Excellent Legal Team – Charges Dismissed!

I had a great experience working with Patrick F. Lauer, Jr., Esquire, and Heather N. Orisko, Esquire. They were highly professional, thorough, and dedicated in handling my traffic case. Thanks to their expertise, all charges were dismissed at the Summary Trial. They truly fought for me, and their att...ention to detail and legal knowledge made a huge difference. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for strong, effective legal representation. Thank you for all your hard work!

Fantastic Lawyer. Fantastic Team

Having gone through multiple, unfortunate legal issues within a 2 month range, the amazing duo of Mr. Lauer and Ms. Orisko were just what I needed. They very meticulously ensured we were ready for the preliminary hearing for a 2nd offense DUI and a strange "Loitering and Prowling at Night Time" misd...emeanor on top of it with intent to get both completely dismissed. Mr. Lauer's words "we are in it to win it" rang true as on my court date, he got both charges dismissed and replaced with summary offenses which means no more misdemeanors, no jail, no obscene fines, and nothing else that comes with a misdemeanor. He was able to do this so rapidly that I believe we had things settled before the hearing was supposed to even begin. Mr. Lauer was courteous, friendly, and spoke with the confidence he deserves with his experience and skill. I could not be happier about hiring this firm. Money very well spent.

Professional, proactive, attentive

Patrick & Heather both went to bat for me from the very first moment. I received a phone call within minutes of sending an email to their firm. I was given clear and specific information on how to proceed at each turn. Phone and email correspondence was promptly returned and even my most basic questi...ons were answered respectfully and competently. I was able to receive ARD with no incarceration time and minimal fines. I recommend them highly.

Mr.Lauer and Heather excel in their knowledge!!

My son's case was expertly handled from beginning to end. Mr. Lauer is very knowledgeable and personable. He truly cares for each and every client that he defends. My son was charged with a DUI, but with Mr. Lauer, he was able to get the help he needed to becomes a positive figure in society. My son...'s case was expertly handled from beginning to end. Mr. Lauer and his staff handle many DUI's and DWI's. They are the ONLY firm to call when you are faced with possible jail time or probation. They excel in all areas of the law. I am very pleased with the outcome of my son's sentencing day! With Mr. Lauer guiding us every step of the way, my son gets to stay home with me with no jail time. Once again, I thank Mr. Lauer and Heather for your awesome work and dedication to our son's case!! - Teresa B.

Excellent. Can't ask for better job

My ex filed for custody. From the first counseling we both were agreed on 50/50 plan. I dropped my child off at his residence on the following day and we got in fight over our child at his residence on the same day. As I was assaulted, I called 911 but things got dramatically changed. I was arrested ...and ended up in jail for aggravated assault for 24 hours. As soon as I was released on bail, I started looking for a criminal attorney. I hired Mr. Lauer. The criminal case was dismissed. The criminal charges were expunged. Mr. Lauer helped me with PFA and I was granted against that “monster”. After that he worked hard to study my custody case. He helped me to understand the most important parts of the custody procedures. Basically, he walked me through. We were at the trial and he did brilliant job. I would highly recommend Mr. Lauer.
