Jill Gehman Koestel

She is making me pay $8K to a man who did nothing, paid nothing and scammed me but she says it’s the law. She doesn’t care about what is just, true or right and wrong. Her exact words to me were “Physical abuse is the only one that counts” when I was upset and in shock of how horrible the situation w...as she basically threatened me not to leave the room and awarded a pathetic scumbag who refuses to work $8k of the heard eared money of a single mother working for the county that pays her paycheck. She shouldn’t have a say over important decisions in anyone’s life. She doesn’t care

Was refered to her by several local attorneys who said she was "the best" in Berks County. The best what is what I would like to know. She definitely DID NOT live up to her reputation. Was not receptive to what questions were asked or information given to her to help with divorce and child support. S...eemed as though she was representing my ex instead of me. Did not follow through effectively on blantant contempt by ex. It was if she was bothered by it all! Always sided with the defense lawyer and expected me to accept their offers even though it was definitely not in the best interest of myself nor my children. Was definitely not worth the money she charges to represent someone. I had to call to see where things stood constantly, thank God I did I would have missed several appointments with DRS as well as court dates as well as a conference meeting to agree on post nuptual agrreement which she suggested I not sit in and wait in her office. Process of divorce took almost 2years when it should have clearly been over in less time due to a history of domestic violence and obvious infidelity of ex. Will not recommend her to anyone unless they want to pay to be raked over the coals.
