CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
From the first moment I spoke with Mary there was an immediate connection. Savvy, down to earth, and so good at what she does. There was never a doubt or question as to the status of the case. Mary and her team were outstanding in communication. I was pursuing this case during a very difficult time personally and I was not able to handle any of it. I had trust and confidence in Mary and her team, and they did not disappoint. That is no small thing. Another crucial element in working with Mary, she is empathetic and has a keen emotional intelligence. Believe me, you want that in someone when working through some difficult times. I highly recommend Mary E. Lawrence.
It was difficult finding a lawyer to handle our zoning case. Some lawyers did not return my phone calls and others were indifferent. We were so happy to find Matthew McKeon. He was always friendly, informative and patient. Matt showed a deep understanding of our personal situation and showed empathy during this difficult time. He discussed the pros and cons of our situation and helped us decide the best course of action. I would highly recommend Matt McKeon!
Tiffany is an excellent attorney. She is great to work with and is very timely in her responses to questions or concerns that you may have. She is very diligent in seeking all available avenues for compensation as it relates to your case. I highly recommend her!
Tim was referred by a friend of my brother. He came to my home as soon as I called him about my car accident. I was hit by a car while I was crossing the street. The driver ran a stop sign while I was in the crosswalk. Tim is the constant professional and is very informative. Tim explained the entire process to me and assured me that he was going to see that my health was okay and that I was compensated. He is honest, upfront and was in my corner every step of the way. In the end, I received a large cash settlement and I was very happy with the results. I would recommend Tim to anyone dealing with a car accident.
I wish I’d found Matt sooner. We hired an attorney from Philadelphia for a border dispute that was heading to arbitration. This initial lawyer was overconfident, dismissive of our questions and slow to respond. We did extensive research and then reached out to MacElree Harvey for a 2nd opinion consultation. From our very first interaction with this firm, we were impressed. Our phone call was answered by a live person, Executive Assistant Cheryl McVicker, who was fantastic. She listened to our story, gathered all of our information, promised to get back to us promptly and kept her word. Within a short time, we got a call from Matt McKeon. During the first 30-minute phone call with Matt, he provided an extensive amount of helpful information. In response to additional questions, he did prompt and thorough research and answered right away via email. For the first time in almost 2 years, we felt that we fully understood our case. Matt then brought in a colleague, Brian Forgue, to address certain aspects of the case. His expertise and attentiveness to our case was similarly impressive. Just a great experience. We highly recommend Matt, Brian and the entire MacElree Harvey staff!
I have used Caroline on both my DUI charges and both times she has achieved the best possible outcome for me. Her hard work, knowledge and presentations are beyond compare. She was always there for me, guiding me and putting my mind at ease. I would not have been able to come as far as I have without her by my side. if anyone, anywhere, anytime needs a lawyer I will never hesitate to give them her number. Thank you Caroline again
