Divorce
Child Support
Pennsylvania has no fault grounds and fault grounds for divorce. There are two types of no fault grounds: First, in a divorce by mutual consent, the court will grant a divorce 90 days after the filing of the Complaint in Divorce if both parties sign Affidavits of Consent. Second, if only one spouse wants a divorce and the parties have been separated for at least two years, then a divorce will be granted if the other party does not deny the two year separation or that the marriage is irretrievably broken. In a divorce proceeding a party may request alimony, child support, custody, equitable distribution of marital property and reimbursement for attorney's fees and other expenses related to the divorce litigation. The divorce code provides that all property acquired by either spouse during a marriage, with certain exceptions, is marital property regardless of who holds title to the property. If the parties cannot agree to divide the property between themselves then the court will do it for them according to equitable principals. This does not necessarily mean a 50/50 split. The court will consider economic and non-economic (homemaker) contributions to the marriage as well as the parties financial prospects for the future.
Child Custody and Visitation
Matters of child custody, child and spousal support and protection from abuse are also handled in Family Court. Pennsylvania follows rule that the best interests of the children prevails in all custody cases. Custody may be divided or one parent may be granted partial custody. Support will be granted in accordance with guidelines made by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. A protection from abuse order may be granted where one spouse has been injuring to threatening the other, or the children.
Spousal Support
IF YOU DO NOT FILE A CLAIM FOR ALIMONY, DIVISION OF PROPERTY, LAWYER'S FEES OR EXPENSES BEFORE A DIVORCE IS GRANTED, YOU MAY LOSE THE RIGHT TO CLAIM ANY OF THEM.

Criminal Defense
DUI/DWI
Frequently we get calls from people who have have been stopped for minor traffic violations, only to find themselves in unexpected trouble on a DUI (driving under the influence, sometimes called DWI). Many times police officers make mistakes and a DUI can be beat, or you may be eligible for ARD (accelerated rehabilitative disposition) instead of a jail term.
Traffic Violations

Business and Corporate Law

Corporate Law
We handle incorporations, partnership formation and dissolution and business contracts, negotiations, litigation and collections, including representation of secured and unsecured creditors in bankruptcy proceedings. Frequently, the need to go to court over a business matter can be avoided if your lawyer is contacted early in the process to ensure that your contract is valid and enforceable.
Business Disputes
Education, University of Nebraska, B.A. 1968; Duquesne University, JD, 1974. Adjunct Professor of Business Law, Robert Morris University, 1982-2011. Instructor, Allegheny County Community College, 1981.

Workers Compensation

Personal Injury
Personal injury matters, such as auto accidents, malpractice, slip and fall, workers compensation and the like are usually handled on a no recovery - no fee basis, with the lawyer receiving a percentage of the money recovered from the defendant or insurance carrier.
Auto Accidents

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
In our estate planning services, we will work closely with your accountant and financial advisor to ensure that your children and grandchildren get your estate, not the tax collector. For information on simple wills and probate, see will and trust information.
Wills
Wills and trusts are at the core of every estate plan. Whether you have a large or small estate, a will is essential to ensure that your assets are distributed as you wish.
Trusts
You may also want to set up a trust. There are two basic types of trust, the living trust and the testamentary trust. Living trusts are often used to avoid probate, but they do not avoid any death taxes. Testamentary trusts (ones set up by your will) can be used to protect children and provide for their proper care and custody if both parents die.
