Stephen Pfeiffer, Mark Andrews, and Kayla are truly God sent and an incredible dream team. Watching them work together over the past three days in court during a jury trial was nothing short of remarkable. Their dedication, professionalism, and teamwork were a force to be reckoned with. Throughout the entire process, they worked tirelessly and did everything within their power to achieve the best possible outcome for my husband. Their commitment, preparation, and unwavering support gave our family hope during one of the most difficult times in our lives. Because of their hard work and determination, my husband had one charge dismissed and received a not guilty verdict on the other. No words can fully express our gratitude for everything they did for our family. Thank you, Stephen, Mark, and Kayla, for your compassion, dedication, and exceptional representation.

Catherine Coaltrain is the worst attorney I've ever worked with. Where do I even start? I'm sure she'll reply to this with the same last-minute excuses she gave me. She made it seem like we had a fighting chance of winning my case, and that the breathalyzer and field sobriety tests could be suppressed, only to tell me the day before trial that the prosecutor had damning evidence that she'd "just found out about." She showed up to my trial 20 minutes late. ⏰ She is impossible to get a hold of and gives you an attitude if you try. She lied to me about being able to get me into an online alcohol program because I travel for work, specifically telling me, "I know someone who has ties with the program; contact me if they give you issues." When I told her the clerk of courts said there was no online program, she told me, "The clerk of courts doesn't know what they're talking about." She basically tells you what you want to hear and then switches up on you at the last minute because she can't pull through, giving some lame excuse like pretending there was a misunderstanding in verbiage. A public defender would've been the better route. Catherine sucks. Look for a better attorney.

I am exceptionally happy with the professional service I received from this law firm. Wolcott Rivers handled my sister's estate, which, for various reasons, was not easy. The firm took care of every detail and made sure things went smoothly, and kept me notified of events and issues as they arose. Special thanks to Mark Pascucci, Dani Whitt and Jaimie Wilkins, the team that handled the matter. Five stars all the way!

After having Mark Pascuci set up Trust Funds & final wishes the family fell apart & when asked for assistance in getting funds that were mine back from family member Mark did nothing but to talk directly to the family member rather than treat the request of legal remedy. He claimed doing me a favor for not billing & then after months went by recently tells me he has no idea of what i wanted him to do. I wouldn't recommend this firm for any reason as totally unprofessional & im left totally unrepresented. Not to ever use again & dont recommend them st all.
