Henry is an incredible lawyer; He will go above and beyond for his clients & truly cares about what is right. He is extremely knowledgeable and will take the time to explain details being upfront & honest, while taking into consideration your thoughts and concerns to find the best strategy and outcome. Henry is a tough negotiator and a natural in the courtroom. Our company would not be where it is today without him. I would not hesitate to contact Henry if we ever needed his expertise again & have full confidence in him. I highly recommend Henry and the Houston-Harbaugh Firm.

I have known Henry Sneath for over a decade and have worked with him as co-counsel on two lawsuits. He is a fantastic trial lawyer. If I have a case in the Pittsburgh or western Pennsylvania area, Henry is the first call I make in order to associate him as co-counsel. Working with Henry Sneath is a true pleasure.

Henry is a fantastic trial lawyer from start to end. Henry served as outside counsel for my company while I was Vice President and Associate General Counsel at Varian Medical Systems, in a very complex and difficult patent litigation in Pittsburgh, Pa. Henry was superb at initial case assessment and strategy, with a strong command of the facts and the law. Throughout the case, Henry’s intelligence and strong analytic and practical skills ensured we stayed on top of all strategic and procedural considerations. Henry is easy to work with – I could always have frank discussions of details and strategies. Even in very difficult discussions, I could count on Henry to listen to my input with complete confidence he’d always give me his honest assessment, such that we could always stay focused on the job at hand. Even with all the “sausage making” involved in a years-long IP litigation, Henry would never lose sight of the big picture. Henry is excellent at eliciting testimony and cross-examining witnesses. He has a natural questioning and argument style that goes over well with a jury. I wholeheartedly recommend Henry for IP and complex cases without reservation.

I hired Ryan, after I ran away from my abusive husband and was in fear of being killed by him. I never thought that love could go so wrong, but it did.
Ryan and his team, listened to my dilemma, held my hands and walked me through the immigration process, keeping me informed, answering my questions and directing me to get the necessary documents and help I needed. They never made me feel like a number, but empathized with me and diligently worked on my behalf.
They were professional, kind, knowledgeable and informative. They systematically walked me through the legal process, updating me every step of the way - never rude or arrogant, but always patient, understanding and caring. Ryan is indeed a first-class Attorney who knows how to get the job done.

I had the pleasure of working with Ellen and her team, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Their expertise, attention to detail, and proactive approach made the entire process seamless and stress-free.
What impressed me most was how efficiently they handled my case—my petition was approved much faster than expected. Ellen is not only incredibly knowledgeable about immigration law but also genuinely cares about their clients’ success.
If you’re looking for an immigration attorney who is professional, thorough, and delivers results, Ellen is the one to call!

Mr Gray is very pleasant. He listens to concerns completely & focused on the matter at hand with a plan to back it up. When I talked to him, he discussed different view points & tactics. He didn't sugar-coat things. He was straight forward & even recited different laws & statues as he went over possible scenarios. He made us feel much better because he thinks things through. He was punctual & actually early when meeting up. We are confident knowing we have someone who cares & knows the law.

Ryan represented me in a criminal case. He was very organized professional and overall pleasant to work with. He was able to get my sentence reduced beyond what I expected. It was clear that he had a good relationship with the right people at the court and I feel this likely factored into the favorable outcome. I would absolutely recommend anyone to Ryan and his colleagues in the future.

I hired Chas to handle a case for me after a previous attorney had screwed it up. Chas was willing to trust my view of things, without automatically siding with the previous attorney just because he was an attorney. He was also willing to let my husband handle filing all the documents, analyzing complicated estate accountings, preparing spreadsheets, and providing potential arguments to advance, which saved a ton of money on paralegal work. Chas was open with me, explained everything, and even allowed me to frequently argue with him (he claimed to enjoy it). He's a really nice guy and totally honest. The one thing I'd fault him for is that he isn't good at scheduling. Chas tends to let cases slide a bit till trial time (he loves trials), and then, since three trials had piled up consecutively, he was unable to spend enough time preparing for mine. However, he later hired an assistant and that seemed to help a lot.

