Child Custody

This was probably one of the must Medically complicated and emotional cases any lawyer could ever take on in life. My case went on for almost 5 years and Lee stood by my side through all the long nights and mornings with out one complaint. The quality of work he puts out from, responses, prepping, an...d his knowledge of the law is remarkable and surpassed my expectations. Lee is very well respected inside the court house from judges to his colleagues. Lee studied and learned my sons entire medical back round and it displayed in court as if he was speaking on his own child. Lee is very professional, calm, and patient especially inside the courtroom. Most lawyers are all mostly about money, Lee fees are so reasonable and he works with you. This case was more to him then money, this was the first lawyer I have came in contact with that truly loved his job. He gives the biggest fight when he step foot inside the courtroom. He made me feel so confident that every nerve I had went out the window. Lee gave every realistic option I had and how to go about my situation, and all without bringing up a fee once. He listens and is very good at what he does, and I had a fair share of bad lawyers. Hands down Lee is the best lawyer I have ever came across. Not only did we win the case, the Judge granted me sole legal custody which is very rare. I feel GOD sent me a angel and I will always thank God for Lee every day.

A great lawyer!

I really appreciate Lee’s guidance during my divorcing process. I am very grateful to have him always been there to help me. He led me went through the most difficult and the darkest period time of my life. Lee is not only my legal advisor but also as my friend encouraging me and cheers every step I ...have improved myself. I know that I couldn’t achieve what I did without Lee’s help. I got the highest care and professionalism from him. I will not hesitate to let anyone know how wonderful Lee is if they should need legal assistance. Thank you very much, Lee!

A most amazing lawyer!

Lee provides reasoned counsel that comes from a place of truly caring about his clients' well-being. He helped me get full legal and physical custody of my child and divorce my runaway husband in absentia. He was calm when I was frantic and spoke effectively on my behalf when I had a hard time findin...g my own voice. I couldn't possible recommend him more highly. He is the absolute best, a true mensch.

Horrible Attorney

Went to a pre-trial hearing with this guy and he knows as a lawyer that the law in PA is each parent has a legal right to 50/50 custody. As a lawyer representing me, he should have told me that. I had to do my own research to find this out after I got another lawyer who also didn't tell me this! Beca...use of this I only got custody on the weekends and had to pay child support accordingly until I filed for custody and took over custody myself..
