Our family was referred to Vince DiFabio from an outside referral. We initially spoke with him over the phone and his knowledge, professionalism and experience immediately convinced us that he would be committed to represented our cause. And he was. Vince clearly took the time to research just what he needed to know and to work with the necessary peers and professionals to arrive at a result that was fair and reasonable. Vince never dropped the ball and in many ways, kept the process from lingering beyond expectations. We were so very grateful for his representation.

Vince DiFabio was incredibly helpful, kind, and thorough. The council he provided was prepared professionally and he would go out of his way to answer any questions I had no matter how much was on his plate or if it was after business hours, he’d respond. 10/10. Would hire again.

I am very grateful for the services of Marissa Murtaugh of Platt, DiGiorgio & DiFabio. On the early morning of December 10th, 2023 I was charged with a DUI in Chester County, PA. I was 60 years old, and this was my first encounter with the criminal justice system apart from jury duty. Naturally, I was panicked. A friend recommended the DiFabio firm. From my first conversation with Marissa, I was relieved that I would be guided though the process with steady expert support. She exhibited two qualities that were invaluable to me in this situation: she provided outstanding client services, dealing with my crisis with great empathy and patience; and she demonstrated a mastery of the legal process, representing me in my dealings with myriad court officials with a degree of professionalism that commanded respect. Her expertise in both the "inside" and "outside" aspects of her vocation provided me with great moral support. Marissa patiently and thoroughly walked me through the process of applying to the A.R.D. program. She was always available by phone and email to discuss the details of my case and the law. When she joined me for my two court appointments, my preliminary hearing and my formal induction into A.R.D., I was impressed by her command of detail in managing the process. In between these hearings, she initiated clearly timed communication to ensure I met all deadlines. My DUI was a serious mistake. Marissa helped me manage the consequences in a manner that allowed me to proceed with my life a bit wiser with a minimum of disruption.

We have been clients for many years and have always been completely impressed by the level of professionalism and commitment. We recently worked with Marissa Murtaugh as our attorney for an estate and she was excellent in her ability to manage many issues with grace and professionalism… she cared for us in this difficult time and moved us through the process with kindness and tenacity. We highly recommend this firm for any legal needs big or small.

Marissa was not only well-prepared and organized but also exhibited a high level of professionalism throughout the entire process.

Above that, Vince has provided incredible guidance to me in my life. He is truly an amazing man and human being. He knows the law and he’s my friend on top of his legal knowledge. I love Vince DiFabio. He is the best and he will honor his duty as a lawyer for you.

Keith DiFabio is an excellent advocate! He is compassionate, knowledgeable, and hard-working. Keith always took the time to answer all of my questions and was exceptional at communicating the status of my case. Keith wrote an outstanding ARD reconsideration letter on my behalf which ultimately lead to my acceptance into the program. From the moment Vince and Keith DiFabio took my call I knew I was in good hands. If you have a criminal matter I highly recommend Keith Difabio. You will not get a more dedicated and talented lawyer anywhere else.

I recommend anybody with a legal matter to use these gentlemen in Pennsylvania. The DiFabio’s are well respected amongst the judges and district attorneys in Chester county. Thank you for the best possible outcome for my situation!

Susan Sacchetta was my divorce attorney. She is the epitome of professionalism and extremely knowledgeable and thorough. I replied earlier that she won the case although it never went to trial. She discovered that my ex husband was lying about his income and I was awarded repayment of funds that were given to him falsely. I am very happy she was my attorney.

Vince and Keith DiFabio both have a strong understanding of PA DUI laws. Keith did an excellent analysis of police video evidence in the courtroom and was able to successfully defend against a DUI charge. Keith also went the extra mile by showing up in court on several occasions when the police delayed the trial dates. Great work!

