You'll work directly with Laura or Joe from your first call through settlement or verdict.

Workers’ Compensation

Getting hurt on the job shouldn't mean fighting your own employer's insurance company for the benefits you're owed. Our Pittsburgh workers' compensation attorneys represent laborers, healthcare workers, and manufacturing employees across construction sites, hospitals, and factories, pushing back when a claim is denied, delayed, or undervalued so you get the full medical care and wage benefits Pennsylvania law entitles you to.

Heavy machinery mishaps, scaffolding collapses, and high-altitude falls on construction sites require a rigorous legal strategy to ensure injured laborers receive the full medical and wage benefits they deserve.

Manufacturing Injuries

Industrial and manufacturing environments carry severe risks of equipment malfunctions, repetitive strain, and toxic exposure, demanding experienced legal representation to navigate the claims process after an on-the-job accident.

Compromise and Release

Before signing a lump-sum settlement offer that could permanently waive your rights to future medical coverage, our attorneys will evaluate the true lifetime value of your claim to help secure a fair and lasting resolution.

Wills and Trusts

Estate planning isn't just for later in life — it's how you protect the people who matter to you now. Our Pittsburgh attorneys help individuals and families put clear, legally sound plans in place, from drafting a will and establishing a trust to naming a power of attorney and guiding an estate through probate. We take the time to understand your goals so the plan we build actually reflects your wishes under Pennsylvania law.

Securing your family’s future begins with a legally sound will that clearly dictates asset distribution, designates guardians for minor children, and appoints a trusted executor to carry out your exact wishes under Pennsylvania law.

Trust Creation and Administration

For individuals seeking to bypass the public probate process or provide for loved ones with specific financial needs, our Pittsburgh attorneys establish robust living and irrevocable trusts that offer privacy, flexibility, and lasting asset protection.

Living Wills and Powers of Attorney

Designating a dependable representative through a durable power of attorney and drafting clear advance medical directives ensures your finances, estate, and healthcare preferences remain completely protected if you are ever unable to speak for yourself.
