Ms. Purdy did what everyone else said couldn't be done. Two and a half years of filling my former attorneys bank account, while nothing was being done to protect my daughter. Lost the custody trial while my ex wife lied and my former attorney told my to just let it go for a while. I went for a consultation with Ms. Purdy on a Thursday and by Friday I had primary custody with my ex getting 3 hours supervised visitation a week.

Though child support cases are routine, there are many variables pertaining to these cases. The Pennsylvania Child Support Guidelines are frequently changing, and it is important for any attorney handling a child support matter to keep updated on these changes to the law.
These guidelines include looking at the income of both parents, and factoring in the number of children, the time that each parent spends with the children and other regularly occurring costs.Changed circumstances, like a loss of employment, can also lead to adjustments of the amount of a child support obligation.

I had some very difficult custody issues which I understand are pretty costly, but wow. I spent thousands of dollars with Purdy Law Office, specifically Allison Hastings, because I thought I was retaining the best per the reviews I had seen.
I felt I was under represented. I would ask questions in emails and Ms. Hastings just would simply not reply to parts of the email she did not want to or could not answer.
Contempt papers should’ve been filed and were not, so I essentially had to start my case over with a different attorney.
I was billed for services not rendered and when I would reach

Pam Purdy did absolutely nothing for me in my divorce case. She was not at all sensitive to my situation and since I wouldn't spend $10,000+ on a Divorce Master, she dropped me because she said I "questioned her veracity." That was not true at all...the opposing counsel in the case questioned her veracity. I have a much better attorney now and the divorce is almost done, but I would NOT recommend this woman!

This was the best experience that I have had with attorneys. Pamela Purdy and Allison Hastings handled my case professionally and expeditiously. I must also add that their rates are very reasonable for such a distinguished law firm. A special thanks goes out to Allison Hastings who was very informative and patient. I felt very comfortable with her in discussing my situation. She negotiated a fantastic settlement. For this reason especially, I will always use Purdy Law Office to represent me.

I initially worked with both Attorney Purdy for my divorce and custody case, and then she turned it over to Attorney Hastings. Throughout the entire ordeal, they were both very professional and very understanding, and their fees were extremely fair and reasonable. I worked mostly with Attorney Hastings, and she was always quick to respond, followed through, empathized, negotiated on my behalf, and eventually helped me to a settlement that was favorable to me. Several times I was ready to give up and give in just to get it completed, but she always advised me based on what was in my best interest

The following sums it up - an excellent experience through the entire process. Pamela and her firm’s staff are outstanding. They are professional, compassionate, courteous, and responsive; I cannot say enough good things about them. I always felt that they were listening to what I was saying and were completely engaged in my case. I decided to retain Pamela after careful consideration through formal consults with other attorneys and discussions with close friends, one of whom is also an attorney; I feel it is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I will continue using Purdy Law Office if

I cannot say enough good things about Pam and her team. They are compassionate, understanding, extremely knowledgeable about all the nuances that go into a case. They have a very quick response time and are fantastic about keeping you updated on the status of things. Divorce is an awful situation but Pam took so much of the stress out of it - I would definitely recommend her and her team!
