I contacted the Dowd Law Firm for legal assistance,. They were informative, knowledgeable, discussed all my options, and very helpful in the outcome of my case. They stayed in constant contact and very informative. They were very kind and took the time to explain any issues or concerns. I would refer them to any of my friends and family. JWilliams

The Dowd Law firm took on my case, with very short notice, reviewed the facts and produced a favorable outcome. Jacob and his team did the research and presented evidence based on case law and current statutes. Having been exploited by other attorneys and a subjective system, I never thought an "average Joe" like myself would receive Top Notch representation! Thank you Ben and Jacob

As a retired banker, I have dealt with a number of law firms over my carrier. I made the choice to use Sallen Law due to their history in the field I needed the services in. Based on my research, Sallen Law had all the traits I expected would be necessary to accomplish my task. You see, it's not the size of a firm that dictates the level of expertise necessary to accomplish a goal. Sallen Law was the right fit. Not a large firm but good at what they do. They provided personalized service that only comes from a firm of their size. They did a great job in explaining all my options so I could make an informed decision that was best for my needs. Their attention to detail and constant feedback was superior in every way. And lastly, smaller firms have a lot less overhead and that is why the service provided was at a very fare price. I would highly recommend Sallen Law firm for your legal needs.

Rebecca Sallen and Sallen Law have been and will continue to be my go-to Trust & Estate Planning Attorney and Firm for my my clients in PA and NJ. I would recommend Rebecca and her firm to anyone looking to establish estate planning and protection for themselves, their business and their family. Her responsiveness, professionalism, and heart go into her work for her clients.

Brilliant, Honest, Hardworking, Dedicated, Fearless and Professional. When I first met Rebecca I asked her to please take control of my legal situation regarding my Fathers Estate, and that's exactly what she did. Rebecca's representation was flawless!! Rebecca had the ability to successfully navigate all of my challenging legal obstacles with grace and ease. Outstanding Attorney!! Outstanding Person!!

Sallen Law was quick to reach out to opposing parties and the representation they had. I appreciate her timeliness, definitely a positive experience with that.

Unfortunately it did not work out for my particular case, Sallen law was professional and empathetic towards my needs.

I am new client. Talking to the staff here. Today. I'm calm and relieved. With the issue.

David Franks aided me on a land transaction with refreshing down home kindness and years of community attorney professionalism. He is a wonderful alternative for those tired of arrogant legal workers and searching for kindness, aggression and professionalism. David Franks offered me a clear explanation of the step by step process I would need, represented me with polish, and let me know when my short cuts were heading me down the wrong path, which I appreciated. His office environment is warm and laid back with modern classiness. I would recommend David Franks to any one who admires modesty with savvy modern legal experience.

David Franks setup my business LLC and has maintained it for several years without any problems. He is very good about reminding me of things that need to be filled annually and seems to be very thorough in his work.

Excellent, friendly, and quick service!

Had our trust set up there. He Promised to refer me to an Atty for another issue. I Called twice and emailed him. Totally ignored me. He got paid for the trust and washed his hands of us.
