Kim A. Bodnar, Attorney at Law

Divorce
Child Support
Once the court has determined how much time the children will spend with each parent, they will determine who has to pay child support and in what amount. This is done after reviewing the income of each parent. If you dispute how much your ex says that they make, you should provide evidence during your divorce trial for why they actually earn more money. This must be done before the judge makes a ruling. Otherwise, the judge will use the amount of income that they have provided. Finding the right evidence can be difficult, and Kim A. Bodnar can provide guidance for how to do so.
Child Custody and Visitation
At Kim A. Bodnar, Attorney at Law, I work with clients that are disputing their current child custody arrangement or trying to establish it for the first time. These cases can be both complicated and difficult but Kim A. Bodnar is experienced and will fight to get you the best possible outcome. If you live in Pennsylvania, donâ€™t try to resolve your custody situation without the help of a skilled attorney because the judgeâ€™s determination can impact the future of both you and your children for years to come. To schedule a consultation, call.
Adoption
Premarital Agreement
Prior to getting married, I recommend entering into a prenuptial agreement. I work with couples in Pittsburgh, PA to help them reach an understanding about what each person has gone into the marriage and what they would retain if the marriage were to dissolve. A prenuptial agreement can also include provisions for how joint assets would be divided, alimony, etc. in the event of a divorce. It may seem unromantic, but divorce is incredibly common, and my job as a family attorney is to protect my clients. A prenuptial agreement is the best way to protect the assets you own now and your ownership interest in what will be acquired in the future. At Kim A. Bodnar, Attorney at Law, I advise my clients to plan ahead, and if the agreement is never needed, thatâ€™s excellent news. If, however, my clients get divorced this will make the process go smoothly and prevent what can turn into a vicious court battle.
Guardianship
If a person dies and the estate or a large portion of it, is left to a minor child, a legal guardian will need to be appointed for them and the estate until they reach adulthood. One way to address this issue is to create a trust that holds the assets and dictates how the assets are to be spent. This way the assets within the estate donâ€™t need to go through probate and the only issue that needs to be resolved is the legal guardianship of a minor child which is outlined already in the will. In the 15219 area, the court has to approve your request for who takes care of your child but they typically will go along with your wishes as long as they feel it is in the childâ€™s best interest.
Spousal Support

Criminal Defense
My practice consists of general civil law cases, personal injury cases in County Court of Common (predominantly Allegheny County, also Westmoreland, Greene, Washington, Butler, Lawrence, Armstrong, Crawford, Cambria, and Beaver Counties) and Federal Court. I act as counsel for various enterprises, handling preliminary injunctions, unemployment hearings, workersâ€™ compensation hearings, criminal matters, foreclosure matters as well as Petitions to open or strike judgments, procedural arguments, discovery motions, sanctions, etc. Essentially, all aspects of a general, predominately civil practice.
DUI/DWI
First, try and stay calm. If you get worked up and nervous you will naturally appear guilty. The officer will ask for your driverâ€™s license and insurance card so pull that out and be prepared to hand it to them. If the officer sees any open alcohol containers or smells alcohol on your breath, they will likely ask you to step out of the vehicle. At this time, you may be asked to walk in a straight line or take a breathalyzer test. You have the right to decide whether or not to comply. If you elect to not take a breathalyzer test, you will likely be taken to jail, or they may request a warrant to force you to comply. If you are taken to jail, call my office so that you can benefit from Kim A. Bodnarâ€™s experience as a DUI attorney. You can reach Kim A. Bodnar, Attorney at Law by calling.
Wrongful Death
With Kim A. Bodnar, Attorney at Law, Attorney Bodnar represents clients that have had a loved one die as a result of someone elseâ€™s negligent or careless behavior. When a family member passes away, it is a stressful and emotional experience. If the death was unexpected and the result of an accident, it can be even more difficult as a family was left without the preparation that normally occurs when someone is sick. This often leaves families throughout Pennsylvania without the means to provide for themselves like they were when that person was alive. I understand the emotional and financial difficulty this causes and work to help families throughout the 15219 area get the compensation they deserve for both pain and suffering and the loss of wages. If you or someone you know needs a wrongful death attorney, call to schedule a consultation.
Traffic Violations
If you are arrested for drunk driving, you need a DUI attorney that understands Pennsylvania state laws. Each state has different guidelines when it comes to the difference between drunk driving and reckless driving along with the consequences of a conviction. Kim A. Bodnar is a true expert and can help you to navigate through the court system while making an argument for why the charges should be dropped or reduced. To learn more or to get immediate help, call.
Theft

Business and Corporate Law

Business Disputes
If you own a business in the Pittsburgh area, there is a good chance that you will face contract and business disputes throughout your career. From a simple misunderstanding over what commission is due to a salesperson to an in-depth partnership or royalties agreement, there are many ways to interpret a contract that often lead to confusion and disagreements. If you find yourself in a dispute with an employee, partner, investor, vendor, or client, I encourage you to call and schedule a consultation with my Pittsburgh law office. At Kim A. Bodnar, Attorney at Law, I can evaluate your case, discuss your options and the best way to proceed with your case. At times going to court is a viable option due to how high the stakes are and the amount of evidence in your favor. If, however, the case is ambiguous, or the potential damages are minimal, I may suggest mediation or arbitration as an alternative dispute resolution method. This can be more cost-effective while still resolving the dispute at hand.

