Jeffrey T. Bitzer opened his practice of law in 1982 and has operated from the same location, across the street from the York County Courthouse for over 27 years. His goal has always been to provide affordable legal services to his hometown community. By offering professional services at a competitive hourly rate, Attorney Bitzer has been able to count hundreds of York Counties as his clients over the years. Attorney Bitzer's concentration has been on Family Law. In his divorce and child custody work, Attorney Bitzer endeavors to minimize the trauma on the family by helping his clients find new and acceptable ways of dealing with children and family expenses. If your resources are limited, be certain to discuss with Attorney Bitzer how to get the most value for your dollar. Statistically, 86% of civil cases end in a settlement. The settlement gives you control over the outcomes of your case, rather than having the decision made by a Judge who knows little about you and your family. Generally, a settlement is the most economical resolution. We will often encourage clients to find a resolution by agreement and Attorney Bitzer is exceptionally creative at finding resolutions in the most difficult of circumstances. If your goal requires litigation, certainly he will prepare your matter for Court after a full consultation with you. An elderly lawyer once explained that he enjoyed being a lawyer because it allowed him to participate in important events in people's lives.
