Professionalism is the Word
I highly Recommend Gibson & Perkins. I have used their services for approximately 6 years now and been through a few cases together with very positive outcomes. Personally, I have used Paul Fellman and Walter Timby on those occasions. Both, as a team & separately these Attorneys were wonderful to work with and easily accessible to reach if I had any questions. Professionalism is the word that comes to mind to describe the firm, as a whole. Always completely prepared for any surprises that may pop up during a trial. They were well versed on all pertinent info pertaining to each case. As I client, I always felt I was an integral part of the team, not an after-thought, that had to be brought up to speed a half hour before the trial started. I could not recommend this firm and Mr. Fellman and Mr. Timby any higher.Very Satisfied
I hired Paul Fellman after speeking to several different lawyers from different law firms because he was the most sincere. Paul did an excellent job on my landlord tenant issue I had on my rental property. He was there for me from the beginning to the end of the whole ordeal. I was very satisfied and I highly recommend him and his firm.

Question:
In Delaware County, is my company subject to state or federal anti-discrimination laws?
Answer:
A common concern with employers is whether they are subject to state or federal anti-discrimination laws. The answer to this question depends largely on how many employees you have.
A lot of the times, the federal and state’s statutes overlap regarding the conduct they prohibit. In the federal context, you are subject to Title VII of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964, which prohibits generally discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, pregnancy. Those laws will apply to you if you have 15 or more employees.
Another major federal statute is the Age Discrimination and Employment Act (ADEA), which prohibits discrimination based on age. This applies to companies more than 20 employees.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which prohibits discrimination against employees or applicants based on a known or perceived disability. This will apply to you if you have 25 or more employees.
On the state level and Pennsylvania, specifically, there is one comprehensive statute and that is the Human Relations Act and that applies to you as an employer if you have four or more employees. It’s a much lower threshold and it’s also more comprehensive than the individual federal statutes, but it covers the same areas: national origin, religion, sex, disability, and a few additional topics.
