CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
I was a client of Tim Rayne in the Kennett office for over 3 years. He and his staff were incredibly patient and understanding, despite a brain injury that left me unstable, confused, anxious, depressed, and in pain. Not being able to comprehend the what’s and why’s of the circumstances surrounding you is a scary place to be. Tim’s group was always on the same page and I will always be grateful they were there to “hold my hand”.
Andrew Silverman provided straightforward, professional legal advice, allowing me to resolve, efficiently and confidently, an otherwise unsettling contractual matter. Andrew is intelligent and trustworthy, and I feel reassured to have him as my attorney. He was quickly able to identify issues for my consideration, providing insight into areas where I could consider protecting me. His matter-of-fact approach led to a satisfactory resolution of the situation without drama, anxiety or delay. I strongly endorse Andrew Silverman with my highest and unqualified recommendation.
Caroline was a phenomenal lawyer exceeding all excellency when it came to. As a lawyer, she went above and beyond with every action to ensure the best outcome for myself. I was charged twice on separate occasions and Caroline sought to it that I was ensured with the best possible outcome. Both times the outcomes were better than predicted. Stellar job to Caroline. Would highly recommend for anyone.
I hired Marie Crossley to represent me during a Court hearing that I had scheduled where I was requesting to modify my Child Custody agreement and relocation to another state where I could have more support to raise my two sons. Relocation cases are never easy but Marie did a very good job at showing the court that it was in the best interest of my children to relocate to live with my fiancé and I and his family since we had no support system here in DE and their father did not have a sufficient level of involvement in the boys lives. Many factors went into the outcome of our case but ultimately the judge ruled to allow the boys and I to move and put a visitation schedule in place that would allow their dad to still have frequent and meaningful visits with the children. I am very grateful for all the support and guidance Marie provided me during this case and I know the positive outcome we had will have a very positive impact on my children’s lives for years to come.
GREAT ATTORNEY! Very professional and is well liked by the Chester County community. Always felt well represented. Have recommended him to many, and will continue to do so!
We hired Brian and his firm to review our Participant Agreement. Brian was very thorough and diligent in providing feedback and recommendations that we feel as a result has enhanced the validity of this legal document. Brian’s focus on us as a client, as well as his professionalism and demeanor, made us feel that we were in very good, capable hands. In addition, the turnaround time for completing this project was quick and we very much appreciate this! Thank you!
