About Joyce

Free Initial Consultation & Case Evaluation - No Recovery...No Attorney Fee. Call: 215-208-8430

If I have answered a question for you on Avvo, you should feel free to contact me by email with any other questions you might have. I am also here to help you find a lawyer to handle your case if it is out of my area of expertise, or if you are geographically out of my area.

I am a lawyer who handles auto accidents and negligence cases which include slip and fall, dog bite, product liability and medical malpractice, work injuries and social security matters. If you are injured, I will come to you. I also have locations to meet with you in Langhorne, Bensalem, Newtown and Doylestown.  I limit the type of cases I handle so that I can serve you personally and know your case thoroughly. 

Many times your problems can involve all three areas of the law. I feel that it is better to handle all of your problems through one office since there are so many issues that relate to one another and need to be coordinated. For example, if you are injured in an auto accident while working and cannot work at all, you may have cases in all three areas. Also, sometimes one benefit source takes an offset or a credit because you are receiving another benefit.  Knowing that two heads are better than one, I work together with experts so that I am sure to be current on the constantly changing laws.  This does NOT affect your cost for attorney fees in any way.

I have been in practice in Bucks County and the state of PA since 1981, and I know many attorneys in many areas of practice throught the state. If you have another type of problem, you can call me and I will try to help refer you to an attorney who can help.

Professional and compassionate

Posted by

I have known Joyce Sweinberg for years. She has represented me in auto accidents and my work injury. She is extremely professional and knows her stuff when it comes to the law. She has helped me tremendously in all of my cases. In this day and age, you will find ads all over the place, but to find someone so human who cares really helps the process move more smoothly. Joyce is that attorney. She always gets me great results and I am grateful.

Outstanding

She got recovery, where I thought was none, by defendants actions to make me, & the accident seem incidental to their company from the first contact at scene...more than the recovery which is the objective, was the way she showed concern, consideration, & further displaying dedication, diligence, & transparency keeping me in the loop, with her contacts/meetings with defendants...I'm more than satisfied that she was my attorney, no feeling of being repped by a big outfit too big to consult with who they're repping !

Personal injury representation

Posted by

Joyce was very understanding and thorough when working with my wife and I. She was compassionate. Joyce performed her job well for us. I would recommend Joyce to anyone looking for a representative to do right by you.
Joyce Sweinberg's response: Thank you for writing such a nice review Brian. I enjoyed working on your case with you and your wife, and bringing it to a successful conclusion; quickly too!

Competent, honest and professional.

From the moment Joyce and I first spoke about my case, I knew that I made the right call. Joyce was always available and I felt confidant that my concerns would be promptly addressed, and my calls or emails always quickly returned. I highly recommend Joyce, and was elated with her excellent service and the results that followed.
Joyce Sweinberg's response: Thanks for the nice review Gary. I was also elated at the results of your case!

Joyce was a Godsend!

Posted by

I was referred to Joyce by a co-worker who was an ex-spouse to Joyce. I'd been in a car accident while on work duty which led to needed advise for a discrepancy in my workers comp benefits. Joyce saw the clear discrepancy and advised me on how to reconcile that issue by contacting my wc claims rep and she also referred me to an associate who specialized in wc cases, in case my efforts were not successful on their own. That issue was quickly resolved but I suffered personal injuries to my shoulder which required surgery. The other driver admitted to being 100% at fault for the accident. Joyce ...along with additional colleges and associiates assisted me in securing a favorable settlement from both the other driver and my own insurance company for my under-insured insurance policy coverage. She also researched a lean against my accident settlements from the Workers Comp bureau of PA and found that there were monitary limits to the lean against my settlements and that I was entitled to the bulk of those settlements, which at first looked like the bulk might otherwise be expropriated. Thanks to Joyce, I was able to improve my financial outlook for my inevitable retirement.
Joyce Sweinberg's response: I am happy we were able to get you policy limits on both policies involved in your case and that you got to keep the bulk, so that your inevitable retirement can be more secure, Bill! It was my pleasure to serve you.

Caring and conscientious

Posted by

Joyce showed genuine concern for my wife's health and wellbeing. She handled my wife's concerns promptly. She was firm in negotiating with the "other insurance companies" and made sure that we received fair compensation as the law allowed.
Joyce Sweinberg's response: Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I really do appreciate it. It was a pleasure to work with you and Heather and I wish you both all the best.

Satisfied Client

Posted by

My Nephew knows Joyce personally and suggested that I call her when I fell and broke my leg in a snowy parking lot on a cold dark night a few years ago. I called Joyce and she made me feel confident immediately that she was on my side and would fight for me! She and her experienced staff took the reigns and handled everything from then on and though there were many tough days and nights due to the severe injury and surgery, I have never regretted making that call! Every step of the way, she kept me informed and up to date with what was going on in my case, when I was needed and what was needed from me. The result was a huge victory and a large cash settlement on my behalf! I have already recommended her to others and will again. Thank you so much for fighting for me Joyce! You are the BEST!
Joyce Sweinberg's response: Thanks so much for your kind words and for having confidence in me...YOU are the best!
