Ana Lisa Petrella

I hired Ana Lisa Petrella to do a SIMPLE custody agreement for me. She was non-responsive, never available, always had a reason why she didn't return my calls or e-mails and turned a simple task into a five month long saga. She charged me over SEVEN THOUSAND dollars for a pre-populated 5 page custo...dy agreement that my ex agreed to sign (no court hearing was involved for this fee). She was the most incompetent, inept, unprofessional attorney I've ever had to deal with. Never again.

As an attorney and businessman in an exceedingly technical field, I have had the good fortune to work with a great many seasoned and excellent attorneys. While representing me in a complex matter, Ana Lisa demonstrated the skill, intelligence, and temperament to become one of Pittsburgh's premier fa...mily-law practitioners. I give her my whole-hearted recommendation.

Ana Lisa was referred to me from a family friend and I could not have been more blessed. My divorce is finally in the final leg of the journey and she was able to work with and make progress with probably the worst attorney in Pittsburgh. Ana Lisa stays in constant communication with you and explains... every step of each process and I truly believe she does care about her clients. The mixture of her wisdom and her passion for justice make her a force to be reckoned with.

I had been separated for nearly 3 years working with a different attorney and getting NOWHERE in the progress of my divorce. I switched to Ana Lisa after a referral and I could not be more pleased with my results. She fought tooth and nail for everything she believed I deserved and would not let me s...ettle for anything less. Divorce is hard enough as it is. Having an attorney that you can trust is so very important during this time. Communication is a huge part of choosing the right counsel for your needs and I can tell you that Ana is an excellent communicator. She always responded to calls and emails typically within an hour or less and kept me up to date on all the progress she was making for me. Her honesty and professionalism was exactly what I needed on my side to my divorce quickly and drama free.
