Bill Ringland was so compassionate and caring along with being a great attorney.
Many thanks to the Pearce Law firm.
Thank you!
She has provided services that ranged from prompt legal advice to formal and effective representation in obtaining a benefit settlement. Throughout she remains a formidable combination of conscientious, knowledgeable, and passionate. You definitely want Edie on your side!
I will continue to bring any future legal concerns to her, because I am confident that she will be an effective and winning advocate.
The Pearce law firm is very professional, compassionate and work diligently with each client throughout their case. Nothing short of 5 star service with this group!!!! Its always a pleasure working with them!!
Edith is tough when she needs to be, but can also be personable, humorous, and "real."
I would not consider engaging any other firm, if I ever needed assistance again.
comfortable in handling any situation you might have my lawyer is Nicole.v she has been the best representation I have had thus far and I wouldn't go anywhere else she is always on the ball and never leaves out of the loop thank you so much for doing what you have done for me :)
I recommend the Pearce Law Firm above all others!
As far as I’m concerned there is only one injury attorney, and her name is Edith Pearce.
I was really scared when I got hit by a car and my ankle was broken. Also, I felt super bad about the thought of "suing" someone. I thought that was something that people who were trying to get away something. Thank goodness my boyfriend said "you've got to get a lawyer and another good friend--reccommended Edith highly.
Thank God I didn't go to one of those awful companies (you know the one on the tv ad) as a friend had an awful, impersonal experience with them.
From the start, Edith made me feel comfortable, attended to, and like I was literally--her only priority. She got me into her office immediately, got me to doctors and specialists within days, re-directed all of my medical bills (which were sizeable) to be deferred until my case was settled. After that she went to work doing her magick.
What I was so struck by --was the thorough and dilligent follow up--let's be honest, how many businesses--let alone lawyers--hold themselves so accountable--that they follow up with YOU first. I never had to call Edith once to see how my case was coming along. She always called me to give me periodic updates on how my case was proceeding and what she might need from me next--and also what were the next steps.
Then finally, once everything was compiled and submitted, within months, honestly even more quickly than I expected, I got a phone call from her. I never in my wildest imagination thought that I would get a settlement, but Edith got the max paid out from both the other insurance company---and also from my own for personal injuries--which I had no idea I was even entitled to. I could not believe it--truly awestruck and I feel eternally grateful and blessed to have found her.
Once payment was received, again she called to have me into her office promptly and once again--much quicker than I expected--
I cannot stress enough--how amazing her services are. Her "bedside manner " is also incredibly sensitive, kind, considerate and --dare I say it--gentle! When does that happen???
I actually hugged her on my way out of the office. I would highly reccommend this incredible attorney for any personal injury case, or any other case besides. She went above and beyond, as did everyone else in her office.
they don't make professionals like this any more.
Sincerely,
Jennifer N.
Before needing an attorney I worked with attorneys. And even though I know hundreds of them, it was Edie Pearce I chose to be my partner on that journey. I could have not have chosen more wisely.
Once Edith scheduled a time to speak with me over the phone. Not more than a couple of minutes into it, she said she got a call from her son's school. She dismissed herself and never called back (not that day, nor for weeks later). This "talk" had been scheduled weeks in advance. I am considerate of others' time and not a "needy" client but when I had immediate questions, I could not get an answer.
I also had to send and resend paperwork as some got lost. The office asked me to tally up all of my medical costs on top of sending them every single receipt (I was going to do it anyway but I'd think they would do this themselves as well). After preparing them all, they told me that they were inadmissable (due to living overseas, but they knew that from the outset).
At my deposition, Bill Ringland seemed more interested in chumming up the senior attorney for the grocery chain (Fresh Grocer) than in representing me. Bill was no match for him. (Incidentally, I had previously consulted with the defendant's law firm for this case and they had failed to notify me that Fresh Grocer was their client. Based on this, I should have been able to have their representation dismissed but that didn't happen.)
In an effort to prevent going to court, Bill even told me that a judge was going to refer my case to arbitration; when I asked to speak to the judge that Bill told me would do this, the judge said that he was not in a position to do this.
I was then living overseas. The final straw was when Bill and Edith told me that my court date - if I insisted on going to court - was on-call and I'd have to wait around Philadelphia for a month or more to see if and when I'd be called up. I'm pretty sure they could have worked with the court to accommodate my situation but they were unwilling. Basically "my" firm threw up every possible roadblock in order to get me to settle and not have my day in court.
In the end, I knew I couldn't fight alone anymore. Pearce firm got their 1/3 off the top, then paid off expenses, and I ended up with enough to pay off the accumulated out-of-pocket treatment costs (I was without medical insurance when I was injured). Better than nothing but not a just settlement. I received nothing for pain & suffering, lost time, reduced capacity for work or for future treatments.
All said, I think the service I got was pretty typical. Lawyers will look for the fastest, easiest route to their payout. If it is worth their extra time to go to court, they'll do it; sometimes they would rather do less work and get the quicker payout, regardless of whether it is in the best interest of their client. Bill and Edith can be likable people but don't think for a second that they will work for you anymore than serves their best interest.