Anthony was instrumental in resolving my incredibly high Allegheny County Property Reassessment. He is extremely knowledgeable about the Allegheny County property assessment appeals process, which made my life so much easier. My property had almost doubled in value and thanks to Anthony’s diligence and attention to detail, my property was revalued at a very reasonable number. He is a consummate professional and very service-oriented. You could not ask for a better attorney if you have a problem with property reassessments. He clearly went above and beyond in my case and I would highly recommend him.

Mr. Pocrass was the best decision I could have made when it came to my divorce. Having several businesses and school-aged children meant I thought it was going to be a difficult process, but Greg was alongside me every step of the way during a very emotional time for me, my kids, and my ex-husband. He worked closely with my ex-husband's attorney and was able to come to a fair and just outcome for all of us. Thank you, Attorney Pocrass. I could not have done it without you!

My divorce was starting to look much different than what I thought my ex-wife and I had amicably agreed upon. She hired a lawyer and never told me about it, then did a complete 180 on me and basically wanted everything but the shirt off my back. Because we have children, I wanted things to be as least messy as possible. During my time with Attorney Kunka, we came to discover that she actually had monthly income of which I was not aware, in addition to a trust that she had never mentioned before in our fourteen years together. Needless to say, Mr. Kunka impeccably argued my case and we came to a very fair agreement. Situations like these are not fun, so it was great to know Ellis had my back and answers to my questions from the time we began working together. For someone who is independently wealthy and stood to lose everything, Mr. Kunka saved me and my relationship with my kids. Thanks, Ellis!

I experienced a personal injury, at a business, resulting in hospitalization- surgery-physical therapy and loss of work. I had no clue as to my rights, if any. I was referred to attorney Craig Frischman. After the initial phone consultation, I was completely confident with his direction and guidance. He is the consummate professional and made me feel as if my little case was as important as a major one. He was in constant contact every step of the way, went above and beyond to assure me and direct me. Craig was very understanding, supportive, knowledgeable and had my best interests in mind. He resolved my case in a very short period of time and got the best outcomes I could have ever imagined. He was extremely fair in all financial situations. I could not have had a better attorney! He is truly all that is good when you need someone to help you through these traumatic experiences. I will always refer him to anyone needing these types of legal services. The BEST!

Hello!
My name is Clyde Manns. On may 5th 2023 I was in one of the worst accidents anyone would ever want to see. I was hit be a vehicle that ran the intersection. The impact of the vehicle colliding with me pushed me into on coming traffic on the other side of the road. I smashed into a barrier and pole and ultimately totaling my vehicle. Mr. Frischman went to work on my case right away. He kept me updated on everything that was going on in real time and a timely manner. He went above and beyond and I received a settlement that I wasn’t expecting. Needless to say I’m injury free now and very pleased with the work that he has done with getting the settlement for me. I highly recommend Mr. Frischman and Rizza for Attorney services that you may need.
Thank you again for all your help, support, and hard work.

Hi,
First I would like to say Sorry
That circumstances beyond your control bring you here…
Frischman & Rizza P.C is in my opinion the most caring and compassionate law firm.
They are the Best at what they do.
The situation that I was in with something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemies unfortunately, had me searching for answers and brought me to
Frischman & Rizza P.C
I didn’t think that I would get a good outcome by hiring this law firm because of my situation
Craig and Bernie and the people that work at Frischman & Rizza P.C they proved me wrong.
I didn’t think and couldn’t think of a good outcome of my situation but this law firm
knew exactly what to do and how to get things done.
You should hire Frischman & Rizza P.C
They will help you and be in your corner fighting for you every step of the way.
I can’t say enough nice things for all of the employees that work here,
Please take the time to give Craig and Bernie and there staff a call and let them help you.
May the Lord bless you at your time of need and I wish nothing but a great outcome for your situation ,
Best regards,
Mr. Wernecke,Sr

