Trusted Professional

I highly recommend contacting Edith Pearce. After an accident I was in, I was scared and worried about the medical bills. Friends suggested I contact an attorney, and I'm so fortunate I found Pearce Law! She reassured me and was patient in answering all my questions. She handled all communication wi...th insurance, doctors, etc and provided timely updates. I especially appreciated her quick response time! She and her team worked their magic, and I was so surprised and grateful when Edith personally called me about receiving a settlement. I can not thank her or recommend her enough!

Top Notch Litigator

Attorney Pearce is my first call when referring or seeking a consultation on PA employment and other litigation matters. She unerringly knows the law and procedure and how it will play out in court.

Sharp attorney's

The Pearce Law Firm did an excellent job representing me and obtaining a fantastic settlement. Their attorney's and staff were competent and also held my hand through the process. I appreciated their kindness and empathy for what I had been through. I did not have to go to court, which would have bee...n a traumatic experience, because they were able to negotiate a settlement. I had spoke to several attorney's who did not want to bother with my case since it was complicated. The Pearce Law Firm took my case and had the know how to secure me a nice settlement. They are sharp attorney's - thank you Nicole Vitale for believing in me and being smart enough to take on my law suit and win. The settlement has given me peace of mind that I received justice. Thank you so much!

How is this wonderful Woman and Attorney even possible??? If you don't like lawyers, you will LOVE Edith!

If there were 10 Stars, Edith would get them from this Client, right here! I can't even begin to start to tell you how amazing, kind , conscientious, non-scheister-y and, well....how non--lawyer-y, this Attorney is. I was really scared when I got hit by a car and my ankle was broken. Also, I felt ...super bad about the thought of "suing" someone. I thought that was something that people who were trying to get away something. Thank goodness my boyfriend said "you've got to get a lawyer and another good friend--reccommended Edith highly. Thank God I didn't go to one of those awful companies (you know the one on the tv ad) as a friend had an awful, impersonal experience with them. From the start, Edith made me feel comfortable, attended to, and like I was literally--her only priority. She got me into her office immediately, got me to doctors and specialists within days, re-directed all of my medical bills (which were sizeable) to be deferred until my case was settled. After that she went to work doing her magick. What I was so struck by --was the thorough and dilligent follow up--let's be honest, how many businesses--let alone lawyers--hold themselves so accountable--that they follow up with YOU first. I never had to call Edith once to see how my case was coming along. She always called me to give me periodic updates on how my case was proceeding and what she might need from me next--and also what were the next steps. Then finally, once everything was compiled and submitted, within months, honestly even more quickly than I expected, I got a phone call from her. I never in my wildest imagination thought that I would get a settlement, but Edith got the max paid out from both the other insurance company---and also from my own for personal injuries--which I had no idea I was even entitled to. I could not believe it--truly awestruck and I feel eternally grateful and blessed to have found her. Once payment was received, again she called to have me into her office promptly and once again--much quicker than I expected-- I cannot stress enough--how amazing her services are. Her "bedside manner " is also incredibly sensitive, kind, considerate and --dare I say it--gentle! When does that happen??? I actually hugged her on my way out of the office. I would highly reccommend this incredible attorney for any personal injury case, or any other case besides. She went above and beyond, as did everyone else in her office. they don't make professionals like this any more. Sincerely, Jennifer N.

Takes on the'Big" guys

Edith Pearce is a fierce and intelligent lawyer that isn't afraid to take on the 'big' guys, be it a large corporation or the city of Philadelphia. She works hard to fight for your rights and get you just compensation. Having Edie on my side against the city of Philadelphia was like having a friend o...n my side and she wouldn't take no for an answer when the city was determined not to settle. We went to trial and won. I was so happy to have Edie on my side and quite happy with the results.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
