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.
