I can't say enough about the quality of the service from Quatrini and Erika Dowd. Her staff and especially Shayla did such a great job and helped me immeasurably through the disability process. Lifesaving! Thank you so much.

Earlier I had reached out to multiple popular attorneys for help but all billed big fees with no resolution. It was very frustrating on top of ongoing dispute.
I am glad I came across Brian!!
The assistance I got from Brian helped me not only resolve the dispute in LLC partnership but also regain my confidence.
Brian is approachable, supporting, knowledgeable and most important he provides the needed attention to help resolve the tough dispute. He is very thoughtful, patient, available, respectful and stays on top of the case. He goes above and beyond to provide the justice.
His help is greatly appreciated forever!!

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.

His work ethic and knowledge never ceased to impress me. My entire time working with him I always felt that he had my best interest at the forefront of his mind and continued working up till the last minute. I know he spent many nights late in his office working diligently.
I was never out of the loop and he always communicated with me all necessary information. He was able to break down in laymen’s terms the often confusing legal wording so that I was able to understand. He has a good court room presence and is able to think on the fly. He is well organized and was ready to have any information he needed in a moment’s notice. I was informed of all my legal rights and different options that I would be able to pursue, as in depth as I ask for. I never felt that I wasn’t going to get anything shy of his best no matter what decision I made. I had the confidence in his knowledge and ability to give him a lot of control in the case and ultimately my case went in my favor.
Having him on my side helped ease my nerves and kept me relatively low stress due my confidence in his ability. I was always able to talk with him whenever I need it and it greatly helped over the long legal process.
Without Capt. McCormick on my team my whole life could have changed, and I feel because of him I’m able to move on and continue living my life.

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.

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.

Simply put, "thank you" is not enough for how amazing Bev and her Team were to work with. My husband and I endured a year of hell during a home renovation project due to an unreliable, unprofessional and down right awful local contractor. Bev came highly recommended from a high school friend of mine and I made the call as soon as I could. Highly professional, responsive, honest, detailed, caring and truly genuine are just a few words to describe Bev and her Team at Block Associates. We couldn't have been happier with the results of Bev's hard work with our case. Highly recommend and definitely one of the best firms in Pittsburgh. <3

I hired Tulley Law firm due to some personal injuries
that I sustained in a car accident, it was the best decision to have made.
I was represented better than I could have ever imagined . My needs were put first and was treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. Michael fought hard for me. He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better law firm. Thank you Mike!
By far this has to be the best car accident attorney. This firm helped me through a very challenging case they were extremely professional and very aggressive. I wouldn't hire anyone else. If you want a great injury law attorney, hire this firm as your injury attorney.
Tulley Law is a tightly woven network of highly professional attorneys and staff professionals who walked me through a year-long process, reassuring me every step of the way.
I knew Michael Tulley was the right attorney for me the moment I met him and I appreciated him keeping me in the loop about filed papers and every little step that needed to be handled to move my case forward to absolute success.
You are in good hands with Tulley Law

Bernie represented my son in a case 7 years ago that had a satisfactory conclusion. With the decision of the courts it lead him to the sobriety he enjoys now. Recently he was attempting to rent an apartment in another state and he was turned down because records showed he had a felony. This was incorrect so we contacted Bernie for advice. He and his staff instantly acted on this on our behalf. They looked up his case, judges ruling, PA law, composed and forwarded a letter to him and the rental agency, and personally called them. WOW all this in a matter of hours and really shocked us was he didn't charge a fee. He was happy our son was on the right track and enjoying a life free from his demons of the past and soon to be a father. Who said lawyers are just ambulance chaser, Bernie and his staff prove them wrong. What a good guy and a great lawyer.

Matt defended me on a relatively minor charge that had major repercussions for me if I lost. Matt listened to me and my concerns, he answered all of my questions so that I understood everything that was going on, he was thorough with his preparation, he presented a cogent argument and ultimately defeated a DA and witness that were EXTREMELY intent on winning at any cost. I felt that he was truly invested in my wellbeing as well as seeking truth and justice. I highly recommend Matt to anyone seeking an experienced trial attorney.

Julia Gitelman is an outstanding lawyer and a fierce advocate, who will fight for you in order to sort through and resolve complicated criminal allegations made against you. When you face bewildering criminal accusations and confusing legal jargon, Julia Gilelman can be counted on to know the law and skillfully untangle and defeat the claims being made against you. She is bright, clear-eyed, personable and down to earth . In my case, she professionally engaged the opposition in and out of court without alienating them, holding the state and the judge accountable without appearing wrongly contentious. In court, she is prepared, tenacious, confident, able to think strategically on her feet while fighting off the opposition as she relentlessly advances her case. Best of all, she is a good person with a big heart, compassionate, extraordinarily hardworking and attentive to her clients, willing at any time of the day to answer a client ‘s calls. If you need a lawyer like I did, I can recommend her with enthusiasm and without any reservations. She is a credit to her profession and even a better person to be on your side in trouble and to call a friend.