Christine, and her law firm, are great. I reached out to her from a state of confusion, stress, and frustration. I explained my employment law situation and was quickly put at relative ease. She took the time to understand the circumstances and describe how we could proceed, the plus and minus of thestrategy, the risks, and importantly the timeline and things I would likely experience. In short term, I felt confident in her ability to provide assistance and help me. Based on the very personable and responsive communications we had, I decided to hire her to take my case. Long story short, she used her deep expertise and skills to provide a degree of relief, much more than I would have expected on the day I first reached out to her and her firm. I'd recommend her to anybody who needs assistance, multiple times over. Again, thank you very much Christine.

Watching Christine practice law is like watching a fish practice swimming.
Christine is pleasant, personable, and awesome to deal with. She is attentive, analytical, and shrewd. I would not want to be the opposing counsel.
I tried calling two billboard firms, but no dice. I needed to talk with somebody who could pick up on the nuances of my case. Christine was that person.
I left a run-on voicemail at 4pm on a Friday, and received a call back within an hour.
We exchanged about 500 emails, and if I had to guess, I sent them at a ratio of 3:1, at all hours of day/night, often ranting and going off on tangents, but still communicating valuable information. Christine always got back to me.
I would recommend Christine to anyone.

I found Attorney Josh Goldberg on line. I was specifically looking for someone for my son that had experience in traffic tickets. He was able to get a speeding ticket moved to an equipment violation. What I liked in particular was all of the information that Attorney Goldberg shared prior to going to court. My son had all of the documents necessary to show he had a good driving record. We would haven't thought to have any of that for court. He even made sure to tell my son to dress up. His traffic violation wasn't a big deal but in the long run it could have had consequences for insurance rates going up and possibly effecting his employment regarding his CDL. I would highly recommend Attorney Goldberg. He communicated well and worked with my son directly.

The local township filed legal documents to secure a large portion of our families property through eminent domain for a sewage plant. We immediately contacted Flaherty Fardo Rogel & Amick, LLC for their help. Noah Fardo was on the case immediately. He met with us explaining the law concerning eminent domain in detail, what to expect and what would be needed to stop any actions to seize the property. Phone calls were returned promptly, the case was worked regularly and timely updates were provided by Noah and his team. The entire matter was extremely stressful to us but Noah was confident and reassuring the eminent domain process would be stopped. Noah had a detailed action plan in place. His attention to detail, hiring of experts, diligently working the case resulting in winning the case meant everything to our family. Not only did he win the case for our family, but he also secured a reimbursement of a large portion of our legal fees from the township. Noah Fardo is professional, understands the clients concerns and needs, diligent in moving the case to closure and compassionate in dealing with how this case traumatized my senior mother. Our family highly recommends Noah Fardo of the Flaherty Fardo Rogel & Amick, LLC firm for your legal needs. We are so pleased this matter is now behind us. Thanks to Noah and his team!

Attorney Lloyd Welling prepared Last Will & Testament, Durable Power of Attorney, and Living Will documents for me and my wife. Lloyd was courteous and professional. He took time to listen and answer all my questions. He understood my particular needs and did not try to sell me or convince me to buy a more expensive type of Estate Plan. I received my documents within a week after my consultation at a very reasonable price.
I highly recommend attorney Lloyd Welling for your Estate Planning needs!

I reached out to Renee to get a second opinion on the expungement for my DUI. I'm in the ARD program and she is helping to expedite the expungement process. The attorney that represented me during my DUI trial said there was nothing else I could do to get the DUI off of my record early. Renee is looking at different angles and moving forward with helping to resolve this matter. I also received two summary charges that do not look good on my record for future job opportunities. She is helping me to appeal these charges when two other attorneys told me there was nothing I could do.
Renee is very intelligent, aggressive and most importantly I could tell she cared about me and my stressful situation. That is very hard to find especially when one approaches an attorney for the first time. I highly recommend Renee for any legal issues.
