When Times are Tough,
Pittsburgh Family Lawyers You Can Depend On
Facing divorce or another family law issue is tough. Does this sound like you? You're frustrated, angry or confused. You face the uncertain prospect of what the future holds for your relationship with your children. You wonder how this will affect you financially. You're concerned about the talk that will take place about you around the water cooler at work or among your circle of friends and family.
Add to these feelings the anger you may feel toward your spouse or the other parent. The bitterness that replaced the once unconditional love that existed. The feeling of betrayal that now stays with you from the time you wake up in the morning until the time you go to bed at night. This confusion, anger and frustration can lead to poor decision-making during a time when every decision can have a huge impact on your future and the future of your relationship with your children. You are not alone if you have experienced these feelings or if you want to protect yourself from these experiences.
The end of a personal relationship can be the start of traumatic emotions, financial changes and the legal process. As a former judicial law clerk for the Family Division of the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas, a litigant in her own prior divorce proceeding, and a child who witnessed her parents' divorce, Attorney Lisa Marie Vari understands the legal as well as the emotional and financial implications of a PA family law court case. She has more than 20 years of experience in the Pennsylvania family law area, her firm has represented over 1500 family law clients, she has personally tried over 500 contested PA family court issues (and settled many more than that) and she knows the legal strategies that can help you.
If one of the associate attorneys will be providing representation to a client, the client can rest assured that they will be provided with excellent legal services. Attorney Jamie Spero has a degree in accounting in addition to her law degree that greatly assists in handling complex support and equitable distribution cases. Jamie has been named a "Rising Star" in Pennsylvania family law by the Pennsylvania Lawyer magazine, an honor given to a very select few of all Pennsylvania associate attorneys. Attorney Jill Schiffman-Rosenthal has a graduate degree in psychology in addition to her law degree and utilizes her formal training to assist our PA family law clients with their Pennsylvania child custody cases and related issues. Attorney Andrea Passantino has significant experience representing victims and the alleged perpetrators of domestic violence and spousal abuse in Protection from Abuse (PFA) cases due to her prior position with the Women's Center and Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh. Andrea also assists our clients with interstate, international, step-parent and grandparent adoption issues.
