    Attorney Chad Vilushis represented me in a very challenging criminal matter, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From our very first meeting, Chad was direct, factual, and realistic about my case, which I truly appreciated. What really set him apart, though, was his ability to understand the emotional toll this situation took on me and my family. He was compassionate, kind, and supportive throughout the entire process. Chad worked incredibly hard on my behalf and used his impressive skill set and legal knowledge to achieve the best possible outcome for my case. If you are looking for a lawyer who will truly represent you, advocate for you, and understand you as a person—not just a case—Chad Vilushis is the best choice in Erie.

    I immediately felt better after my consultation. Not only was Attorney DePalma professional and thorough his kindness and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. I was never rushed he took the time to listen and clarify all details. He gave realistic outcomes and went over all possibilities. I trusted his judgment and recommendations from the beginning and once the case was closed it was confirmation that he was 100% honest and although I had prepared for the worst he facilitated my outcome being exactly what I was hoping for. As long as he is available I would absolutely recommend his expertise and would not go anywhere else. 5 stars is not a high enough rating.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

  • Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
  • Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
  • Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
  • City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
