A VERY thorough careful lawyer - highly recommeded

Mr. Alberts handled my will and my future husband's will before we married 6 months ago. We are "seasoned" and both have children from a previous marriage, as well as our own assets we brought to the marriage. Mr Alberts was extremely meticulous , talking us through the various options and ramifi...cations. His price was very reasonable given the amount of time he spent making sure we understood. When we were done we felt very confident that we had made the right decisions for ourselves, each other, and our 5 (collective) children.

The best Pittsburgh attorney for overemotional clients!

Finding a lawyer who is more interested in the victim's well-being than in dotting the i's and crossing the t's makes Michael worth more than a hundred Laurence Darrow's. He see's the whole picture, neglecting nothing; most particularly not the anguish and sorrow of his clients, who turn to him when... there is nobody else willing to lend a hand. Michael's good work helps the least capable, most vulnerable members of society who have reached the proverbial end of their rope, when little remains worth living for. With sincerest appreciation for all he does, JMG

Great Attorney

Mr. Alberts has been my Attorney for the last 1 1/2 years. He is very professional, knowledgeable and a very compasionate attorney. He works very hard for you and treats your case as if it was the only case he has to deal with (and believe me that's not a fact!) I am very happy that I was refered t...o Mr. Alberts and went with this referal.

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.
