I have been practicing law for 53 years, and 47 of those years have been in Central Pennsylvania, and mostly in the Dauphin County Courthouse. Although I have Offices in nine other Counties, there is no question in my mind that this Courthouse is run beautifully. Every single Agency is very helpful to not only the lawyers, but to the public. The Judges of Dauphin County over all these years, have always stood out as being most fair and balanced.

I called to ask help with something (confidential) I was received only with attitude. Which I was patient with, but the woman I talked with refused to help couldn't answer any of my questions, and then hung up on me. This is our judicial system here. That's not ok.

Had to go to the Registar of Wills office. Not only were they courteous but I actually had 2 people help me to navigate the daunting process of a recent death. They were pleasant and did not rush me at all. That was very much appreciated.
