Mary Beth Reinecker

My divorce/custody/support is more complicated than most. The two attorneys I retained prior to Mary Beth said they could handle my unique circumstances but they both failed miserably. I was worried I'd never find a lawyer who could get me thru to the end with a secure stable future for myself and my... kids. Within minutes of my first sit down with Mary Beth I knew I was going to be better than fine. After going thru my case history she not only mapped out a plan for everything that was to follow, she explained how she would undo some of the damage that had already been done to my case. I have had 7 hearings with her, every time I came out better than I had hoped for or expected and it's all because she knows exactly what she's doing in every facet imaginable. She knew, and told me ahead of time, what each Master and Judge would be like, what my exs attorney is like, the tactics exs attorney would use and how I should respond/react to all of it. I've been thru a lot of hearings, having her prep me with that info was just as useful as prepping me for the case itself. My prior attorneys NEVER did anything like that. I've read and heard that your lawyer is not your friend-your lawyer is there to utilize the law in your best interest and that's it. Well Mary Beth figured out a way to be both. Imagine your BFF is a lawyer and is going to do your divorce- the talks you'd have about the case would be different than with some lawyer you don't know, there'd be more commitment, genuine concern, actual emotions expressed-like laughter, shock, sympathy, encouragement- instead of the cut n dry business only routine from a typical lawyer. THAT'S what it's like to have Mary Beth as an attorney. She is available 24/7 if I need her, she reviews my file often so she knows every detail by heart and to keep her own wheels turning. I read the review from anonymous (of course) who was unhappy that she will call in the middle of the night- I don't see how that's bad! I was never so impressed when she called me at 11pm one night because she found contradicting info in my file and wanted to straighten it out right away. That's MY case, my future she's working on! Im relieved she won't put everything on hold til morning and call me during business (aka billing) hours, but calls me to straighten it out and to get right back to working on my case!!! Another perk- she won't bleed you dry. Instead of charging me 3 hours to take paperwork downtown and get it marked recieved, she let me do it. Those late night calls that come from her reviewing my case, she doesn't charge me for those hours. I don't need to have a zero balance for her to stay dedicated either. After my retainer, as long as I continue to pay the agreed upon monthly bill, she remains committed to it all. If you need a copyright lawyer or a contract attorney- you could probably pick a name out of a hat and make out ok. But if you need a family law attorney then odds are your stressed and worried a lot. Any family law attorney can probably get you a settlement close to what you want, but Mary Beth will get you better than what you want AND her style of practice actually helps YOU get thru it all. Divorce and custody and support matters are emotionally difficult to plow thru. Don't pick an attorney that can get the job done but acts like a robot, pick an attorney who genuinely cares about what your going thru AND will get the job done better than you could hope for. Unfortunately there's only ONE lawyer like that in Philadelphia, Mary Beth Reinecker.

I had a serious issue with custody of my child. I live out of state and my child lived in Philadelphia. I had so many questions and needed expert help. Mary Beth was awesome right from the start. She spent time with me by phone going over the details of my situation and offered excellent advice ...on how to handle the situation. By the time I got off the phone with her, I felt much better about the situation and hired her the next day. She handled everything for me, and everything was done perfectly. Mary Beth is not all about business, she actually CARES for her clients and their children. Now, I have custody of my child, and we can start a new better life for my child together. Thanks Mary Beth! I will highly recommend you to anyone!

Marybeth was "Amazing" and the perfect choice for my daughter and I. She knows the law. She also knows how to handle clients during such a stressful time. There were times when she put me in my place and I listened because I knew she was always giving me the best advice. She knows the law when it co...mes to family / custody and support. Some people want a bull dog attorney to attack the other party...I did not. I wanted an attorney that was smart about how she was going to attack the law for our purposes. Marybeth was great with her wise counsel and human understanding that will always serve as an inspiration to the life of my daughter and I. Thank you Thank you Thank you. I am a single Dad with primary custody of a 1 year 4 month old who is safe and secure and happy ...and now she is 3+ years old and all is well for both of us, thanks to Mary Beth Reinecker. The BEST CUSTODY attorney in Philadelphia County. BTW - She won my custody case and the child support case. !!!!!!!!
