauer's efforts. Funny how a lie and lack of evidence can start a snow ball effect to destroy a good man's name and life. I was 100% confused and over whelmed with all the legal jargon and steps that needed to be taken. I even had court dates all mixed up as well. Mr. Lauer took the necessary steps to be patient with me and explain it all in elementary terms. The out come in both matters have been settled so I can go on about my life.
