We have worked with both Atty Sgrignari and Atty Crisci at GPSP for over 20 years. From our…read morebusinesses and contracts to wills/estate planning and home closings, this is where to go not just for their experience, but their organization and accessibility. Their legal secretaries, paralegals and administrative staff are cohesive, detail-oriented and easy to work with and they help guide you through every step answering any questions. We had several choices when it was time for new legal representation. GPSP wasn't the 'cheapest' nor the most expensive firms we met with but after our meeting, they were the most comfortable firm we had interviewed where their experience and confidence was evident. Looking back, I can say the value they have collectively provided us over the years has far exceeded any retainer or invoice we have ever paid. Didn't really think of this until now, but to keep a client serviced and protected for over 20 years really says something about the caliber of GPSP's firm. Thanks.

I would strongly advise against working with Lou Crisci. After my mother passed away, I hired Lou…read moreto handle the estate. Communication was consistently poor. He was slow to respond, rarely kept me informed about the status of the process, and was often rude, dismissive, and condescending when he did respond. When I followed up about the status of the estate, he responded, "The more I have to respond to you, the more time it takes from getting the work done." On another occasion, he told me, "I wish you would let me do my job." I understand that attorneys are busy and that estate administration takes time. But when you work with families navigating the loss of a loved one, there should be a basic level of professionalism, compassion, and respect. Instead, I was made to feel like a burden for asking reasonable questions about a process I was paying him to handle. Losing my mother was already an incredibly painful experience. His lack of professionalism and compassion added unnecessary stress and hurt during an already difficult time. I expected an estate attorney to make an already difficult process easier - not to make it harder.

Joseph J. Mager jr. is by far one of the most rude, disrespectful attorneys I've ever had the…read moredispleasure of speaking with. I never write reviews no matter how bad my experience because I believe everyone has bad days, but after receiving an unsolicited letter regarding our interaction, I just couldn't resist. His knowledge of automobile coverage/law is severely deficient and I couldn't even finish a sentence without him interrupting me on the phone. Not to mention he insinuated to my mother that I would "threaten her" for use of her vehicle. Keep in mind that my mother is 70+ years old suffering from dementia, and is easily impressionable. Avoid this fear-mongering lawyer at all costs!

Awesome Lawyer. Here's why... - Initial Free Interview was…read morevery informative and professional. I had 6 phone call conversations + 3 formal interviews and selected JVK out of the 10 lawyers. Some lawyers made a lot of promises in the initial discussion and acted like sharks that wanted to hire private investigators without really listening to me. - Organized & Clean office. I loved walking into a tidy, well-organized office. Some lawyers I interviewed had an absolute mess of papers. He had small reminders of his family and explained why it was important to him. JVK is a man of great character. - Underpromise & Overdeliver - this cliche is a big thing to me. JVK set realistic expectations and timeline for my divorce. Too many of my friends were overpromised by lawyers and invested way too much for less than what was promised. JVK set the goal for a divorce in under 12 months and got it done in about 8 months (December signed with him and served the spouse that month. I was divorced in August). It would have been sooner if the ex didn't delay providing documents. - Calm and Logical - this is super important. When my ex dialed up the emotion and ridiculousness, JVK calmed me down and was not affected by the ex's ridiculous comments or insults at the two of us. JVK knows people make logical decisions when the anger is removed from the decision making. - Billing is extremely fair. No nickel and diming for every little text and email. JVK understood the games being played by my spouse, so he took that into consideration when billing me. Too many friends feel they got billed by the word - not by the email. AWESOME LAWYER. We need more JVK's in divorces so they go efficiently. I am a better person after having used him.

In addition, they tried to guilt me into admitting that I should have known the law. Their communication practices leave much to be desired.

Their feedback has always been extremely positive, so I continued referring. And then it was my turn.

Throughout the entire process I felt like I was in good hands -- and I was. Ben has been a guide for me as I seek out different attorneys for myself or friends and family -- I ask him for help and he gives me a name and a phone number, never asking anything in return. He's well-respected in the area, as shown by the quality attorneys he's connected me to and gotten me the help I've needed. He's a great guy to have on your side and I'm forever grateful for his firm's services.
