In today’s economy, people are seeking “center city legal representation” with the cost and feel of a local lawyer. That is why Benjamin Mayerson and Peter J. Dolan have formed Dolan & Mayerson, P.C., a general practice law firm concentrating in personal injury, family law, estate planning, estate administration and business law. Importantly, the firm will serve its clients with all the strength of a large firm with the feel of a local attorney. “Frankly, this place often feels like a barber shop with clients and friends stopping by to discuss their cases, the day’s politics or local happenings,” said Pete Dolan. Making the client comfortable, well informed and getting great results are the priorities for Dolan & Mayerson.
Ben Mayerson has 16 years of experience working exclusively in the area of personal injury. Ben worked with his father, Hy Mayerson, at the Spring City office of the Mayerson Law Offices, P.C. since 1994. Ben has successfully litigated all sizes of cases from minor injuries through multi-million dollar claims. His passion for achieving great results for his clients has had him litigate cases from the local district justice through the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. “Just last month the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled in my client’s favor in a dispute regarding a lower court’s rules,” Mayerson said. “With that ruling, I will be able to continue my client’s claim against the insurance company for its bad faith handling of the underling insurance claim.”
Peter J. Dolan has been representing clients in the Pottstown area since 1999 concentrating in all areas of family law, estate planning, estate administration and business law. Peter worked for a local firm until 2005 when he left to be corporate counsel for a company in Trooper, Pennsylvania where he reviewed interstate and international multi-million dollar contracts. He left there to begin his own firm in 2006 desiring to return to the general practice of law and helping individuals through difficult times. “I truly enjoy being an attorney and helping clients through difficult times,” Dolan said. “I can’t imagine doing anything else.”
“My clients are my boss,” said Dolan. In today’s economy, many clients come in with agreements in hand and look to me to get the divorce done with the costs down. Clients don’t want to spend money on attorneys and litigate themselves to the poorhouse. “My role as their attorney is to keep them fully informed of the court process and what they may be entitled to if they were to litigate.” Then, with that information, the client can often reach good agreements and not spend their money on costly litigation. If not, Dolan has a strong reputation with the courthouses in Montgomery, Berks and Chester counties and will use the courts to achieve the best results possible.
Also, joining the new firm will be Margaret Connors, Esquire who has been an integral part of the Mayerson firm since 1984. Margaret has extensive appellate court experience and largely devotes her professional efforts to legal research and writing at the firm.
The law firm of Dolan & Mayerson, P.C. has offices in Pottstown, Limerick and Exeter Pennsylvania. The firm’s staff includes three attorney, two paralegals and two support staff. Two members of the staff, Janice Sudzina and Donna Horst have more than 25 years of experience as legal assistants and have been employed by Mayerson Law for 25 years.
The goal of the firm is to provide its clients legal services exceeding those offered by large center city law firms with the “at home” feel of a local attorney. It concentrates on not only delivering the best legal services but also strives to keep costs down.
