PFA,CUSTODY,IN/OUT OF STATE FOLLOW UP

When I found myself in an emergency PFA situation with no lawyer, STEVE made me feel welcome and with no hesitation took my case under short notice reviewed it and addressed it, he is a professional of utmost respect and walked with me to the courthouse making me feel safe being that I was, as I'm su...re many are in our shoes, TERRIFIED. Steve finally gave my family and myself the feeling of security and safety by addressing every detail of the court process. NOT ONLY did he find my safety to be of importance but he ADDRESSED my childrens(my main concern) safety immediately as well. Steve was able to review my situation and helped myself and my children get the comfort and safely that we longed for for 7YEARS! On the first court date even the judge apologized for not having addressed our case sooner/properly(in previous custody cases where others did not represent me but only took my money thus adding to insecurities) when I had previously filed alone. I cannot emphasize enough how courteous the staff and MR. Welsh are. Empathetic and with a smile to greet you! Not once did I feel undervalued in this office and my questions were always addressed if not immediately, by the next business day. Now my Children are finally smiling and feel safe, something that we hadn't felt in a long time! YES I CRIED TEARS OF JOY WHEN I SAW THE EMAIL GIVING US FREEDOM! OTHERS WILL MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE THEY ARE IN IT FOR THE MONEY, STEPHEN LETS YOU KNOW HE IS HERE FOR YOU AND IS 100% TO HELP YOU! Excellent way of showing empathy and listening, addressing and following through with a solution.

Probation before Judgement

I was impressed by his representation. He was outstanding in court, and is very knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone. He is very family oriented and his staff is very friendly. Thank you for everything.

Me. Welsh provided good representation during our quest for guardianship. He and his staff are pleasant to work with.

Outstanding attorney

When we found ourselves in some unfounded legal trouble, we called on Mr. Welsh to help us. He was kind and compassionate and best of all he believed us. He was able to use his local contacts to reach out and have our situation heard honestly. He kept us apprised of the status of our case, and whe...n it was dismissed, he let us know right away. Though I would not wish what we went through on anyone, I would highly recommend Stephen Welsh to help get through it.

Great Custody and Criminal Lawyer

I had a bitter custody dispute with my ex wife that involved a criminal trial. My ex wife had accused me of horrible things that forced me to temporarily lose custody of my children. Not only was Steve able to get me fully exonerated, he gained me full custody of my daughter and 50% of my son. Very i...ntelligent and affordable, I could not imagine having a better advocate for my children.
