Practice Areas

At the Law Offices of Gary D. Marchalk, LLC, we help people with a wide variety of legal issues, always focusing on the best interest of our clients and striving to find the most cost-effective solution to their problems.

It is our job to handle the practical, nuts-and-bolts aspects of legal issues such as divorce, business planning and disputes, and estate planning and administration. We understand that the law is complex to those who do not deal with it on a day-to-day basis, and we strive to not only protect your rights but to make sure you understand all your options. We understand how important your problem is to you, and we take your confidence in us very seriously.

If you would like to discuss our services, contact our law office in Tamaqua. Our lawyers understand that it is difficult for you to fit these extra responsibilities into your busy life, and we can arrange evening and weekend appointments. We also will be happy to discuss payment plans and anticipated legal costs.

Pennsylvania Family Law

First and foremost, it is our goal to explain your rights to you and recommend a course of action that protects those rights as much as possible. We are often able to negotiate reasonable divorce and family law agreements for our clients, saving them the cost and emotional turmoil of pursuing their case in court. Sometimes, however, litigating your case in court is either the best or only way to protect your interests or those of your children. We are fully prepared to take your case to trial when necessary.

As family law attorneys, we handle divorce, child custody, child support, division of marital property, alimony, prenuptial agreements, and paternity disputes, among others.

Real Estate Transactions

We represent buyers, sellers, realtors, and financial institutions in commercial and residential real estate transactions; draft and review agreements of sale and commercial or residential leases; handle landlord-tenant disputes; and conduct commercial and residential real estate closings involving the purchase of real estate or the refinancing of existing real estate mortgages.

Estate Planning

The founder of our firm, attorney Gary Marchalk, has years of experience as an accountant and has prepared numerous federal and state estate and inheritance tax returns. He has represented clients before both the federal Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue, so he understands the importance of preparing your will, living will, durable power of attorney, life insurance trust, or other trust to avoid unnecessary losses to taxation.

Estate Administration and Probate

Attorney Marchalk, Keith Hoppes, and paralegal Linda Marchalk understand how difficult the probate process can be for our clients – particularly since you are dealing not only with legal and financial issues but also with the loss of a loved one. They will guide you through the process, handling the necessary paperwork, and making sure that you fulfill your responsibilities as an executor or administrator of your loved one’s estate.

Pennsylvania Criminal Defense

If you have been charged with a crime in central Pennsylvania, even DUI, you should seek advice from an experienced Pennsylvania criminal defense lawyer to find out what your rights are. We are prepared to defend you before a jury or negotiate a reasonable plea agreement on your behalf.

Auto Accidents and Work Injuries

If you have been injured at work, in a serious accident, or as a result of someone else’s negligence or malpractice, do you know what a fair settlement offer should be?  Attorney David J. Rice brings over 20 years of personal injury trial experience to the firm, having previously worked for a personal injury law firm in Philadelphia.   Contact a personal injury lawyer at the Law Offices of Gary D. Marchalk, LLC, for an evaluation of your claim. If your case deals with an issue or area of law that we do not handle on a regular basis, we will provide you with a referral to another attorney or law firm that can help you, while we stay involved throughout the process.

Business Law

We handle entity formation for corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, and non-profit organizations. Our founder, attorney Marchalk, brings years of practical experience to the table.

Prior to becoming an attorney, he held positions as an accounting manager, credit and collections manager, loan officer, human resource manager, and law firm and business administrator, so he understands how the law affects your business. As a business lawyer, he understands the dollars-and-cents aspects of your problem, and his advice is geared toward making sure you understand how your potential legal problem could impact your company’s bottom line.
