Professional and compassionate

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 so...meone 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.

Excellent personal injury lawyer

I highly recommend Joyce Sweinberg as a lawyer. She handle a personal injury case for me. Not only was she thorough she made you feel comfortable. It was like talking to your best friend in detail.

Joyce was a Godsend!

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 an...d 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.

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.

Experience Counts

I have known Joyce for over 27 years and worked with her for a period of that time. She successfully handled my husband’s lengthy Workers’ Compensation case which required an attorney with expertise in that field. Joyce is extremely knowledgeable in all areas of law in which she specializes. She i...s compassionate and will take the time to listen and explain the process of any legal action that may be necessary. Many cases have multiple issues that should be addressed and Joyce will diligently observe and coordinate all aspects of your case. She is persistent and will work hard for the best result given your circumstances. I do not hesitate to recommend Joyce as an attorney who will do her very best for you.

Knowledgeable, Dedicated, Compasionate

Joyce is currently working on a personal injury case for my son who was hit head in a car accident. He suffered several serious injuries. Her knowledge and experience are forefront in her communications, which I think is key to any partnership. She has uncovered major issues that would otherwise has ...gone unnoticed, and for that I am truly grateful. I would recommend her to any one that is looking for a honest, dedicated lawyer that will fight for your rights and much more.
