Exceptional lawyer

I highly recommend Stephen Grosh for an attorney! He communicated with me and allowed me to meet with him unexpectedly and helped me feel secure with the upcoming court case. I know he’s extremely busy but he made me feel that I was worthwhile and listened to everything I had to say whiteout rushi...ng me out which I’ve experienced with other lawyers in the past. The outcome in court was better than even expected and I can’t thank Stephen Grosh enough!

Excellent and honest

Steven helped us with a custody matter for my son, the case got moved out of county and he was still willing to guide us through the process and was available to answer so many of our questions without hesitation . He truly cares about the people he represents and the people of lancaster county. If y...ou are looking for a honest and effective counsel I definitely recommend Steve!

Excellent!

Attorney Stephen Grosh is an excellent choice for your legal needs! I panicked and chose the first lawyer I saw on Google. They were nice til I paid their $1500.00 and then i never heard from them, again. They wouldn’t return my calls and wouldn’t give me their email address. A friend recommended I ...contact Attorney Grosh and I am so glad that I did! I signed on with him and I got an even BETTER result than what I. was told would be the “best scenario”. He answered all my questions and always returned my calls promptly. Stephen is friendly, understanding, caring and honest, but most importantly, he gets the job done. I would highly recommend him!

Great job, very thorough and professional.

I would highly recommend this attorney to anyone. I had a very difficult situation with a tenant staying at my residence who refused to leave amicably. Attorney Grosh did an excellent job resolving this issue, and I commend him on his persistence on following through with i...t.

Bad advice

Told me "baby steps" and to accept supervised visitation when there is no reason for it. Still fighting the supervised visitation. He never stood up to my ex and did not help me at all.
