This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Mr. David Z. Lantz help me solve a problem after 10 years other people couldn't

I am so happy that I was referred to attorney David Lantz. I had a difficult estate issue and had a hard time finding a Pennsylvania lawyer with probate experience who was willing to take on the matter. He listened to me, he understood what needed to be done, took care of all the issues and paperwor...k and got me approved as Administrator of my deceased wife’s estate. Thank you David for taking care of my problem.

Very good, competent attorney

Atty. Lantz was recommended to us by another attorney in the area who could not handle our case and we are very glad that he was. Living out of town we had to rely on a Pennsylvania attorney who could help us implement a trust. Atty. Lantz was extremely helpful and patient with all of our question...s and concerns. He provided excellent service and is a highly recommended.

Very responsive

David was very thorough and quick. He was significantly more responsive than any other attorney I've had to deal with and handled everything intelligently. He even found some loopholes for things we didn't expect to find. He looks young, but that didn't bother me. I'd hire him again.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I am a member of the New York Bar and Federal Bar and have practiced law for more than 50 years. I highly recommend David Lantz, Esq. as an extremely competent attorney to process a complicate estate matter resulting in the issuance of Letters of Administration to my client by the County Register of Wills. This estate had been neglected for more than 10 years, the parties had been given incorrect legal advice at the time of decedent’s death and never filed the required tax return or transferred the property. We were turned down by several PA attorneys as not having sufficient experience to handle this situation. Mr. Lantz took care of all the paperwork in an expedited manner and fixed this ten year old problem for a very reasonable fee."
