Law Firm Overview

The Law Office of Maribeth Blessing, LLC provides a variety of legal help and representation in matters of law. It deals primarily with family law, wills and trusts, personal injury, mediation and arbitration, and bankruptcy. It also handles matters that include child custody and visitation, custody evaluations, childrens rights counseling, and many more. The firm assists in various personal injury matters like motor vehicle accidents, truck accidents, and wrongful death.

Our law firm is committed to resolving disputes using alternative disputes resolution (ADR) techniques, when appropriate, such as mediation and arbitration. By using ADR, we are able to save clients time, money and distress in a wide variety of legal matters. We are also advocates of collaborative law/collaborative divorce as a way to resolve family law disputes involving divorce, custody, and support. Our founding lawyer, Maribeth Blessing, is a member of Collaborative Family Law Affiliates, Association of Conflict Resolution and the Pennsylvania Council of Mediators, and has served as a court-appointed mediator and arbitrator.

We encourage prospective clients to schedule an initial consultation with one of our attorneys so they can learn about our firm, our practice and our approach to legal matters. The cost of the consultation depends on the area of law. For example, for family law matters, we provide a free 10 minute consultation by phone. We also offer a two-hour, in-depth initial consultation for a very reasonable fee.

Practice Areas

Practice Areas Description

- Family Law

Our law firm was founded in 1999 to protect and preserve families. We continue this focus today, advocating for clients in family law matters such as divorce, adoption, custody and support. Our goal is to help people get through a difficult and complex matter such as divorce and make good choices about the future of their families.


- Divorce

Going through a divorce is one of the most difficult things a person can do. At our law firm, we are dedicated to helping people get through the process and start rebuilding their lives and their families. Because divorce is so stressful, we believe that people should not add to the stress by using the courtroom to resolve their differences, unless necessary. We are advocates of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) processes that are usually faster, less adversarial and often less expensive.


- Child Custody

Working out issues related to child custody and visitation is often the most contentious issue in divorce. Parents sometimes try to hurt the other spouse by making unreasonable custody proposals. At our law firm, we try to refocus parents' anger so they can concentrate on doing what's right for their children. One way we do this is by advocating for mediation or collaborative family law.


- Spousal and Child Support

Another common issue in divorce is support — both child support and spousal support. Our Philadelphia area law firm is well positioned to advocate for clients in these matters. Our principal family law attorney, Maribeth Blessing, has significant professional and personal experience that strengthens the firm's ability to provide clients strong advocacy in this area.


- Adoption

At our Rockledge, Pennsylvania, law firm, the Law Offices of Maribeth Blessing, LLC, we help step parents and same sex couples complete the adoption process. Attorney Blessing has been practicing family law for more than 18 years and has the knowledge and experience needed to bring an adoption to a successful conclusion.


- Collaborative Law

The attorneys at our Rockledge, Pennsylvania, law firm are committed to resolving family law problems as amicably as possible. We urge a client involved in a divorce or other family law dispute to consider using the collaborative law process. The goal of this alternative dispute resolution (ADR) technique is to develop solutions in a positive environment outside the courtroom.


- Equitable Distribution

One of the most contentious issues in many divorces is the division of assets and debts. In Pennsylvania, the process of dividing assets and debts is known as equitable distribution. Equitable distribution does not mean equal division. Rather, the process is based on what the court believes is fair, and relies on a number of factors when determining the final outcome.


- Arbitration

Arbitration is a form of alternative dispute resolution that focuses on determining an outcome to a legal dispute without resorting to trial. In many ways it is like a trial, with the two parties presenting evidence, testimony and experts with lawyers present. However, it is generally much faster and may be less expensive, depending on the case.


- Mediation

Unlike arbitration, mediation does not employ a neutral third party to make a judgment that is binding on the parties. Rather, mediation is a facilitated process in which the parties arrive at their own decisions. Like arbitration, mediation is usually faster and more private. Unlike arbitration, rules of evidence and other court procedures do not apply unless the parties request them.


- Will and Estate Planning

Through direct contact by our clients and in the context of our family law practice at the Law Offices of Maribeth Blessing, LLC, we are frequently asked questions concerning estate planning, trusts, and wills. Are you interested in protecting what's yours? Would you like to ensure that your assets go to the right people upon your death? Are you prepared for the unexpected?


- Bankruptcy

Navigating the complex rules and schedules involved in bankruptcy proceedings can make an already difficult situation seem impossible. When so much is at stake, it is better to have counsel than to go it alone. For knowledgeable advice and counsel from an experienced Montgomery County bankruptcy attorney, turn to the Law Offices of Maribeth Blessing, LLC.


- Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Deciding whether to file for bankruptcy is difficult. You worked hard so that you would never be in this position, and now that you are facing a financial nightmare, it may feel like your world is falling apart. Yet, there is hope. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is often called fresh start bankruptcy because it allows consumers to discharge many of their debts and start anew.


- Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is often the only debt relief option for people with significant debt and a regular income. It allows individuals to negotiate a plan to repay their debts over a three or five year period.If you are considering filing for bankruptcy, turn to an experienced Montgomery and Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Chapter 13 bankruptcy lawyer at the Law Offices of Maribeth Blessing, LLC. We are sensitive to the impact of bankruptcy on you and will counsel you throughout the process so that you can focus on a more positive future.


-Business and Commercial Law

When operating a small or mid-sized company, it is important to have experienced legal advice and representation. Organizations such as small family businesses and privately held companies seldom have an attorney on staff and need to identify a firm that can meet their legal needs. Large companies can also benefit when they have available outside counsel with particular expertise.


- Commercial Litigation

Most organizations, whatever their size, strive to avoid costly and time-consuming litigation. However, when a commercial or business dispute cannot be resolved to the satisfaction of the parties, litigation may be inevitable. It is important to have an experienced and knowledgeable lawyer to advise and represent you during litigation so that you can focus on running the business.


- Commercial Transactions

It's important to have commercial and business transactions completed correctly. It is also important to understand the risk factors in any transaction and to properly assign risk in the final document. This can save an organization hundreds or thousands of dollars later on by helping to avoid disputes and litigation. It is worth the time and expense to obtain experienced and thorough legal advice when drafting or reviewing legal documents such as contracts, letters of agreement and incorporation papers.


- Contracts

Business relationships are built and run on contracts. For this reason, it is important to obtain legal counsel with extensive experience in analyzing, drafting, and negotiating contracts. Philadelphia area, commercial contracts lawyer, Glenn C. Romano has more than 20 years of experience in business transactions affecting a wide variety of industries. This includes eight years of experience as in-house, contracts counsel for the Philadelphia Gas Works.


- Personal Injury

People injured in accidents caused by the negligence of others need information about their options and their rights. Serious injuries have significant financial, physical, emotional and mental consequences for the victim and the victim's family. At our Philadelphia area law firm, we help accident victims address these consequences, answering their questions and helping them pursue the compensation they need to move forward.


- Car Accident

Car accidents occur every day. But when they happen to you, need information about your rights and options. At our Philadelphia area law firm, Law Offices of Maribeth Blessing, LLC, our personal injury attorney provides clients with answers and helps them exercise their rights. We deal with insurance companies for them, seeking full compensation for their medical bills, lost income and other costs of an accident.


- Truck Accident

Our attorneys at the Rockledge, Pennsylvania, law firm help people injured in truck accidents pursue the compensation they need and deserve. Injuries from trucking accidents involving semis, delivery trucks, gravel trucks and other large vehicles can be catastrophic or fatal. Our law firm builds strong cases for clients so they can obtain payment for their medical bills, pain and suffering, and past and future income lost because of the accident.


- Motorcycle Accident

Motorcycle accidents usually result in serious injuries. The rider is unprotected by anything except clothing and helmet. The consequences of an accident involving a motorcycle include head and brain injuries, back injuries, spinal cord injuries and paralysis, multiple fractures, burns, and extensive abrasions and contusions.


- Southeast Pennsylvania Transit Accidents

Public transportation in the Philadelphia region is operated by SEPTA, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority. The system, which operates buses, subways, trolleys and trains, is heavily used by area residents. The large number of daily passengers make injuries almost inevitable. When those injuries are the result of negligence, the injured party may be able to obtain compensation.


- Birth Injury

Located in Rockledge (Montgomery County), the medical malpractice attorneys at the Law Offices of Maribeth Blessing can provide you with aggressive representation for birth injuries or other serious injuries sustained due to a doctor, nurse, hospital, or other medical professional's negligence.


- Catastrophic Injury

The personal injury attorneys at the Law Offices of Maribeth Blessing represent clients throughout the Philadelphia metro area who have been seriously injured or need to file a wrongful death lawsuit.


- Slip and Fall

At some point in our lives, nearly everyone will sustain some form of injury by slipping or tripping and falling to the ground. Not every slip and fall (or trip and fall) results in a claim where you can receive compensation for your injuries.


- Pedestrian Injury

Drivers have a strict responsibility to watch out for pedestrians. They must be vigilant everywhere, from the busiest and most dangerous intersections in Philadelphia to the quiet roads of rural Pennsylvania. When drivers act carelessly — taking corners too quickly, failing to watch for pedestrians in crosswalks, failing to stop at stop signs, etc. — they can cause serious injuries, even death.


- Drunk Driving

The words "car accident" don't describe what happened to you or your loved one. A DUI crash is not an accident. It is the result of someone else's terrible choice, and it has left you forever scarred — both emotionally and physically.