I can quite literally say, in all honesty, she saved my life.

I was referred to Mike by another attorney for the mishandling of my brokerage account. Mike was amazing, start to finish, explaining everything is laymen's terms. He was professional, extremely knowledgeable and kind. He prepared me for the trial expertly, reassuring me each and everyday. His calm demeanor, but effective arbitration during the trial proved a very successful outcome. I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone in similar circumstances. He absolutely is the best!

I contacted Michael J. Betts because I saw the the positive reviews written about him. He gave me a consultation to see if his firm was the right fit for my case. Because of the particulars of my situation, we were not a good fit but Michael referred me to another lawyer in a different part of PA where I needed representation.
I highly recommend Michael J. Betts because he went above and beyond to help me despite not representing me in court. Michael J. Betts cares about people who seek his help.

Having never sought legal advice before, there were a number of uncertainties I had about the process. However, Patrick was not only precise with his legal counsel, but also careful and thorough in his approach communicating to me the steps needed to swiftly resolve my case. The personal care that he demonstrated was equally as impressive as the outcome he delivered. I will certainly continue seeking all future legal guidance through Patrick based upon this initial result.

Patrick handled a nursing home abuse case for our family. He was consistently respectful, sensitive , caring and efficient throughout this entire process. Anytime I phoned or emailed with a question, it was never more than 12hours before he got back to me. Usually he responded within one hour. I'm sure ours was not Patrick's largest or most important case, but he made us feel that it was. I always felt confident that Patrick was doing whatever was in our family's best interest. We don't quite have everything wrapped up yet, but he has assured us that the resolution will be soon.

Mr Wymard was reasonably priced and a straight shooter. He evaluated my criminal case and based on his experience both as a prosecutor and defense attorney he was able to tell me exactly how things would play out. His confidence put me at ease and the case resolved just as he said it would. I would highly recommend Mr. Wymard if you have any criminal issues.

I reached out to Mr Wymard shortly after getting into trouble with a friend. Mr Wymard assured me that while the charges were "trumped up," there was still some risk to the case against me. After reviewing all of the facts and speaking to several witnessed, I was assured that we would have good chances in a trial. While I was still nervous about the situation and the impact it could have on my life, Mr Wymard's confidence made me feel better about the imminent proceedings. To my surprise, my attorney had been working in the background to have the case thrown out, and he did!
While this was certainly one of the scarier times in my life, I now look back at it as a learning experience, and nothing more. Thanks Francis!

Matt helped us get a valuable asset that belonged to my family from someone who claimed that he purchased it. When he had the defendant in the stand not only did Matt expose him for the fraud he was but there was no doubt in anyone's mind especially the judge's that the defendant was less than honest.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I hired Atty. Gordon to help me re-negotiate my divorce case. I came to him with an existing divorce agreement that was settled without representation. Needless to say he had his work cut out for him. He did a wonderful job of explaining where the issues were and where we had room to negotiate. I felt very comfortable with his advice every step of the way. Divorce is a very stressful time in anyone's life and having someone like Atty. Gordon to calmly guide you along the way is priceless. I feel that he could've gouged me with excessive charges but he remained fair throughout the entire process.

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.

