We Are Leaders in Family Law
I can vividly remember opening our law office immediately upon graduation from law school at Duquesne University, and passing the Pennsylvania bar. Not only did divorce and family law become our first series of files, it has remained the most proliferative source of legal problems over the years.
Many lawyers as they become successful post about “leaving domestic law behind” and no longer doing it because it is so volatile. Our office on the other hand, recognizes domestic law as a “calling”. Because we’re good at it. We believe we have a duty to keep on doing it, and help train other young professionals how to do it with heart, compassion, and diligence.
We have found clients in various factual backgrounds including without limit, the following small sample:
Many times the inferior of the couple is facing an emotionally charged, stressful, anxiety, and even dangerous day in and day out occupation of the same living space. We recognize that although a PFA protection from abuse action can be filed even after hours with the magistrate, it is only a temporary solution unless the attorney is skilled at winning the upcoming permanency hearing. Additionally, although many situations are emotionally charged, stressful, and laced with anxiety, they are not provable for danger and a PFA would not be a viable
option, and emergency motion for exclusive possession of the marital residence would solve the problem. We have found many professional applications lacking in taking actions that need to be taken quickly. People want the divorce to be over as quickly as possible. This has obvious savings advantages for both litigants. It is vitally important for the plaintiff to file a proper inventory at the same time, imposing upon the other side to file an inventory, and setting the stage for the fastest settlement or litigation settling hearing. Although there is generally no legal significance in the plaintiff or the defendant in a divorce action, in my experience I have found there is a huge, priceless litigation advantage in being the plaintiff. If the case doesn’t settle and ends up in a hearing, being the plaintiff is a very important tactical advantage in the order witnesses are called including without limit. Calling the opponent as on cross. The take away is that there are thousands of nuggets and nuances that come with
experience and a willingness to represent your client with diligence, work ethic and compassion.
