Anne Marie Mancuso
About Anne
Biography
My name is Anne Marie Mancuso and I have dedicated my legal career to the vital missions abundant in criminal defense work, having successfully litigated hundreds of criminal matters. I have handled a wide spectrum of crimes, from the least severe in nature to the most violent of felonies.
I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Pittsburgh, and earned my Juris Doctorate from Ohio Northern University, Pettit College of Law where I received Certificates of Outstanding Achievement in Criminal Law and Civil Litigation.
Prior to joining Difenderfer, Rothman & Haber, P.C., I worked at the Allegheny County Office of Conflict Counsel advocating for the rights of indigent Pennsylvania residents and protecting the civil liberties of those criminally accused. I have defended against thousands of criminal prosecutions, having tried countless non-jury and jury trials to verdict.

The best Lawyer out there
Anne was hired to defend both of my sons on separate cases and let me tell you, she did just that. My boys are grown but she still included me as much as she could with their permission, she is very clear in what’s going on and what she is doing. I highly recommend her x1000!!!

Made the best of a bad situation.
Anne was helping me with a minor accident in which it seemed I was getting shafted by everyone involved (and boy was I). She listened to our side of the story and she worked to resolve it. She knows the judges, the DAs and normally knows what to expect. Plan on using her services again for other l...

Anne Marie Mancuso's Lawyer Endorsements
"I was fortunate to work alongside Anne Marie for approximately 2 years. She has an outstanding reputation and is making a name for herself as one of the best trial attorney's in Pittsburgh!"
"I endorse Attorney Anne Marie Mancuso - a well respected criminal defense attorney in the community. With countless hours spent inside the courtroom, I recommend Ms. Makcuso for all types of criminal matters."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Mancuso is an aggressive trial attorney. A rising star in the Pittsburgh legal community."
"I highly endorse this lawyer. Anne is an outstanding advocate and one of the select, few criminal defense attorneys who has taken cases to trial and won verdicts for her clients."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Anne Marie is a very smart lawyer who has quickly gained a very positive reputation in Pittsburgh criminal defense. She has great experience in complex and multi-defendant criminal matters."
"Just a few months ago, Ms. Mancuso had a case that no matter who she talked to, she was told the same thing: "he did what?! get your client the best deal you can, nobody could win with those facts." So what did she do with that advice? She ignored it. And after a week-long jury, the foreperson stood up and said "not guilty" 27 times. Anne's the type of attorney that will fight for you no matter how grim things might look. She'll be the only one in your corner and you'll be glad she's there. It's like she has the Rocky theme song playing in an endless loop in her head. If you want the best, you can't go wrong with Anne."