What a Litigation Lawyer Can Do for You
A litigation lawyer specializes in representing individuals, businesses, or organizations involved in legal disputes. Whether you're the one filing a lawsuit or you're being sued, a litigation attorney will advocate on your behalf throughout the entire legal process. Their goal is to resolve disputes, either through negotiation, settlement, or trial. Litigation lawyers can help with a wide range of disputes, including contract disagreements, real estate issues, employment disputes, personal injury claims, and more.
Litigation lawyers provide strategic legal advice and manage all aspects of your case, from filing motions to representing you in court, ensuring that your rights are protected and that you have the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome.
When Should I Hire a Litigation Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a litigation lawyer if you're involved in a legal dispute that you cannot resolve on your own. Common situations include:
- Breach of contract disputes: If a party to a contract fails to fulfill their obligations, a litigation lawyer can help you seek damages or enforce the agreement.
- Business disputes: Litigation lawyers can represent you in cases of partnership disagreements, intellectual property disputes, or business fraud.
- Employment disputes: If you're facing issues like wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, or wage disputes, a litigation lawyer can help resolve these matters through negotiation or court action.
- Personal injury claims: If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence and are seeking compensation, a litigation attorney can help you pursue your case.
- Real estate or property disputes: When there are conflicts over property ownership, boundary issues, or lease agreements, a litigation lawyer can assist in resolving the dispute.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is beneficial, especially if a lawsuit seems imminent or you have already been served with legal documents.
What Does a Litigation Lawyer Do?
A litigation lawyer handles all aspects of your case, from the initial investigation to the trial and even the appeals process, if necessary. Their role includes:
- Case assessment and investigation: Analyzing the facts of your case and advising whether it’s worth pursuing or defending.
- Pleadings and motions: Drafting and filing documents to initiate or respond to a lawsuit, including complaints, motions to dismiss, and answers.
- Discovery: Gathering evidence, including depositions, interrogatories, and document requests, to build your case.
- Negotiations and settlement discussions: Attempting to resolve disputes through mediation, arbitration, or settlement talks before going to trial.
- Trial representation: Presenting your case in court, examining witnesses, introducing evidence, and making legal arguments before a judge or jury.
- Appeals: If necessary, filing appeals to challenge or defend the outcome of the trial.
Litigation lawyers are also skilled negotiators and often work to resolve disputes outside of court to save time, money, and stress for their clients.
How Are Litigation Lawyers Paid?
Litigation lawyers typically use a variety of fee structures depending on the type of case, the complexity of the legal matter, and the financial circumstances of the client. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Many litigation attorneys charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and geographic location.
- Flat fees: For specific, predictable legal tasks (such as filing a motion), lawyers may offer a flat fee.
- Contingency fees: In personal injury or other cases where you seek damages, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, taking a percentage of the settlement or award if you win.
- Retainer: Some clients pay a retainer fee upfront to secure ongoing legal services. The lawyer then bills against this retainer as work is done.
The exact structure should be discussed in the initial consultation to ensure you understand how and when you'll be charged.
How Much Does a Litigation Lawyer Cost?
The cost of a litigation lawyer varies significantly depending on the nature of the dispute and the lawyer’s experience. Factors affecting the cost include:
- The complexity of the case: More complex litigation involving extensive discovery, expert witnesses, or multi-party suits typically costs more.
- Time spent: Litigation cases can be time-consuming, especially if they go to trial. The longer the case, the higher the legal fees.
- Type of fee arrangement: Hourly rates can range from $200 to over $1,000 per hour, depending on the lawyer’s reputation and location. Contingency fees generally range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award.
- Stage of litigation: Cases that settle early in the process are often less expensive than those that proceed to trial or appeal.
It’s crucial to ask about cost estimates during your initial consultation to avoid surprises.
Top Questions to Ask a Litigation Lawyer
Before hiring a litigation lawyer, it's essential to ask key questions to ensure you're choosing the right representation:
-
What is your experience with cases like mine?
Ensure that the lawyer has experience handling your specific type of dispute, whether it's a contract issue, personal injury, or business matter. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your case's strengths, weaknesses, and the likelihood of success. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify how you'll be charged, whether by the hour, a flat fee, or on a contingency basis. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it's hard to predict, an experienced lawyer can give you a rough estimate based on similar cases. -
How often do you settle cases versus going to trial?
Some lawyers are more inclined to settle, while others may be more experienced in the courtroom. It’s important to understand their strategy. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Some lawyers prefer aggressive litigation, while others focus on settlement or mediation. Choose one whose approach aligns with your goals.
How to Check the Credibility of a Litigation Lawyer
To verify a litigation lawyer’s credibility, consider the following steps:
- Check bar association records: Ensure the lawyer is in good standing with the state bar and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online reviews can provide insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and track record.
- Look for litigation experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they have handled cases like yours and have a record of success.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer to provide references from past clients who can speak to their effectiveness and approach.
- Research their trial experience: If your case is likely to go to trial, ensure the lawyer has a history of courtroom success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make your first consultation with a litigation lawyer productive, you should prepare the following:
- A clear outline of the dispute: Provide a timeline and key details about the legal issue you're facing.
- Any relevant documents: Bring contracts, emails, letters, or any other documentation that pertains to the case.
- A list of key players: Provide the names of individuals or companies involved in the dispute.
- Questions about fees and the litigation process: Make sure you understand how the lawyer plans to approach your case and how you will be charged.
- Your goals and expectations: Be clear about what outcome you're hoping for, whether it's a settlement, compensation, or another resolution.
By coming prepared, you can ensure that your initial meeting with the lawyer is both efficient and insightful, giving you a better sense of how to proceed with your case.
