For over 20 years, DeForest Koscelnik & Berardinelli has built a reputation as one of the hardest-working firms in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. With offices also in New York and Short Hills, our work goes far beyond Pittsburgh as clients nationwide seek our representation.

Our firm has a collaborative spirit. Our lawyers work together to efficiently and cost-effectively advise and defend clients in federal and state courts, as well as before administrative tribunals.

Our clients describe us as focused, diligent, and accessible. We measure our success in the value we add to every legal matter and the longevity and depth of our relationships with our clients.
