Very Satisfied

Abigail is up front about everything, and truly understands the non-profit sector here in Pittsburgh. Not only is she a great resource to get my charity up and running, she has (and shares) other organizations/resources to help me be successful. Quick to respond to communications, friendly, and under...stands that the non-profit groups operate under a strict budget. I am very happy with what she has provided thus far, and look forward to a longstanding professional relationship with her on my side.

Abigail is amazing!

Abigail has been assisting our local chapter of the Young Nonprofit Professionals Network with various legal tasks, such as revising our by-laws and finishing our filing tasks with the IRS and state of PA so we can officially fundraise as a group. She's been extremely helpful and patient with us, ex...plaining things to us and handling everything in a highly professional manner.

Abigail was terrific!

I used Abigail Salisbury's services this past year, and I would highly recommend her to others. She was knowledgeable, responsive, professional, and compassionate. She explained everything in a manner that i, as a non legal professional, could understand. She was able to guide me to the optimal ou...tcome.

5 stars for Salisbury Legal

I used Salisbury Legal to incorporate one of my small businesses, and they were incredibly professional, prompt, and knowledgeable about the law. Abigail in particular was very communicative, and when there was an issue with the state using the wrong address, she resolved it quickly. I had such a pos...itive experience, I referred Salisbury Legal to my father and my social media manager.

"Abigail Salisbury is an extremely competent and capable attorney working in the area of non-profit law. I would recommend her to any client looking for advice in not only starting a non-profit, but also in managing their non-profit, growing their non-profit, and keeping current with the best practices and regulations that govern non-profits. I especially encourage anyone thinking about opening a non-profit to contact Abigail early in the process for her excellent advice."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
