Divorce is never a fun event. But throw kids in the mix and it makes it harder. A friend introduced me to Ana Lisa and am so thankful he did. Ana Lisa was responsive, comprehensive in her approach and thought of things I did not even know existed. Every decision made was always with my kids in mind and she kept that in the forefront of every decision. I honestly do not think I could have gotten to this peace in my custody agreement. I could not recommend her enough and actually have done so with two more friends. Thank you, Ana Lisa! I hope because of all your hard work, I never have to use you again. But if I do, I know you will help me find the path best for me and my kids.

I have known Ana Lisa Petrella professionally for many years and cannot say enough good things about her. As a fellow attorney, I refer all divorce, custody, and family law matters to Ana Lisa. I know that when I refer a client to her, she will do a great job. She is experienced, skilled, knowledgeable, and responsive. She is the attorney you want in your corner when you find yourself in the midst of a family law matter.

I reached out to this practice to get help with interpreting a poorly written easement between my neighbor's property and mine. They were very prompt with their response and helped me understand the key takeaways from the document in a way that I was able to present it to my neighbor. This ultimately led to no further problems and staying out of court. I would definitely recommend them to anyone seeking legal help for a thorough and seamless job done.

Ms. Jessica Crown has my highest recommendation. She navigated both my divorce and custody cases with the utmost professionalism and genuine care and concern for the outcomes. She was responsive, attentive and continually acted on not only my best interest but the best interest of my children as well. She was a pleasure to work with and made handling difficult situations less stressful knowing she was there to support and guide my through the process.

Nicole Kairys was efficient, dedicated and punctual with all communication that we had with each other and the court. Her advice and guidance proved to be spot on, as we received a favorable decision from the Hearing Officer in my Asset Distribution trial.

Attorney Nicole Kairys is the absolute best family and divorce lawyer in Pittsburgh. She’s knowledgeable, thorough, and walks her clients through every step of the process. She is also no nonsense- she’ll tell you what you NEED to hear, not what you want to hear. And there’s nothing better than that in your attorney.

I have been working with Jessica Crown and Ana Lisa Petrella for 3yrs now. With any family situation- emotions are high and the stress of it all can be crushing. These two women are amazing!! They handle everything, including my non stop questions, and do it with empathy and compassion. I couldn’t imagine navigating this road with anyone else. Their knowledge and fierce attitudes are exactly what you want when going to court. I know no matter what battles lie ahead- there is no one else I could imagine having in my corner.

Nicole Kairys handled my divorce and the experience was beyond my expectations. She was extremely professional, caring, knowledge and supportive. She made sure I was totally satisfied with the agreement and outcome. Nicole was very responsive and took time to meet with me, speak on the phone, email, etc whenever I had questions or concerns during this very difficult and often stressful time. I highly recommend Nicole Kairys if you are looking for representation in seeking a divorce or for any family law matters.

Ana Lisa is the best! She took my case last minute. It's hard to find people with knowledge and common sense. Before I met her everyone was treating me like the "bad guy". She gave me a voice and stood up for me through my whole process. Definitely recommend her and her team. Paperwork and filing was smooth and easy.

I couldn’t ask for better representation.

GRB Law, Ana Lisa Petrella, I can only say she is amazing! As well as everyone on her team. My divorce was going nowhere for a year, a few other people have said to use GRB Law, they are the best. It was the absolute best decision I have ever made. Within 1 month of signing on with Ana Lisa, movement began and within a year my divorce was final. She stayed on top of things, when my ex was not doing things within the time frame allotted, she immediately acted. She kept me informed every single step of the way. Ana Lisa is also very personable, easy to talk to too and always had a solution to the obstacles my ex would put in front of me. There are not enough good things to say about GRB Law and Ana Lisa Petrella. She has also handled a real estate issue for me. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, a fighter, I highly recommend Ana Lisa Petrella, or anyone else in GRB Law.

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".

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

I felt comfortable with Attorney Kairys knowing that she was looking out for my family's best interest. She maintained professionalism throughout all my proceedings and helped me throughout all my issues. Divorce is an awful thing to have to go through but it is nice to have someone that cares on your side.

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!

My daughter along with her two very young children were in a very abusive relationship and in need of direction. Without hesitation, I recommended she contact Attorney Nicole Kairys.

My daughter and I appreciate the work she is doing with her case and will continue to recommend Attorney Kairys to anyone in need of the absolute best representation in the area of family law.

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.
