Pittsburgh Family Law Attorneys
Lebovitz & Lebovitz, P.A. represents clients in divorce, custody, and support matters throughout Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania. We handle uncontested matters and contested litigation, including cases involving business ownership, investment real estate, retirement assets, and complex income.
Our focus is practical leverage and defensible outcomes. That means disciplined preparation for equitable distribution and support exposure at the outset, and courtroom ready case development when litigation is required.
Many matters include the division of businesses, investment real estate, retirement accounts, and other significant assets. In Pennsylvania these issues are addressed through equitable distribution, where the court determines how marital property should be divided between the parties. Where family law intersects with estate planning or real estate ownership, we coordinate across all three. See our estate planning and real estate practices for related matters.
