Top Notch Representation

Unfortunately I had the need for an attorney to advise me on a misdemeanor charge. It was my first experience with the criminal justice system and I needed someone with the patience to explain what was happening and knowledge to navigate me through to the most advantageous result. Ed Paskey was hig...hly responsive to all my questions. I knew if I emailed or called him, I would get a close to immediate response. He knew all the players and gave good advice on what my options were. He was both professional and laid back, which made a scary situation (to me) seem minor. My charge has since been expunged thankfully. As good as an experience as a misdemeanor charge can be! Highly recommend.

Criminal Defense Lawyer for Homicide by Vehicle

Ed is the best. A few years ago I faced double homicide by vehicle charges (felonies). A conviction could have meant spending a year or two in prison among other penalties and my life falling apart. To say the least, I needed the best attorney available. After gathering opinions from friends and ...family regarding the best attornies, I narrowed my search to three. Ed was one of them. After interviewing all three, it was clear that Ed stood out and I would be hiring him to represent me. Ed worked on my case for nearly 2.5 years. Throughout the case Ed kept me informed of all the necessary details. He never "blew smoke" like some other attorneys. In other words, some attorneys will tell you whatever you want to hear, whether the attorney knows what he is talking about or not. Ed laid out the facts and ultimately gave me the guidance needed to have the optimal desired outcome for my case. Ed worked hard on my case, he was always "tuned in" and thinking three steps ahead. Ed lives a good clean life both personally and as an attorney. He can be trusted (people you can trust are few and far between,, Ed is one of them). In the end my charges were dropped to misdemeanors and my life stayed intact. Without Ed leading the way,, my life could be very different today.

Honest, knowledegable, and qualified

I am involved in the leadership of two professional organizations that Attorney Ed Paskey represents. My organizations employ Ed as their chief legal counsel in areas of employment law, contract law, referral services for areas of law outside his expertise, as well as Pennsylvania Act 111 (collectiv...e bargaining) and Act 600 (public pension) law. We've been represented by Attorney Paskey for more than five years. Ed provides solid legal guidance. He is timely with correspondence, meets deadlines, and keeps his stakeholders informed. When it’s time to litigate we litigate, and when it’s time to settle amicably we settle. My experience with Attorney Paskey’s representation has been very favorable. I would use him for my own personal legal affairs, and also highly recommend him to those seeking a qualified, knowledgeable, and self aware lawyer that puts the interests of his clients first.

Excellent attorney

Ed was our attorney when our son was in a situation that no parent would ever prepare themselves for. Our son was in trouble for a street fight that turned deadly. A teenager at the time, our son faced serious charges, possibly being charged as an adult. Ed was diligent about the charges being lowere...d to juvenile court and was very successful with this. He was honest, trusting and very knowledgeable about the laws in our situation. He prepared us for the worst scenario that could be. He did not promise us anything that was beyond his realm. His honesty has earned our respect. He spoke to us in terms that we could understand. He answered every phone call we made to him. Every question we asked came with an honest answer. He kept us very well informed every step of the way. We don't know where our situation would have taken us without the expertise of Ed had we chosen another attorney. He is a brilliant attorney and comes with high recommendations from our family. He handled himself so professionally that when our case was over the FBI personally told us how impressed they were with him. Ed truly is a SUPER lawyer.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Ed Paskey is a credit to the notion of an attorney as a counselor. He thinks proactively, ethically and creatively of ways to not only advance his client's best interests but to keep them at ease through the process. Beyond that, Ed is constantly thinking of ways to counsel the client as a person, rather than a billable transaction. He is a valued member of the profession and the community."