Keith was great in so many aspects. He was compassionate and understanding of my situation and he put forth an incredible amount of effort to help me. I believe he took my matter seriously and truly listened to my concerns and addressed them to help ease my anxiety. He did an amazing job at the hearing and was prepared for every twist and turn that was thrown our way. He had definitely done his homework and was prepared beyond a shadow of a doubt which is why we won the case. This young man is already an incredible attorney and has a bright future ahead of him. I would recommend Keith without any hesitation.

I am a physician who was confronted with criminal charges resulting from a business dispute. I didn't know anyone in the criminal justice system, having never dealt with a problem of this magnitude. However, while in court listening to the accusations against me, a police detective pulled me aside and stated that Vince DiFabio was the best defense lawyer in the area. Wow, what a recommendation! Engaging his services was the best decision I made in my life. He is extremely knowledgeable concerning the Law. His work ethic is exhaustive. His moral character is beyond reproach, and he truly loves hie profession. The emotional toll of facing criminal charges is enormous- but Vince was always available to lessen the pain. He made you feel as though you were his only client. In closing, thank God for Vince DiFabio. The world needs more lawyers like him.

I was lucky enough to have a close friend recommend Joe DiGiorgio. I met with several divorce lawyers before I decided that Joe was a perfect fit for me. He was kind, compassionate, patient and smart, taking time to guide me through a painful and unexpectedly acrimonious divorce. I was woefully unprepared for the ensuing warfare, but with Joe’s wisdom and experience I was able to hold my head high and proceed with grace. While I could never recommend divorce, I can highly recommend Joe. He became a dear friend in the process, and I have engaged him to help me in a variety of other law issues. He is not just a good lawyer, he is truly a good person and I am honored to hold him in my close circle of trusted advisors.

Finding the right counsel is critical, no matter the situation. When the matter is divorce, it is even more critical as the decisions you make in divorce can live with one for a very long time. I consider myself fortunate that I was connected with Joe DiGiorgio who guided me through the divorce process, mediation and recently, a change in custody that one of my children had requested. Joe's compassion, understanding of the law and local norms in Chester County allowed for the best outcome possible for all. Joe made sure we did the right thing by all as treating people with the needed respect and dignity are critical. Thanks to good counsel and a few laughs along the way. Thanks! Chris

I utilized Joe DiGiorgio for my divorce and relocation with my child. I can't tell you enough on what a sharp and thorough lawyer he is! He was a bulldog and went after everything I deserved. He is a kind and thoughtful lawyer who will go the extra mile for you. I highly recommend this law firm. The reason I choose them in the first place is because an acquaintance of mine was dating a man who was on the other end of Joe DiGiorgio. Joe was his wife lawyer. He said that he wished he had his ex wife lawyer because "that guy ran me into the ground". I was sold and I am so glad I choose Joe. We won our relocation case and he has been super helpful in getting me everything I deserve for my divorce.

Susan has been representing me for the past two years with my on-going custody dispute. I am the father with primary custody since my daughter was born. The dispute started messy since my ex filed in the wrong county in 2014 and we also already had an order in place from 2011 that she had not exercised in a while. There were a lot of circumstances that made my case unique. Despite this, Susan handled it and accomplished exactly what my family needed in writing and court ordered. Visits started slow and supervised and worked their way from there as my ex and my daughter developed a relationship again. Several restrictions were put in place to protect my daughter and those restrictions I did not know could be fought for and thanks to Susan they were implemented in the new order. All went well for me legally until i decided to relocate with my daughter. I wanted to relocate form Pa to Fla due a new job opportunity and to be closer to family in Florida. We had to make the relocation happen quickly due to the time frame for me to take the new job and to set my daughter up in her new school. Susan assisted us with the process and sped it up it tremendously. My ex's lawyer was very stubborn and difficult despite everyone being in agreement. If it wasn't for Susan's dedication and persistence with staying on top of things and not backing down, my daughter would not have started school on time. The drafting of the final order came about after at least 15-20 emails back and forth due to the hassle the other attorney created. Susan always responded promptly and cc'd me on every email so I was always informed on the developments. My ex didn't even know what was going on at most times (due to her lawyer's lack of communication with her). So it felt good that I always was informed and asked if I would like to proceed based on her recommendation or not. in conclusion my family relocated without issue and I didn't even have to appear in court since we met agreement outside of it. Susan forwarded new order immediately to judge made sure it was signed off on and put in place so that the court date that was set was cancelled. I was very happy with the outcome both times and will continue to use her services if anything arises in the future.

