CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Caroline was absolutely awesome to work with. I had been quite nervous being in the situation that I was in, but her calm empathetic demeanor made me feel comfortable and the outcome of my case exceeded my expectations. I am so grateful for her service and would highly recommend her!
My mother used JC at MacElree Harvey for her estate planning and the entire process was great. He was thorough and detail-oriented. I definitely recommend him to help with anyone’s estate planning needs.
Mr. Gallo helped me with legal questions regarding a home title transfer. He was helpful and explained my options clearly. This, in turn, helped me make the best decision for my family and I. Once I made a decision, Mr. Gallo made the rest of the transfer process simple. He also kept me informed in every step of the process. I would consult Mr. Gallo in any other future legal matters without question.
I’m a younger guy who had some fairly serious charges hanging over my head about 10 months ago, and my first lawyer did not make me feel like I was going to get through the legal proceedings without facing serious consequences. This individual was too busy with his many other cases to know details about my case without looking over notes. They were also late to appointments and even showed up to a preliminary hearing 90 minutes late.
On the other hand, Caroline demonstrated an acute understanding of my situation as it relates to the law, and as we worked through my case over the last 8 months, I felt like she genuinely valued my time and that she was really passionate about being as prepared for trial as humanly possible. Caroline was extremely creative about preparing a defense for my case, utilizing a variety of resources that her firm has at their disposal.
Fortunately, we didn’t have to go to trial and were able to work out a reasonable deal with the Commonwealth. However, had we gone to trial, I would have had the utmost confidence in Caroline’s ability to adequately represent me, present my defense, and corroborate that defense with the facts of the case in an extremely compelling manner.
While I do hope that I am never in need of Caroline’s services again, I would not hesitate to hire her again or refer her to anybody in need of a good lawyer.
I hired Lance to represent me in my divorce after a bad experience with another lawyer. Lance was not only extremely professional but more importantly, he is very familiar with the law, sets reasonable expectations which ended up saving time, effort and money for me. I didn’t waste time and money disputing issues with my ex-husband that I wouldn’t have won. His preparation was second to none, which was critical when arguing in court. I would highly recommend Lance to anyone who is navigating through a divorce as his knowledge and preparation are critical for getting his clients a fair settlement.
