I would like to take this time to express my upmost astonishment with Atty. John McGovern & Atty Christopher Szewczyk. I'm an active police officer in Lackawanna County for 30 years and have had many interactions with lawyers. Atty. McGovern & Atty. Szewczyk are true fighters and professionals. I am very impressed with thier knowledge and preparedness, both I highly recommend when you are being cheated or disrespected by "shrewd" swindlers. These (2) Pros will quickly and efficiently reset the table in your favor!! I give them A++ ratings.

Hired Attorney

He talks your relatives into making him the executor Of their estate and takes it away from you . Then he takes a large fee of your money that your family member left you and controls the money for years and then gives you what he deems necessary according to him. . Then he also puts stipulations in the agreement so he doesn't have to give you any money. . These guys are Fu@#ing ambulance chasers . . There should be a law against what they do. Scumbag
