What our clients are saying...

"Your skill and expertise was a huge comfort to our family during the overwhelming phase of maneuvering through the transition of Mom's passing. We were unsure of what to do and how to proceed. You brought a cheerful presence that made our process of making major decisions a smooth one. You knew just where to step in to help, asked all the right questions and on your own initiative took thorough care of all legal details so we could focus on what we needed to do. You kept us informed throughout the process. All details of the estate were handled quickly and competently. Thanks again Luann for all your help!" - Mike Davis

PBA/YLD Mock Trial Competition

PictureLittlestown High School Mock Trial Team
Littlestown is the only high school in Adams County that competes in PBA/YLD Mock Trial state-wide competition. For over six years, Matt Battersby has been coaching students to “think on their feet", analyse the facts and governing laws, formulate arguments, and present the case inside the prescribed rules of evidence that are all part of the Mock Trial “experience”! 

The competition, sponsored by the PA Bar Association, is an opportunity for more than 300 Pennsylvania high school students to act as lawyers and witnesses in fictitious civil and criminal trials before real-life judges and juries. The winning team goes on to represent Pennsylvania in a national competition.
