She's a Family Law "Rock Star".

I retained Ana Lisa Petrella this past September of 2018 to assist with my divorce. I considered her based on a strong recommendation from a friend in the legal field. I called her and she literally scheduled to meet me within 1 day. Once we talked in person; within the first 15 minutes it was quite apparent to me that Ana Lisa was like no other attorney. Her strategy, skills, compassion, and desire to truly help clearly explain why people rave about her on the internet. My case is about 1/3 of the way over and i have been so pleased with her i wish I could give her and the Firm a 10 - Star Rating. My children's future is in her hands, and i have nothing but complete trust. Simply put - She's a Family Law "Rock Star".

We respect her and appreciate everything she helped us.

Attorney Nicole Kairys helped me and a friend with a very personal issue in 2013. She listened, followed up professionally, and helped us deal with a situation that was not easy. For almost 6 years, Nicole was always there when we needed any questions answered. When our situation came to an end, Nicole showed up to a very private and personal moment to share in our grief. We respect her and appreciate everything she helped us with along the way.

I would highly recommend them for any family law matter.

Very knowledgeable and experienced attorneys. Family law is tough for the client and the attorney involved. Family law, divorce and custody, are full of volatile emotions. Nicole Kairys is compassionate about the law to help their clients achieve the best possible outcomes. They take time to learn about the families and situations involved. I was well prepared for all possible outcomes when I appeared in court with Nicole. They were direct, honest and experienced in what the resolutions may include which may not be what you want or expect. Their experience showed as a true advantage in my cases. Above all they were concerned for myself and my children's well being. I would highly recommend them for any family law matter.

Communication is timely, she's compassionate, and she's very professional.

Ana Lisa Petrella is representing me in my divorce. I was looking for someone who could work with the opposing attorney yet still be firm when needed. Ana Lisa is executing my wishes very well. She listens to me and understands what's important to me and works to get me the outcome that I see as success. I had done plenty of research prior to having a consultation with Ana Lisa, and I understood that no one is ever going to be completely happy with the outcome of a divorce. Ana Lisa lets me know where and when I have a chance of winning and should fight, and where I'll need to be more flexible. Her advice has been spot on, her communication is timely, she's compassionate, and she's very professional. I would recommend her to anyone in a similar situation.

I would recommend their services to anyone that has a need.

I retained their services and from Day 1 I was impressed by their professionalism, timely communication, and judicious use of time. There is always a concern that attorneys will have their best interest and monetary gains at heart. My experience was the complete opposite. They provided me with valuable advice and expertise to navigate my situation And garner a quick resolution that was beneficial for all parties. I will not use another law firm in Pittsburgh as I believe they provided better service than I could have received anywhere else. I would recommend their services to anyone that has a need. In fact, I have already recommended them to several family members and friends and each one of them has expressed their appreciation for helping them find a great partner in their time of need.

Very professional and in control when the opposing lawyer.

Glad I had Nicole Kairys as my divorce lawyer. Nicole was very thorough and thoughtful during this whole process. Nicole was very professional and in control when the opposing lawyer was hot headed and unprofessional. This was a very unpleasant time for me and I was comfortable knowing that Nicole had my back and my best interest.

I immediately felt such comfort!

I met Nicole Kairys through Second Saturday class to get an idea on what options i had since i was considering a divorce. I immediately felt such comfort with her then, I knew she was the one I wanted to represent me. She answered every question I had, followed up with thoughts and scenarios I never considered, and guided me along the way to protect myself financially, and always made sure I understood what was happening and what could happen. She also gave me “tough love” on ideas I had on a real estate matter I believed to be hopeless, and made it possible thanks to her own networking. My particular divorce was pretty straight forward so from my initial filing to my declaration of divorce, it was 6 months and relatively fast. I also got to see the correspondence she sent to my now ex-husband. She also took the time in explaining things clearly - so that even he had comfort in what was happening. Thank you Nicole, for guiding me along the scary, unknown path of divorce and financial protection.

Outstanding in working with our schedule, understanding the urgency. The BEST!

Nicole and her team updated our will and provided two powers of attorney's for us in a timely (rushed) situation prior to my wife and I traveled to Ireland. The staff was outstanding in working with our schedule, understanding the urgency, provided key questions and then pulled everything together so things weren't hanging over us while we traveled-the BEST!

I would certainly recommend Nicole.

Nicole assisted me with my kids custody, and fully represented me in the USA and handled my case, while I live abroad in the UAE. Despite the time difference between the continents Nicole always responded in extreme timely manner, and provided me with sound and clear information, told me what to expect each step of the way, always kept me informed on the progress and what the options and risks were during the proceedings. I felt well taken care of and I was confident the best interest of my children was always at the forefront of the case. Nicole is very knowledgeable, credible and competent person and attorney. Also, her calm and empathetic demeanor always offered emotional support to me and put me at ease. I have consulted with many attorneys in the past on the issue of the custody of my three kids, and all of them were doubtful of the favorable outcome due to the complexity of the case, but Nicole’s confidence and strong persona managed to comprise a very potent case with evidences and got the case resolved in my favor. She was always in tune with complex issues that kept arising throughout the process and worked relentlessly to obtain custody despite my ex’s endless efforts to obstruct. My children and I are eternally grateful for her service and I would certainly recommend Nicole and avail her services in the future with full trust in her representing me.