Workers Compensation
At Kim A. Bodnar, Attorney at Law, I represent those that are involved in workers' compensation disputes. Pennsylvania laws are in place to protect workers, but those laws are not always followed, leading to potentially dangerous situations. In my Pittsburgh law office, I represent workers and their families that have been the victim of negligence on behalf of their employer. Due to a failure to properly implement workers' safety training programs, protocols, or proper equipment maintenance, thousands of workers are injured on the job every year. In fact, according to OSHA 4,405 workers were killed on the job in 2013. If you or your loved one was the victim of a workplace accident and either injured or killed, I invite you to call and schedule a consultation so that I can discuss the extent of the injuries and the best way to proceed.

Landlord-Tenant Disputes

Personal Injury
If you have been injured in an accident or collision, you need a personal injury attorney. I am exceptionally skilled at trying personal injury cases and ensuring that clients throughout Pennsylvania are able to seek the compensation they deserve. To schedule a free consultation, reach out to me today in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I proudly serve those in Allegheny, Greene, Washington, Butler, and Lawrence counties, as well as those throughout the state of Florida.
Auto Accidents
Social Security Disability
As an expert in elder law, I can help you to apply for social security benefits or social security disability. Depending on the situation, this can be a complicated process and failure to complete the forms correctly can lead to an unfortunate denial, especially in the case of social security disability. At Kim A. Bodnar, Attorney at Law, I help clients throughout the Pittsburgh area to receive the social security compensation they are entitled to and can walk you through the process.
Slip and Fall Injury

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
When you leave someone an inheritance, it will impact their entire future, so it is important to create a document that does more than simply transfer assets. If you are looking for a more comprehensive estate planning solution, ask Kim A. Bodnar to create a trust for you and your family. There are many reasons that people throughout Pittsburgh, PA have a trust created. It provides the ability to plan for the future beyond what is available when creating a will. For example, if you are giving assets or money to certain heirs, you can control when the funds pass to them. This is particularly relevant if you want children or grandchildren to have reached a certain age and passed milestones prior to giving them any money. By exercising more control, you can set them up for a successful future where the funds are, hopefully, used wisely.
Wills
As a Pittsburgh Estate Law Firm, I work with clients throughout the 15219 area and help them to prepare for their future. Regardless of how sizeable your assets are, it is important to create wills and trusts that document how those assets will be distributed. When you die, your estate includes everything that you own including homes, cars, personal belongings, bank accounts, retirement funds, investments, life insurance policies, and more. If you donâ€™t plan for where you want your assets to go, an administrator who may or may not know you may be left to make those decisions on your behalf in probate court. Avoid this situation by calling and scheduling an appointment with Kim A. Bodnar to ensure that your wishes are carried out both now and in the future.
Trusts
If you create a living trust and transfer assets into it, you can prevent the need for your heirs to go through probate court. With Kim A. Bodnar, Attorney at Law, I can help with estate planning so that you can create a trust that protects your assets so that when you die, everything is immediately transferred to your heirs according to your wishes. This will also prevent the need to go through probate in multiple states if you own property outside of Pennsylvania. Planning ahead can save your heirs from going through a difficult experience later on.
Power of Attorney
In my elder law office, I often recommend that my clients have us create a power of attorney that grants the ability of a loved one to make medical decisions on their behalf. Since there is no way to know what the future holds, this medical healthcare power of attorney can ensure that someone you trust is available to carry out your wishes in the event that you are unable to communicate with your doctor. This can be a powerful tool, so it is important to have in-depth discussions about what your wishes are prior to executing one. I can, however, assist in this process while creating your living will or estate plan. If you live in the Pittsburgh area and would like to discuss this option further, I invite you to call Kim A. Bodnar, Attorney at Law.
Probate

Foreclosure
As a wrongful death attorney, Kim A. Bodnar will fight to make sure that you receive the maximum amount of compensation so that you and your family are taken care of after the death of your loved one. This is particularly important when children are involved, and the personsâ€™ death has made it difficult or impossible to keep up with the bills. Whether you are struggling to pay tuition or facing foreclosure, at the Kim A. Bodnar, Attorney at Law I can communicate with your creditors and try to ease the burden pending trial. Much of the time they will pause trying to collect until the case is settled. Prior to going to court Kim A. Bodnar will conduct research to determine the amount of financial loss that your family has suffered as a result of the death and build a case for why you are entitled to it.
Tax Law
Depending on the size of the estate and heirs, taxes may be old. Kim A. Bodnar can give you advice on whether or not taxes are likely to be due. The majority of estates donâ€™t have to pay any federal estate taxes but if it looks like the estate is nearing the threshold, it is important to consult an attorney right away so that you can avoid giving up more for the estate than you have to.
