Unprofessional

Sadly, Ms. Wise says all of the right things and then doesn't follow through with those tasks. My family was exposed to a dangerous situation that could have been avoided if Ms. Wise would have done her job correctly. Giving an innocent family false hope in regards to their well being or the well bei...ng of others, is incredibly unprofessional for someone in this position.

Unprofessional.

Doesn't return calls or seems to have time to talk to the family unless she wants money. Hasn't been to the jail to talk to the defendent and shows up to court unprepared and gave the judge false information.

Incompetent, disrespectful, doesn't know how to communicate

At Beacon Law I had a consultation with Alana. When I gave Beacon Law 4 grand Alana push off to Sonia who had no family law experience. She knows how to spend your money without doing anything. I would talk to her on the phone and she would give me advice. I would follow up with an email about our co...nversation and she would back track and deny what she said. My husband who was arrested for hurting out child has recently filed for divorce. I asked her over a month ago what the next step that I have to take is. I have not received any communication from her. I have to now spend another 4 grand on another attorney because she is worthless. Thanks Beacon Law for pushing off on such a worthless attorney. Personally I think I might report her to the bar or just sue her.

Only in it for the money!

For starters all the reviews are about a month apart. They all must have been small because Sonia's communication skills are limited. An she has disrespected not only myself but my mother-in-law and my husband. This next upcoming paragraph is what my husband wanted me to post on his behalf, the per...son she was suppose to be defending. ANYBODY THAT NEEDS AN ATTORNEY OR IS COURT APPOINTED AN ATTORNEY BY THE NAME OF SONIA WISE, I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU SEEK NEW COUNSEL! SHE DID EVERYTHING IN HER POWER TO GO AGAINST ME IN EVERY ISSUE IVE FIGHTED. SHE HAS BELITTLED ME, DISREPECTED MY FAMILY, THREATENED TO PRESS CHARGES ON MY WIFE FOR TRYING TO REACH OUT LIKE ANY OTHER PERSON WOULD FOR SOMEONE THEY CARE ABOUT. SHE WORKS UNDER REAM CARR ,MARKEY WOLOSHIN AND HUNTER LLP ATTORNEY OF LAW. SHE HAS OFFICES IN DOVER AND YORK PA AN IS CONTRACTED THROUGH ADAMS COUNTY. ANY LEGAL PAPERWORK THAT NEEDED FILED AMMENDED PCRA'S, APPEALS, CONCISE STATEMENTS AND BREIFS. I HAD TO FILE THEM MYSELF, BECAUSE SONIA M WISE WAS TO INCOMPETENT TO FILE HERSELF. SHE PLAYED A DISTRICT ATTORNEYS POSITION WITH HER LEGAL OBLIGATION TO BE MY COURT APPOINTED ATTORNEY. THE ONLY PAPERWORK SHE FILED WAS FOR LAWYER FEES AND I DONT KNOW WHAT THEY WERE FOR BECAUSE I DID EVERYTHING MYSELF. ALL CASE LAWS PERTAINING TO THIS ILLEGAL SENTENCE I WAS FIGHTING TO RECIEVE RELIEF FROM, I GATHERED THEM MYSELF AND SHARED THEM WITH HER. SHES CONDESCENDING, ARROGANT AND MOSTLY INCOMPETENT TO BE LABLE AS AN ATTORNEY. I KNOW PEOPLE IN HERE, FIGHTING THE SAME EXACT ILLEGAL PROBATION SENTENCE THAT I AM. AN THEY ARE GETTING THEIR SENTENCES VACATED AN GETTING RESENTENCE. SHE WILL ONLY FIGHT FOR THE COURTS, NOT FOR HER CLIENTS.

Best decision

I could not have made a better decision hiring Sonia. She went above and beyond for me. I walked away with more than I could have ever imagined. Professional, supportive, caring, compassionate, and just all around...amazing!
