"I needed legal assistance with a martial document and throughout the whole process I felt supported and in good hands while working with Melissa and the rest of the firm. In our phone calls we discussed strategies and scenarios that would benefit me which was importance because I had no prior understanding of Pennsylvania law regarding my matter."

"I had a great experience with Petrelli Previtera. They were responsive, thorough, professional, and efficient. The whole team is very kind and followed up with me after my issue was resolved. Russell was even there for me when I needed advice on a legal matter outside of the one he was handling. From the start, I felt respected and taken care of. I trusted that I would be advocated for in a very difficult situation. I’d 100% recommend Petrelli Previtera to anyone seeking a family law attorney."

"Melissa was fantastic! From the time of my initial inquiry, the sense of urgency never felt downplayed. As a frantic father dealing with my absolutely worst days, Melissa played a crucial role in restoring some level of peace in my life. We got the ball rolling quickly and got my matters resolved in a timely fashion. She was patient with me and clear about how the process works. We got papers served and got into court within a week. I’m certain the services at Petrelli Previtera go well beyond what I needed, but anyone in need of an emergency custody petition, this firm is much more than competent, confident and capable of handling your needs. I hope to never, ever need representation for custody matters again, but if I do, this will be my first call. Also, the amount of follow up calls I’ve received just to check in on ME and how life is going is thoroughly appreciated. A random ear to vent to. As a father in a bad situation, the need to get things off my mind and find some helpful insight is absolutely crucial. A massive thank you to Steve for those calls."

"The process of finding and hiring a lawyer can be overwhelming and scary. The reasons behind why you are hiring a lawyer are often emotional and stressful. I interviewed a few firms and after getting an outstanding recommendation from a friend decided to hire Barbara Schneider. I couldn’t have ask for someone with more experience or knowledge. She eases my fears and guides me with her expertise. She’s fair but has grit, confidence and determination to get the job done. I appreciate her support and guidance throughout this process. I would highly recommend Barb to others who are in need of a lawyer in Chester County and surrounding areas."
