Areas of Practice
Litigation
We know courts. Mike and Ken began their legal careers working as law clerks for distinguished judges — Mike, with former Chief District Judge Joy Flowers Conti of the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, and Ken, with Judge Zoran Popovich of the Superior Court of Pennsylvania. Mike and Ken have successfully litigated cases in numerous federal courts across the United States and in every court of common pleas in Southwest Pennsylvania. Whether your matter is in state court, federal court or private arbitration, we have the knowledge, experience, and focus to help you get results.
Personal injury
From negotiations with insurance carriers and third parties, to arbitration hearings, mediation, and litigation, we have the resources and experience to help you recover for your loss.
OIL & GAS
We know oil and gas law. Ken has been advising clients on oil and gas matters since before the shale revolution began. We regularly represent some of the largest oil and gas operators and mineral rights owners in Appalachia, and we can put our expertise to work for you.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
The startup and small business marketplace is still a new and fierce frontier that requires legal advice from an attorney. We offer a competitive advantage that can help you save money and make more of it in the long run. Our holistic approach is essential to any company looking to grow.
Outside corporate counsel
We believe that an attorney should be a key business advisor, not just a legal technician. We bring the strategic insight and the credibility of an experienced lawyer to your issue. Whether it's for a particular project or to pick up ordinary-course work during particularly busy times, we provide insight and stability.
Estate Planning
We have a well established estate practice. We routinely handle all aspects of estate planning, including will drafting, inheritance and estate tax matters, probate, and will contests. In addition, we regularly assist clients with guardianship matters and living wills.
