Finding a lawyer in Reading

Reading is the seat of Berks County, on the Schuylkill River between Philadelphia and Harrisburg, with a manufacturing history that still shapes the local economy. Cases arising here are generally heard in the Berks County Court of Common Pleas, and Reading's legal market serves county residents across family, criminal and real estate matters.

Legal issues people in Reading bring to lawyers

  • Family & Divorce — divorce, custody and support matters heard in Berks County's Court of Common Pleas.
  • Criminal Defense and DUI & DWI — representation in Berks County's courts, from the preliminary hearing through trial.
  • Personal Injury and Car Accident — crash and negligence claims filed in the Berks County Court of Common Pleas.
  • Real Estate — closings, landlord-tenant and zoning matters for the city and surrounding county.
  • Estate Planning & Probate — wills, trusts and estate administration through the Berks County Register of Wills.

Choosing a law firm in Reading

Confirm the attorney is in good standing with the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, which lists current status and any public discipline; Pennsylvania Bar Association membership is voluntary and not proof of a license. Ask whether the firm regularly appears in Berks County's courts, and who will actually be handling your file day to day. Get the fee arrangement — contingency, hourly or flat fee — spelled out in writing before work begins.

Free and low-cost help

Pennsylvania's legal aid network connects lower-income Berks County residents with a local program for housing, family and benefits matters, and the county bar association runs a lawyer referral service for a reduced-cost first consultation. Anyone facing criminal charges who cannot afford a lawyer is entitled to a court-appointed public defender.
