Todd Adam Spivak

I was served with a PFA which was motivated by revenge and based on pure lies. I am a law abiding citizen and never had to deal with police and courts, so I was pretty scared once I realized what could happen if the PFA became final. I checked on Internet to see if I could find a lawyer who could... represent me in this case. Spivak Law Firm in Pittsburgh stood out from the others because it was clear that Mr. Spivak had a lot of experience in defending wrongfully accused people like myself. From the first moment I talked to Mr. Spivak, he instilled confidence in me and my family that everything would be OK and that the case could most likely be settled out of court with the PFA ultimately expunged and removed from the docket. Mr. Spivak listened carefully to my explanation of the situation. He was very patient and professional listening to all the details of the case. He then asked some questions and explained to me and my family that we had a very good chance to win in court should it come to that, but that he would most likely be able to settle it out of court. It took several days before Mr. Spivak was able to contact the plaintiff's lawyer and settle the case. During the entire process, Mr. Spivak kept us informed whenever there was an update in the case. We were very happy with the outcome since the prospect of a temporary PFA becoming final scared us the most. During my interaction with Mr. Spivak, I have immediately realized that he is an expert in every aspect of the family law. He explained to me and my family the details and the implications of a temporary PFA becoming final. He answered all our questions precisely and with a lot of patience. He was available for any questions we had during the entire ordeal. His calm and assuring demeanor gave us confidence that everything would be alright, as it did in the end. I highly recommend Mr. Spivak to anybody served with a PFA. If he cannot help, I don't know who can.

Our family hired Attorney Spivak when our daughter's life became a legal train wreck. The expanse of topics on Family Law and Criminal Law on Attorney Spivak's website (written by him) provided our family with the information that we needed to make an informed decision in hiring an attorney. Listenin...g to our case and the criminal charge brought against our daughter (in our meeting with him), Attorney Spivak explained the charge and the possible consequences. The situation appeared bleak to us but Attorney Spivak was always available via phone or email. He responds promptly. The integrity of his character always provided us with a compassionate ear as well as the reality of the charge brought against our daughter. He phoned my daughter the day before she moved from the household that created the problem, reinforcing that my daughter was not alone in her legal battle. Attorney Spivak is fully aware of the difficult situations his clients are go through and he is there to support them. The day of the Magistrate's hearing was the scariest day of our lives. As our daughter was offered a lesser charge, Attorney Spivak's sense of justice was evident in that his judicial conviction was that our daughter should not only have a good outcome, but that she should have the best outcome. Most importantly, Attorney Spivak presented the choice to our daughter so that she could factor the effect of the offer into her life. However, Attorney's Spivak's commitment to justice is not merely in his law degree but also his deep conviction of what justice is for the individual within the context of the situation. Attorney Spivak further argued for a dismissal of the charge which he won. The ability for the DA to accept Spivak's argument reflects the respect that the DA's office has his practice of the law. Attorney Spivak not only demonstrates his expertise in his practice of law but also his genuine conviction in working diligently and compassionately for justice for his clients. Our family was vey fortunate because we think we had the Best Lawyer that we could have. Judicial expertise, integrity, and compassionate understanding make Attorney Todd Spivak the "Must Have Lawyer."

I need to commend Spivak Law Firm for their representation of us. Our case was an extremely rare one, even in their eyes. The situation really didn't look to be in our favor on the surface. But Todd Spivak & Rebecca Canterbury worked really hard for us. They continuously met with us & explained to us..., in detail, all steps in the process & prepared us for any possible set-backs. This was a really difficult case for them and a trying time for us. In the end, their hard work paid-off. They succeeded beyond our hopes. I would highly recommend Spivak Law Firm to anyone needing highly skilled and professional counsel, particularly in such delicate matters as ours.
