I had some very difficult custody issues which I understand are pretty costly, but wow. I spent thousands of dollars with Purdy Law Office, specifically Allison Hastings, because I thought I was retaining the best per the reviews I had seen. I felt I was under represented. I would ask questions in emails and Ms. Hastings just would simply not reply to parts of the email she did not want to or could not answer. Contempt papers should’ve been filed and were not, so I essentially had to start my case over with a different attorney. I was billed for services not rendered and when I would reach out for explanation, I was told it was billed wrong and for something else entirely. I thought for the price I was paying, I would be fiercely represented. I felt quite “hung out to dry” by the entire experience. I cannot speak on Pam Purdy, as I had literally no contact with her throughout the entirety of my representation with Purdy Law, but I was left with a bad taste in my mouth with the Firm.

Pam Purdy did absolutely nothing for me in my divorce case. She was not at all sensitive to my situation and since I wouldn't spend $10,000+ on a Divorce Master, she dropped me because she said I "questioned her veracity." That was not true at all...the opposing counsel in the case questioned her veracity. I have a much better attorney now and the divorce is almost done, but I would NOT recommend this woman!

Totally feel like I was ripped off. Definitely didn’t get my money’s worth. I know friends that got way more accomplished in custody Court then I did, and paid 1/3 of the price.... 9 grand.... and didn’t do anymore work then another attorney that was paid a flat fee of 3k. Not happy

I have worked with Peter Russo and his staff for many year’s. Peter and his group have handled our Business sales agreements, commercial real estate contracts and closings, rental and lease issues as well as our personal will. This professional firm can do it all while maintaining a close working, friendly relationship with its clients.

Going through a divorce is not easy for anyone. My attorney, Kara Haggerty, walked me through the process step by step. She ALWAYS had my best interest at heart. I can honestly say if I did not have Kara and her amazing team at Peter J. Russo, I do not believe I would have been able to get through the divorce. I highly recommend Kara and the Law Offices of Peter J. Russo.

I had a very positive experience with Ms. Adams. As other reviews have noted, she is accessible, direct, and pragmatic. It was a nice alternative to a larger firm, although I do not mean to imply that the larger firms can't get the job done. I just enjoy the smaller business experience whenever possible.

I called for information to see if they specialize in representing as a tenant attorney. The lady said "we only do it for landlords." The website says otherwise BTW. And I asked did she know of any that do assist. I heard rummaging of papers in the background. Silence then she hung up. No end greeting, goodbye, nada. I'll take my business elsewhere especially if the phone service isn't wanting to help that business.

As I near $40k, over a year and a half in divorce expenses, I could not imagine having a better lawyer and ally than Dave Schanbacher. In divorcing the daughter and sister, of two county judges (from the county in which we and our children live), Dave has brought knowledge and accountability to a flawed system. His profound expertise has enabled him to sort out fact from fiction, and to beautifully navigate what is clearly an uphill battle, and this arduous process. While we still have much work to do, I can’t imagine having a better and more trustworthy attorney. My only regret, is that I didn’t hire Dave as my first attorney; instead opting for a local, and egregiously less talented local (Bellefonte) attorney.

Dave Schanbacher was retained for a relocation and custody hearing and from the first moment was dedicated to helping me prepare and win my case. His knowledge of family law is unparalleled and his straightforward approach was appreciated. Dave is a thorough and skilled attorney, and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking representation in Family Law. His preparation and work in the court room left opposing counsel fumbling and grasping at straws. Thank you for all that you did for us.

What a relief to have found Dave Schanbacher! I was concerned about the first lawyer I hired, because they seemed distracted, unable to locate papers I had previously given to them and not able to grasp the whole picture. Worriedly, I asked several of my lawyer friends who they personally would use and each one recommended Dave. Boy, were they ever right! I was so relieved at the very first meeting, when he quickly went through my huge, messy pile of papers and was able to figure things out in his head, not even using a calculator. (wish I could do that) He's an extremely intelligent, driven man who cares about me and doesn't ever waste my time (or $). I've been pretty at ease going to settlements and meetings just because Dave is always so well-prepared, emotionally engaged and on top of every little detail. When describing him to friends, I always say the same thing- "He's like a dog with a bone; he doesn't give up!!!" So glad he's in MY corner and not on the other team.

Going to the law offices of Hoffmeyer and Semmelman is truly an experience unlike any other. You walk into the front entrance and you are transported to another world, leaving you desiring the bay and marina life. Boats to your left, boats to your right, boats on the ceiling and a lovely waterfall along the staircase ahead. As you follow the staircase, you are greeted by a charming young woman at the receptionist desk who is nothing but helpful and polite. The attorneys themselves are professional but approachable. They are prepared to take on whatever lies ahead using their well-educated backgrounds and experience while still maintaining a relatable and easily approachable demeanor.

I can't speak highly enough about my experience at Hoffmeyer and Semmelman. I was a bit intimidated pursuing my legal options as I did not know where to start, but my attorney walked me through everything step by step and she couldn't have made an unpleasant situation any easier or more positive for me. The professionalism and expertise of the entire team was superb and I would definitely come back for any future legal needs.

I came across Kearney, Galloway, and Graybill at a very difficult time, without recommendation. From the initial consultation, Jenn (Galloway) eased my mind without setting any unrealistic expectations of either the cost or the outcome of the case. Jenn and Vicky are always friendly, prompt, thorough, and courteous- which are secondary to their legal expertise, yet still important when handling a stressful situation. I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my case or the services provided by this firm. 11/10 would use again! Area of practice: Family Law

I originally made an appointment for Leslie Arzt due to good reviews online. At my appointment I was placed with Amy Phillips instead. My gut said ask for the original attorney, but I didn't want to appear rude. After paying my retainer, Amy did absolutely nothing to process my divorce. She is unresponsive to communication, and very unorganized. Look at her office and the disarray. Anyway, I lost money, but my divorce was a breeze after using another firm. Ask for another attorney in the firm. A divorce can be a trying experience, but it doesn't have to be if you choose the correct attorney. Choose wisely.

Attorney Arzt is an excellent attorney! I went to her for a legal advise and representation, she would respond promptly if an issue would arise and she would advise me of what was in my best interest she was very helpful in my legal matter. If I ever needed another attorney for an issue I would hire her and I highly recommended attorney Arzt to anyone that needs an attorney.

We scheduled an appointment with Leslie in early June for a July appointment for a somewhat time sensitive legal matter because we had specifically been recommended Leslie for our situation. We showed up for our appointment, and due to an administrative mix-up on their part (blamed on a former(?) employee named Vickie) we were not able to be seen as Leslie had a meeting with another scheduled client. We initially rescheduled for the following week, but later received a call that Leslie couldn't make this newly scheduled appointment, either. Instead of trying to make the situation right (catering to our schedules a bit or something since they messed up the scheduling not once, but twice), we were basically told to find a different lawyer that Leslie recommends. So now we have delayed progress on our legal matter for over a month and have nothing to show for it. I also had to take a day off of work to make the original appointment work. This review is not about Leslie's legal abilities or even our personal experience with her directly as we never even spoke with her, but it's my understanding she was tied into our situation when we were attempting to reschedule both times.
