I am a criminal trial attorney, and I help clients get their cases dismissed or resolved in favorable ways. I combine a tough work ethic and legal knowledge to help you figure out the problems facing you.
I handle criminal matters all the way through trial for my clients and help them determine when it's best to fight and how to beat the case against them.
Two things matter in picking a lawyer: 1) trustworthiness; 2) knowledge of the issues surrounding your claim. I've handled multi-million dollar litigation and felony criminal charges for my clients, and I work hard to stay on top of developments in the law. I'd be pleased to meet you and see if I can be of assistance to you.

"An excellent lawyer who treats clients with patience, care, understanding, and utmost professionalism - an even better person and I wholeheartedly recommend for future services."
"Joel is a knowledgeable and effective attorney. He is a zealous advocate for his clients and I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone who needs a lawyer."
"I attended law school with Joel and highly endorse him to handle any legal matter. Not only is Joel one of the most intelligent attorneys I know (just look at the number of bar exams he has studied for and passed!), he is extremely personable, honest, and caring. I cannot say enough positive things about this attorney."
"I have had the privilege of working with Joel on a negotiation of a contract for a client. Joel has always been courteous, professional and reasonable while zealously advocating for his client. I would trust that anyone who hired Joel can be assured that not only are they getting a zealous advocate, but a gentleman."
"I had the pleasure of getting to know Joel Ready as a peer and roommate while in law school. Joel has a uniquely deep respect for people and a strong desire to see justice done. Moreover, he has the intelligence and work ethic to finish the job well."
"Mr. Ready is an outstanding advocate for his client and has a deep understanding and passion for the law. He is on the cutting edge of new legal developments in Pennsylvania as well as nationally. In addition to his broad knowledge of the law, Mr. Ready excels at identifying and understanding the needs of his clients."
"Joel is a bright, conscientious and experienced general practitioner. His experience covers a wide spectrum of the civil and criminal litigation landscape, as well as encompassing various areas of transnational law, such as wills, trusts, and estate planning functions. Joel is an accomplished author, including numerous important legal documents involving matters which have been litigated before the U.S. Supreme Court. Joel writes and edits SCOPAReview.com, a website providing coverage of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, as well as running Ready Media, a broad based creative multimedia company he founded in 2008. Joel's multifaceted experience, demonstrated business acumen, legal experience, and most importantly, his integrity, enables him to serve his client's interests with the utmost importance and distinction. I cannot recommend Joel highly enough."
"Besides working opposite Joel at the arbitration hearing in a litigated matter, I have had the pleasure of serving with him on one of our Bar Association committees. I endorse him unreservedly for his collegial demeanor, his legal skills, and his easy-going nature. A decidedly good chap."
"I am happy to endorse Joel. He is smart, compassionate and very professional--the example of every quality a client should be looking for when searching for an attorney to represent their interests. He will tell you the best and worst parts of your case before it is filed. He listens to his clients and works very hard to get the best results possible."
"Joel has an incredible legal mind and a great desire to help his clients. That's what sets Joel apart. His attention to detail and intense passion to make a difference for his clients will serve you well."
"Joel has great communication skills, both in court and personally. He handled a matter for me, which was outside my area of expertise. Constant updates and strategy meetings were a regular part of his persistent and deferential style, which suits me well. He knows that efficiency and results are paramount; thus, every interaction was geared toward my ultimate goal, with his infusion of knowledge on the subject matter and the procedure. In summary: great attorney with an excellent firm and superb managing partner."
"I have known Joel since 2014 and had the pleasure of working with him in a high pressure, fast-moving office – an environment in which he excelled. Also, while some clients may get nervous when first sitting down with an attorney, that’s not so with Joel. His personality and jovial nature immediately puts people at ease and allows him to develop a great rapport with his clients. But don’t let the easy-going nature fool you. Joel is extremely smart and his ability to analyze and break down a problem and find relevant solutions is first-class. I unreservedly recommend Joel for your litigation needs."
"Joel is an outstanding lawyer who gives clients the attention and integrity that they expect and deserve. His clients are consistently enthusiastic about the quality of his service. I highly recommend him."
