Prior to becoming a lawyer, Casey spent five years as a caseworker with the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare, Office of Children, Youth, and Families. That experience inspired her to pursue family law so she could help divorcing couples keep the best interests of their children as a priority and remain in their children’s lives. As a family lawyer Casey also helps start families by assisting clients through the adoption process.
Casey understands that any family law matter involves a range of emotions that can change frequently throughout the process. She utilizes her psychology training to be a patient and empathic listener, working together with clients to achieve the best possible results. Casey strives to reach mutually beneficial outcomes, but when that is not possible she is prepared to vigorously advocate for her clients in court. With every matter Casey’s goal is to attain results that allow clients to move forward with their lives while protecting the things that are most important.
A graduate of Messiah College with a B.S. degree in psychology Magna Cum Laude, Casey received her law degree from Widener University School of Law, Cum Laude. Casey resides in the Harrisburg area with her husband and their two sons. They enjoy attending sporting events, hiking, and traveling to historically significant cities.

Very happy with Casey's work on my family law situation
Casey helped me immensely when I needed a family law attorney. She wasted no time getting all the paperwork filed and the ball rolling. Now that the dust has cleared, I can't imagine doing any of that alone or how horrible it could've gotten had I hired the wrong attorney. Thank you so much, my son and I are grateful.

Custody Hearing
Casey was just what I needed for my custody hearing. She responded to all of my questions very quick. She also explained everything so that I could understand it. I will be calling her again if I ever need a lawyer.

Trustworthy, compassionate, hard working.
I have been in custody hell for 7 years and there were plenty of times where it felt like things couldn’t get worse. Other parent did everything they possibly could have done to ensure that I would never see my child again. I won’t go into details, but it was really bad. There were times that I thought other parent’s tactics would definitely put me in jail or worse, lose the little custody that I did have. That was until I hired Casey Welsh. Casey hit the ground running, she didn’t BS me, she was compassionate and extremely knowledgeable as well. She quickly saw this situation for what it was and immediately jumped into the ring to battle. She was relentless in her efforts to protect me, her client. And she did. She was MASTERFUL at our custody trial like something you would see in a movie. She caught other parent in many lies and was able to paint a clear picture of their dishonesty. Long story short, I was awarded 50/50 custody. I never thought this day would come, but it did. All because of Attorney Welsh.

We hired Casey for an adoption proceeding. She was excellent, answered every question and email. She was very caring and took the time to explain every last detail. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Utmost professionalism
I hired Casey to represent me in my child custody case. She was very upfront with me about my case and what I should expect. She was always available and very prompt with any questions I had. I was able to see that she is very respectful of the court and that the court paid her the same respect back. I am very pleased with the results that I received considering the circumstances. I will continue to have her and her firm represent me in any future issues.

Wonderful support in a time of desperation
We hired Casey after getting many “I’m sorry, we can’t help you and your case” responses from other firms. She was more than willing to represent us and had extensive knowledge of the courts regarding children and youth services. She was our saving grace. Any question we had was answered and she made us feel comfortable going into and out of the process. She didn’t make us feel like we hired a lawyer, but like we had hired someone we’ve known for years to have our backs. Very down to earth person, very honest yet empathetic to our situation.

Strong, supportive representation
I definitely recommend Casey as representation in custody as a father that has seen much of the court system. Casey is very detail oriented, thoughtful, and shows genuine care and interest in a case. She shares her insight into the matters from experience, yet does not push your decisions, but respects them and fights for what you seek. Between Casey and Tom Clark at the same firm, I was finally able to establish 50/50 custody in an area that is often biased against fathers.

Child custody
I would highly recommend Casey to anyone. Casey and her firm did an excellent job at representing me and caring about my case personally. I was very impressed for a larger firm the type of one on one care I received and there ability to work with you on the financial end really take a great stress out of an already stressful process. Five stars for sure!

Client
I have had an excellent experience while being a client of attorney Casey Johnson-Welsh. I hired her to help gain custody back of my 2 daughters. She has done an amazing job in getting the case prepared and taking care of all aspects of my custody case. She is very efficient and always makes sure everything is done in a timely manner. She would get back to me right away with all answers to my questions and providing all necessary paperwork. My case has not been an easy one in any way especially being that there were 3 parties involved. I would recommend Casey to anyone with a family case no matter how difficult or complex it is.

Professional with a personal touch
Casey Welsh has been extraordinary in working on my divorce/spousal support case.
When I had to reschedule a court date due to brain surgery, she followed up with me before & after my surgery to find out if I was okay & offered encouragement.
I recommend Casey Welsh to anyone who wants/needs a champion in their corner!

Child Custody/Paternity
Casey was an excellent advocate for the entire duration I had her retained. She was the second attorney hired for my custody case, and she did more than the previous attorney. She negotiated the best agreement for all sides, and provided valuable assistance in multiple avenues. I would recommend her and her firm to anyone who is in need of a family attorney.