Susan represented me in my divorce in 2002. She was very understanding and responsivem, and not once did I feel she wasted a minute of my time or a dime of my money. My ex-husband's lawyer tended to be unresponsive and she kept the process moving while giving me the option of hastening the process myself to save some money. She was very thorough in her work and kept me informed of everything that was happening in a very timely, business-like matter. I have recommended her several times and would highly recommend her to anyone going through a divorce.

Susan was my first (of three) attorney in my child custody case. She appeared trustworthy and responsive; however, I think simply due to the nature of my case, I felt there was a lack of knowledge/experience. Susan didn't "fail" me at all; I truly believe she had not yet dealt with something so multi-pronged as my divorce and child custody case, that I think she wasn't sure how to handle all of the pieces of it and tried to work too amicably with my ex-spouse's attorney. Her efforts were commendable, though. I knew, handsdown, there was abuse from my ex-spouse towards myself and my child. We had both been victims. Susan, a decent practicing attorney, tried to take the approach that each spouse has the right to have visitation with the minor child in a divorce. As an educator for 23 years, I never felt quite right about this, having witnessed the complete opposite of this court-forced idea: hundreds of children are completely negatively affected by constant contact with an abusive parent; these truths often resurrect themselves in a child's school work and ultimately, in the guidance office meetings where a child finally reveals the abuse, after years of having to "go to visitation" with the abuser. Moreover, my child and I were victimized by my ex-spouse: sexually, emotionally, physically, and psychologically - all documented. My contention was that my child was overwhelmingly afraid of her biological father due to the abuse. As an adult, I was able to stay away from him; however, there truly wasn't anything permanent being done to protect my child for additional abuse, since the tone of child custody in Pennsylvania seems to be that everyone -- even abusers -- get a "chance at visitation" with the child. And so, I did the only thing a healthy parent would do: protect the child and not send my child on a visit. I would be chastised for doing such a deed; however, I didn't care. I knew, handsdown, a child had to be protected. And so , I fought back by refusing to send my child. Despite evidence of my child's fear and the documented, growing illegal and immoral behavior patterns with my ex-spouse (documented by an investigation team), the ex-spouse's push for visitation continued. An abuser ALWAYS wants access to his prey. It wasn't until another attorney took Susan's first efforts and applied major pressue in the court system, and then my final straw of representing myself in another state, that I was awarded full, sole, legal, and physical custody of my child. All levels of abusive contact were denied, and my child never again had to talk with, visit, phone, have nightmares about, feel intimidated and threatened, experience forced "reunification" meetings (ugh!), or send/receive mail from her abusive biological father ever again. Now, almost seven years later, with absolutely no contact, safe and sound in another state with me, my child is such a happy, productive, loving young adult member of society -- free from one man's ruthless sexual, emotional, physical, and psychological trauma. The enitre child custody process took about 2 years after the initial filing of the divorce. I knew there was enough evidence to secure my child's safety; someone had to have the complete experience and knowledge to address it with a judge. And when that happened, a child was saved from further abuse. The judge asked me why hadn't any of my legal representation ever tabled all of these facts with a judge much sooner to protect the child??? Lesson learned: child abuse is child abuse. Period. Every child must be protected. Susan began a fight, and for this, I am grateful to her. It is my sincere hope that my case helped her grow in understanding that not every child should be in the company of a biological parent -- especially when that parent is an abuser. I am happy to report that federal agents ultimately caught up with my ex-spouse and have now protected other children from this man's vicious abuse.
