Gail Marr

I hired Gail as the Attorney to represent my son for his DUI charge that he received last fall. I found Gail to be very straight forward, honest and direct. She reviewed the details of the case and was very thorough in her representation of my son and was able to have the DUI charge thrown out during... the hearing. I would definitely look at hiring Gail in the future if some other legal issues would arise. As I said earlier if you want a no nonsense, straight forward and ethical person to represent you, I would not hesitate to tell you to give Gail a call.

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.

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.

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!!!
