The late Attorney Chester C. Corse, Jr. (known as “Pete” to his friends and colleagues), an esteemed former partner of WFJ Law, was a steadfast and enthusiastic benefactor of the Pennsylvanian Bar Association Mock Trial Competition.

Attorney Corse’s involvement with the statewide Mock Trial Competition spanned many decades. His legacy within the Pennsylvania Bar Association continues to shine brightly through the “Chester ‘Pete’ Corse Jr. Mock Trial Grant,” named in his memory to honor his extensive service to the Pennsylvania Bar Foundation, and his passionate support of the mock trial program.

The Mock Trial Grant was established to help offset costs associated with participation in the Pennsylvania Bar Association’s High School Mock Trial Competition.

As the fund grows, it will become a resource for financial assistance for high school teams, covering expenses such as travel, entry fees, and other costs related to participating in the competition.

Iles was recognized last night at the Bar Association's President's Dinner for his fifty years of service and membership in the Schuylkill County Bar Association.

If you know Iles, he's passionate about his work, clients, family, and faith. He's also well known for his great speeches and sense of humor! We're privileged to have him as a friend and colleague at WFJ Law.

***Scam Alert***

Our office has received multiple calls from Schuylkill County residents who received threatening text messages.

The text messages claim to be from PennDOT and state that the recipient has a delinquent "traffic violation account" and directs users to pay through an "Official Secure Portal".

This is a scam and you should ignore / disregard such notices.

Receive a shockingly high property tax bill due to the recent countywide reassessment?

We lowered hundreds of Schuylkill County property tax bills in 2026, such as residences, businesses, apartment buildings, farms, vacant land, and even coal tracts.

Although it is too late to fight 2026 property taxes, challenges to your 2027 property taxes must be filed this year.

Now is the best time to call us to review your property assessment and see if we can help ease the pain for 2027 and beyond.
