Best Lawyer Hands Down MBR

I have used Mary Beth Reinecker as my lawyer for almost 17 years. My divorce and custody were handled by Mary Beth and by no means was it a simple matter. During this time there were a bevy of PFA’s, Contempt’s and countless support matters. Through all of these Mary Beth fought hard to ensure that t...he just outcome prevailed. For a long period of time we were in court almost 3 times a week, we endured a 13 hour hearing and so many modifictions by the time all was said and done my file was about 10 inches thick. Over these 17 years my ex retained about 8 different lawyers and every time there was a new one they would start filing BS motions that had already been heard and dealt with. Through all of this Mary Beth was there for me and my children and with all of the other sides change in lawyers and all the court appearances we never lost one of them nor found in contempt, it was the exact opposite with each time having my custody strengthened and expanded. No hour was to late or to early to speak to her, Mary Beth has come to my home to review my case and prep for court when I wasn’t able to take off from work. She is the absolute best, and represented me as if I were a family member. To give her the best recommendation is the easiest thing, but it doesn’t seem enough! If you are trying to choose a lawyer stop right now because there is only 1 choice and that is Mary Beth Reinecker!

Knowledgeable and compassionate

Mary Beth Reinecker , Esquire handled my very difficult divorce thoroughly. My divorce was contested and I went through a rollercoaster ride of issues. Mary Beth handled all my issues and also protected my interests. She is very knowledgeable about marital laws. Mary Beth always treated me with resp...ect and dignity and was very understanding to my delicate issues. I highly recommend her services.

Great attorney

I went to an enforcement conference without an attorney thinking I wouldn't need one since I have a support order I followed and my ex didn't. My ex brought an attorney and seemed to disagree on everything. The officer scheduled a contempt hearing. Since his attorney was interpreting our support ord...er in ways I never thought about I knew I needed a lawyer. I liked what mary beths reviews said and after my experience with her I agree with all of them- except the one person who said waste of money. Her retainer not only was reasonable- it was worth it. Ex was found in contempt, had to pay all the monies in a lump sum within 30 days AND, because he and his attorney tried to manipulate the support order so unreasonably, Mary Beth petitioned to have the support order modified to include the extras my ex was supposed to reimburse me for. The master agreed w Mary beth that my ex can't be relied upon to be cooperative, that it'd be unfair to make me deal with these scenarios in the future. Now ex has to pay the extras in the support order and I reimburse him! Plus her billing was incredibly reasonable. My last attorney billed me AT LEAST 10 additional hours for every hearing. Since Mary beth represented me in 2 hearings I assumed my retainer would be gone and I'd owe her. Our 2 hearings were only 3 weeks apart so I when I got mail from her I assumed it was a bill. It was a check for the difference in my retainer and her bill. She's the best you can do.

Top Notch

Just finished our custody case and very happy! Hired her based on prior reviews and they were right. She ALWAYS had time to answer my questions - which were many and never felt rushed and just genuinely cared! getting ready to post this And saw the bad review. Wow, that’s wrong! Your prob one thos...e people who complain about everything. MaryBeth gave me option to research school info myself. Other lawyers would do it themselves and charge you hourly for this. Why pay an hourly price when it’s something able to should do anyhow and I️ know what type of schools my kids should be attending. Complaining about saving money... ok?!? I’m so grateful I️ had the option, other lawyers wouldn’t do this. Also appreciated a call at 8pm if she was checking on my case - rather that than being bothered at work. She is very conscience of your work schedule and works around you, not other way around , which was amazing. Don’t listen to that bad apple - they didn’t even leave a name!, prob just a bitter person . Mary Beth was always prepared and knew my case inside out. All the other reviews were accurate. You will be happy you hired her.
