The Priestley Law Office is a family run practice consisting of George A. Priestley, Esquire,the attorney in the office, and Linda J. Priestley, his wife, who serves as the office manager. At any moment, you also may run into one or more of the six Priestley daughters and/or some of the five Priestley grandchildren at the office.
"Philosophy of the Office"
In areas of dispute between parties, such as in family matters or business disputes, George makes it a priority to meet the needs of his clients with efficiency and sensitivity. One of the ways he seeks to do this is by encouraging clients to understand the critical importance of working reasonably with opposing parties in negotiating a result that is satisfactory for the client with the purpose of avoiding unnecessary litigation. If, however, a fair negotiated resolution is not possible, George has the experience to aggressively pursue a client's rights through litigation.
In personal matters such as adoption, child custody and support, divorce, estate planning and elder care issues, the priority is to be clear and precise not only in discussing fees and costs in advance with the client but also in providing an understandable explanation of the legal services to be performed.
In all matters, the practice of the office is to be respectful of the client and to be thankful for the opportunity to be selected to serve that client. George never loses the understanding that he works for the client, not the other way around!
The office routinely serves clients in Bucks, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties but represents clients in other Pennsylvania counties as well.
