I hired Heather Trostle Smith at Pollock Begg to handle a post-divorce child custody modification. Her background in family law, including the recognition she's received in collaborative law, was evident in her approach to my case. She was knowledgeable about Pennsylvania statutes and her five years of experience showed in her strategic advice. The outcome for my parenting time was ultimately fair. However, the process felt somewhat impersonal at times. Response times to emails were slower than I expected, sometimes taking several business days, which added to my stress during an already difficult period. While I believe she is a capable attorney who secured a solid result, the client-centered approach mentioned in her profile wasn't consistently my experience. For straightforward family law matters, she is a competent choice, but be prepared to manage your expectations regarding ongoing communication.
