Avoid if Northampton County is involved

Please do not use this attorney for any issues in Northampton County Pennsylvania. My stalker is now doing 5 years in this county. In 2021 my stalker used Northampton and Lehigh County connections to arrest me. Ms. Marr and her associate that attended my May 22, preliminary hearing at Judge Manwar...ing's office in Bethlehem Pennsylvania saw, heard, observed my stalker and her husband feign hysteria. My stalker, her husband, and the former Bethlehem Police Chief waited outside this office. Everyone else left. My Stalker's husband tried to approach me. My stalker asked if I needed a ride home? After almost 15 years! My stalker continued to follow, harass and spread defamatory lies against me to my departure in June 2025. With the help of the Northampton County Detectives.

Do not use this firm.

My best advice for anyone is to steer clear of this firm. I hired this firm to help me approximately two years ago. After multiple follow ups and inquiries on the status of my case, I received little to no response. I was never given updates on filings or petitions or for anything at all. Afte...r escalating the issue and threatening to report them to the disciplinary board and the attorney general‘s office of Pennsylvania I finally received a response. Their response? Little to no work was completed on my case, as they did not have proper paperwork signed, and had never requested it from me by their own admission. I would tell anyone considering using this firm to steer clear. Do not waste your time. The only saving grace for them was that after wasting nearly 2 years of a legal action that was affecting my life. They’ve offered me a refund on my initial payment. If I could give them zero stars I would.

Posted by anonymous | December 27, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Do Not Recommend for Bankruptcy

I originally saw Gail Marr for chapter 7 bankruptcy. I had two private student loans that I could not pay due to a disability. It was a complex case but bankruptcy seemed to be the best option. Our first meeting was not even 20 minutes long and I was told these loans would be easily discharged! She... didn't look at any of my loan documents or advise me of the process or possible outcomes. It wasn't until I took the required credit counseling and spoke with a representative that I realized how difficult it would be to discharge student loans. When I called to ask questions she was never available, never returned a single phone call, and she never sent any communication/copies to confirm what was happening with the case. When I scheduled a 2nd meeting she didn't have anything prepared and politely asked to reschedule. I understand lawyers have busy schedules and I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but then she asked to reschedule the 2nd meeting again just a few hours before our appointment! When we spoke on the phone she again apologized and asked if we could meet quickly to sign the paper work since it had already been about 2 months since our first meeting and nothing was done. We didn't even meet at her office supposedly because of traffic. We met halfway at a convenience store and even then I arrived first and was waiting a good 15 to 20 mins before she arrived. Once she did arrive she realized there wasn't any place to sit and go over everything so we ending up sitting in my cramped car. Signing papers on my steering wheel and discussing financials in a busy convenience store parking lot is beyond unprofessional but I could have let all that go if I thought she was actually going to help. But as we quickly went over my list of creditors she didn't seem too familiar with Navient or that Navient was affiliated with Sallie Mae and serviced both private and federal loans. I decided not to go through with the bankruptcy at least with this lawyer and law firm. I fully believe if I did continue I would have spent $1,200 for a lawyet to discharge credit card debt that added up to a little more than the total I would have paid them, and I would have been left with $50,000 in student loans still. At least the first payment I made was refunded but I wasted 4 months with an attorney that was clearly too busy with other cases to take my case or didn't want to admit to her lack of knowledge handling student loans in bankruptcy. Either way I would not recommend this attorney for bankruptcy cases.

WOULD GIVE NO STARS IF I COULD

Why do people on here say this lawyer is helpful? I hired her for my DUI in bucks county and after I gave the $$ I couldn't reach her. I called and called and they told me she would call back or an assistant would call back but I couldn't get in touch with her. Then she showed at my first hearing... and tried to make it seem like she knew what was going on but I saw her triying to get up to speed talking to the police officer and reminding herself who I was and what my case was about. My friend from community college recommended her because she handled his DUI case but I would never recommend this woman. I already paid her so I went thru her handling it but if you want your lawyer to ever call you back then find one who keeps track of cases and returns calls!!!

BAD FOR DUI CASES!!!!!

We hired her for my DUI last year and the case has been going on and on. I said I thought the police didn't have the right to treat me the way they did. This woman keeps asking me to just plead guilty and she'll keep me out of jail and I'll just get house arrest. Well I don't want either one!!! S...he never challenged anything so far....just went to court and talked to people. I want to FIGHT MY CASE! Don't hire her if you want to look for any defenses because she just wants money and then not fight for anything.
