Up Close and PersonalPam began her Family Law practice as a third year law student at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law as a Certified Legal Intern for the Indigent Divorce Program where she learned not only about Family Law but also got her first courtroom experience. In the twenty-six years of practice that followed she has represented clients in the complete range of domestic relations and family law matters, including custody, divorce, marital property distribution, pre-nuptial agreements, and support. In addition, she has a diverse civil litigation practice which includes asbestos, dental malpractice, nursing home negligence, and other professional liability claims, as well as automobile, premises liability, products liability, employment, and bad faith. Pam has tried numerous jury trials to verdict in both state and federal court, and routinely handles both uninsured and underinsured motorists arbitration matters.
