About Us

The cornerstone is the rock upon which a whole structure is built. If it’s out of line, the building will be also. If it is weak, the foundation will not hold. In the same way, law undergirds the morals and processes of society.

Stephanie D. Rauch-Mannino, Esquire, recently helped my husband and I get our Estate Planning documents completed. Stephanie was friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. She made me feel welcome and comfortable. My husband and I were very pleased. I would recommend Cornerstone Law Firm and will definitely consider them for future use.

Lisa

five red stars…I came across Cornerstone Law Firm and was impressed with the reviews so I called them and I’m glad I did. Attorney Benjamin Lewis was very upfront with me about what to expect with my case. The Plaintiff withdrew the case against me before the first hearing. There wasn’t any detail or explanation about the withdrawal but it was such a relief! Cornerstone Law Firm even refunded me more than half of my retainer. I was not expecting that at all. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Attorney Lewis and Maria, for assisting me throughout this ordeal.

Nenette

Dawn

five red starsI worked with Attorney Joel Ready on a sensitive case; he was responsive, and very helpful. Everybody that I dealt with or spoke to was very professional, respectful, and polite. They did a great job and locked up my case in a few short months. I highly recommend them and if I ever need something in the future I will return to them.

I recently had some counsel from Joel Ready of Cornerstone Law Firm that provided professional and legal assistance to me in a time of need. I can attest to the intelligence but also the compassion that they have for those in need and having both of those attributes together is often a very rare aspect. I truly appreciate Joel and Cornerstone Law Firm!

Diane

five red starsWe’re so glad to have Cornerstone as a partner of ours. They’re super responsive, very transparent, and extremely knowledgeable in all things legal. They’ve been quite helpful to our company in helping with several transactions. It’s unusual in this day and age to have attorneys that we also call friends. Keep up the good work!

Thomas

five red starsI contacted a few attorneys about assisting me with the probate and Estate process after my mother passed. Joel was very responsive and personable. He identified options and considerations that were not mentioned by the other attorneys. I truly felt he was working in my best interest. I chose to work with him and will definitely be using him for my own estate planning in the future.
