Tom Ramsay has helped me for over 30 years; and most recently his daughter helped me in…read morenegotiations for a gun charge. My first gun charge, i was facing 5 years in prison plus. It was in self defense but they found the gun i defended myself with and were going to put me away for 5 years. Tom Ramsay negotiated it down to 2 weeks in jail, 1 1/2 months in jail, and 7 years probation. I was so grateful. He did another spectacular job when I was facing 110 years in prison and he got it negotiated down to 2-5 years. Around 5 years ago his daughter got a gun charge of 2 to 5 years in prison negotiated down to 4 months house arrest , community service. Tom Ramsay's daughter was every bit the skilled negotiator her father was; they have both been a perfect match for me and have given me time to change my life around.

Their conjunctional efforts and dedication for my case made me feel more relaxed knowing they were advocating for my son on my behalf. Dealing with lawyers, judges, ect. can be such a long, stressful draining and upsetting process and I could not think of anyone else I would want in my corner then the Ramseys. It is really hard to make someone who doesn't know you stand up for you and break things down into terms or words that are familiar to you. They both put all efforts into this case and we collectively are grateful that they choose to take this case and take all the stress and fight for my son. Your faith, knowledge and determination were admirable and I can do nothing but thank you every time I get for fighting for me. Many blessings.

Jennifer Fink of Fink Family Law did a good job managing my divorce up to the first settlement…read moreconference where opposing counsel walked out after Jennifer offered to settle 52% in my wife's favor (settlement conference officer said it was clear cut 50/50 divorce). About 4 months after the 1st failed settlement conference I received phone call from Jennifer Fink stating Jessica Socienski would be taking lead on my divorce matters due to her full trial schedule. Jessica Socienski did a great job jumping in where Jennifer Fink left off - in a stalemate with opposing counsel. Jessica as well did a great job considering my wife's viciousness throughout the divorce by verbally securing settlement at second settlement conference; I agreed and promptly signed opposing counsel's 53% PSA, this is when things went off the rails. Opposing counsel received the PSA I signed then completely vanished for more than 9 months all the while I was paying exorbitant marital support, premium healthcare benefits for my wife and two college student sons moreover every day household expenses. The opposing counsel calculated delay pushed me deep into debt not counting current and prior legal fees incurred. Months of pleading with Jessica and Jennifer to devise counter offensive to opposing counsel's delay tactic went unanswered I had no other choice but to seek new counsel who quickly formulated strategy to breakthrough the devistating stalemate. In the end I calculated the caught flat footed non-response from Fink Family Law to opposing counsel's walk away strategy after I signed their PSA cost me at least $175K If you find yourself facing an amicable 'boiler plate' type divorce Fink Family Law is probably adequate for your divorce needs. Anything other than a standard amicable divorce, I highly suggest securing a firm with aggressive tactical experience, an up front legal strategy and a like kind skill set.

Attorney Mary Lawrence, along with Attorney Caroline Donato are two exceptional professionals,…read moreprominent figures who stand out through the commitment of words and actions united as one. It has been my experience that MaCLeer Harvey has a long history of assuring that they all contain the willingness to go above and beyond, seeking truth and justice. This Firm, especially these two outstanding women Attorneys, deserve recognition for their integrity for assuring our laws are upheld. That every individual who walks through that firm's doors, are 110% respected. I was brought in after being slain by another members of our society. A man with a severe character consistences of self-centered, antisocial, dishonesty, easily manipulates others as he easily seeks them out, he lacks compassion, or a conscious. His only thinks of himself or, "what's in it for me". He's a 45 year old alcoholic from the videos I watched with him in his blue bathrobe during a blackout. He met his 24 yr, when he was driving her to her BF home in Wayne, he was the uber driver. ASAM reports alcohol as a disinhibitor," it will tell us things like, I've only had a few drink's after work, I'm okay to drive home, I fine." No of this thinking is accurate or true. Alcohol is dangerous and it's quite easy to build a tolerance. A person starts with drinking only on Friday's, then it becomes the weekend, with it eventually become more frequent, plus more fot its affect. It's a chronic, progressive, treatable, & if not treated, deadly. I came to this firm from a violent assault by a man who was impaired by his smell as asphyxiated me-per doctors and my wounds. This firm, along with Attorneys Lawrence and Attorney Donato, helped hold me up after a horrific, violent beat down. They offered hope. They seek each clients personal path, exposing truth, and holding the perpetrator accountable. The willingness and fearlessness to seek that root of pain and suffering. Where I'm dying inside, is unmatched. Nothing will stand in their way of exposing truth. Many people today lack inner morals or integrity. This is really about themselves. These self-center and self-entitled individuals have no problem with stepping on others. They are actually bullies and especially find enjoyment with harassing, threatening and bullying innocent individuals, especially those who try to help grow others. His enjoyment of getting away with hurting others and love of what's believed to be powerfully dishonesty, yet in truth they are just bullies and big cowards, pushing around someone smaller and most likely smarter then themselves. Liars and cowards are willing to go to any lengths to point fingers at others without viewing those other fingers pointing right back towards themselves. These criminals have yet met the firm who, fights to prevent innocents, while ensuring our nation's legal system, especially our personal rights are protected and preserved. Lawyers do cost, and that was a challenge for me. While I was still very sick after a violent assault, within a luxury apartment my company/LLC held as the only and entire guarantor for payment, an apartment for safe, daily structured programming made to meet the vetted team of top Philadelphia and local providers, assessing, testing, and re-evaluating diagnosis usually not from psychiatrists ( at inpatient facilities). This team handles all clinical aspects,as we meet with them and monitored how a client is accepting change while learning to live a healthy sober lifestyle, holding a FT job, or FT schooling, a complete family restructuring of broken promises and relationships with the goal to launch into their own made life based on the 4 Agreements and a becoming knowing of self with a 12 Step community commitment building relationships with their own sex vs. the distraction of the opposite gender. while an exclusive contract made to be in specialized 2 years into being harassed and abused by my past employer, who have tons of hard cold cash from their dishonest told to staff, the community and past patients. They even interfered with playing on fears with disrupting and without consent reached out to my firm. It's so critical and I truly cannot stress it enough, that staying close to a solid, ethical, safe, respectful and supportive Attorney and their powerful firm, must take priority. When past employers or relationships that haven't been around in 2 years, reappear, also weren't there when the narrative of pain started, they are not looking out for your personal growth and safety, they tend to have an unseen dirty motives. When the Firm you've hired are the actual ones who will seek, find, and discover all the illegal practices their client was forced, threaten, harassed, plus gay bashing was seen as acceptable just because you held a large amount of the organization's honesty and could easily " whistle blow", please stick as close as you can to your attorneys, their motives are trust and justice.
