Joseph did a terrific job representing my wife who was in a horrible accident. He is extremely kind, considerate and professional. Whenever we had any questions he would respond almost instantly, no matter what time of the day. Joseph and his team could not have done a better job helping us through a most difficult time in our lives. I would highly recommend him and the entire firm of Walkup, Melodia, Kelly & Schoenberger to anyone needing professional legal service.

Look. Up in the sky. It's a bird, it's a plane. No, it's Conor Kelly and Joseph Nicholson, the best of the best. I tripped on some uneven pavement at a gas station and had a very bad fall. Conor Kelly and Joseph Nicholson and their most professional team handled my case. They were no less than amazing and negotiated a settlement that was amazing, if you are fond of understatement, and well above my expectations. Congratulations on a job well beyond just well done. The bottom line is, if you are in need of an attorney, this firm is the best of the best.
