Best attorney in PA

I was faced with the possibility of not seeing my newborn daughter for. I reached out to Enrico and immediately knew he was the right attorney for my situation. With his vast knowledge, his finesse and extreme attention to every detail, he faught for my rights as a father. He paid special attention ...to me as a person and took the interest of my child first and foremost. I can honestly say that without Enrico, I'm not sure where I'd be today. He faught for custody and child support to find a fair and balanced outcome for me and my daughters mother. If you are undecided about which attorney to retain, I highly recommend Enrico and his staff. They are knowledgeable and caring, ready for whatever might come in to play to reach a suitable and fair arrangement. Thank you Enrico for everything you've done for me and my family! My daughter is happy and well adjusted. Reach out to Enrico and his staff for all your family law needs, you won't be sorry and can thank me later! Best of luck to anyone in need of a family lawyer Enrico is hands down, the best!

Divorce, Support, PFA, and Custody

Mr. Pagnanelli is a highly intelligent, and skilled family law attorney. He represented me on a hotly contested divorce, and custody case, with the other side playing dirty. With his help, I obtained very favorable outcomes on each case that finalized. His sister Maria repped me in court, and fiercel...y fought back extensive and outlandish demands from opposing counsel, which ultimately tipped the divorce in my favor. She is articulate while answering questions. They also offer comparably affordable rates for their service.

Top Notch No Nonsense Attorney!!

Enrico Pagnanelli is an amazing skillful lawyer who was not swayed by a manipulating opposing party. He was patient and encouraging through a long ugly process which ended with me being able to save my children from a horrible environment even when DHS wouldn't. I could not of picked a better lawyer ...to represent me on a relocation and primary custody case. He worked diligently to make sure that there was a positive resolution for me and my children, and I brought my babies home that same day!! I am forever grateful for the true peace he has brought to an entire family. He is a no-nonsense strong knowledgeable attorney who will fight for what's right no matter what the obstacles. Thank you Enrico!!! I definitely recommend this lawyer!!! A+++++ Forever in our hearts!

Lawyer Review

To a parent in need of a good attorney, I highly recommend Testa & Pagnanelli. They truly have the best interest of children in mind and at the same time a high regard for equal parenting rights. From the day I met the team, they listened to my story, and they immediately helped to frame it a...s it pertains to law. Specifically, Enrico Pagnanelli, paid close attention to detail and made me feel like I was in good hands throughout the entire process. He didn’t always tell me exactly what I wanted to hear, but it was clear he always had my family’s best interest at heart. Enrico’s depth of knowledge and experience regarding family law helped us to make fair and firm decisions during a tumultuous time in my life. They were well prepared, aggressive and really fantastic at trial! Because of Testa & Pagnanelli I am enjoying much more time with my son, and he is thriving under our new arrangement, and I am forever grateful.

Excellent Family Law Attorney

Testa and Pagnanelli is the best firm law firm I have ever come across. I searched long and hard and conducted a number of interviews/meetings with lawyers and I could not find any that exhibited the combination of patience, care, passion, and knowledge that I found at the law firm of Testa & Pagnan...elli. While both Testa and Pagnanelli are equally wonderful, I had the pleasure of Mr. Pagnanelli represent me in my divorce case - and I have to tell you, it was the best decision ever! Mr. Pagnanelli is a rare find.....he possesses such a humble, friendly, and caring attitude with his clients...and I must add, extremely knowledgeable about family law!!!! He took the time to answer every question, email, and phone call in such detail that a five year old could understand which made the difference in my understanding of all the laws associated with my divorce. Throughout the entire divorce process, I felt a sense of calm and peace because I knew he had my best interest and would handle everything that had to be done. I am such a control freak because I don't believe people can get done what I can get done and to the degree that I would personally handle things. But, I have to say, I felt good about relinquishing control to Mr. Pagnanelli because he was on top of everything - every required filings related to the divorce, to the property settlements, everything...what a pleasant relief to know that I did not have to stress about anything because he is so efficient! Further, if Mr. Pagnanelli was not available for some reason (maybe in court), his partner was always there to jump in and communicate with me in his absence. The entire firm is supportive and responsive beyond measure! If you want lawyers that really care about what you are going through and hold your hand and lead the way to victory, then you want the lawyers of Testa & Pagnanelli.......more than what you could ever ask for!!! They care and they win!
