I called Morris, Downing & Sherred to speak to an attorney regarding a family law issue.
The receptionist transferred me to Angela C. Paternostro-Pfister. She explained that I would have to leave a voicemail as Angela was out of her office. I left a voicemail at 9:45 AM, and received a return call from Angela within 2 hours.

I explained my situation as best I could, and Angela took her time, informing me of my rights, what I needed to be prepared with, and what I could expect. Angela spent 90 minutes on the phone with me. She answered every question, and gave me professional advice. Although I am local, the issue I am having is in another county. Unfortunately, I couldn’t use Angela’s services as she doesn’t serve that county. She recommended another attorney from the other county, who I agreed to use. Angela sent an email to the other attorney, with me on CC, giving them all of the information from our phone call. This made the transition extremely easy, saving me time and expense from repeating the entire conversation with the other attorney.

I am extremely grateful to Angela C. Paternostro-Pfister for her time and effort assisting me. Should I need an attorney outside of my current issue, I won’t hesitate to call Angela.

The firm was very professional and extremely polite. Dave was very informative and answered any and all questions we had. The process was very easy because we were very well informed all along. Karen was professional and polite and kept us up to speed. The entire process took a couple of hours spread over about a week (due to creating the documents). We were very pleased and highly recommend this firm.

My husband and I had a consultation with Tim Profeta. We were very pleased with his professionalism and courtesy. My husband called several different attorneys and got no response from any of them. A friend recommended Tim, so he called him. My husband spoke with Tim in person on the first call. Tim set up an appointment for the next day. He was extremely helpful. We highly recommend him!!! We will be using him again, if needed.

I needed help reviewing a legal document, so I reached out through the website. I received a response the same day and was able to connect with Paul Hunczak the following day. He was kind, professional, and genuinely happy to help. He reviewed my document promptly and got back to me right away. I’m very grateful for his quick response and for helping me understand the document. I would highly recommend this firm, and Paul in particular.
