Heather Schmidt Bresnahan

I had retained Heather in 2003 while going through a tough Divorce. It was a very difficult time and that's when I realized just how much she fought for me and my young son. Her tenacity and work ethic is top notch! Twenty years later, my ex-husband had me back in court and without hesitation, ... I immediately contacted Heather's firm, and she took on my case, yet again. She fights for you, and fights hard. She has done so much for me during the tough times of divorce battles, etc.. It's alot to go through legal situations, as it is, but when you find the lawyer that will fight for you, that's everything! Ty! Heather!

I did my homework before I hired Heather's firm. She went to law school with a couple friends of mine and they raved about her intelligence, ethics, and ability to work with everyone. She is well respected in court by judges, fellow attorneys, and literally everyone in the courthouse. I didn't realiz...e how important that was until it was contrasted by my ex's attorney who didn't seem as well liked. You need every advantage you can get, and Heather had the relationships to get things done. She's regarded as the best divorce attorney in Pittsburgh for many reasons. I can tell you my divorce was a difficult one that lasted a few years and involved child custody, properties, investments, QDROs, etc. Heather got me out of paying alimony, and I was awarded half of my ex's pension and rental properties. She is a master negotiator and fights for the best outcome for her clients while protecting the children involved. I have recommended her to everyone I know dealing with custody issues and divorces.

How can I begin to express my gratitude to the woman who saved my children and I? Heather is brilliant and a true fighter, but I think the best part is that she genuinely cares, most importantly, about the children involved. She will do everything to protect and defend children. She took a terrible d...ivorce and custody situation that other attorneys told me was hopeless and she defended my little family until we got the best result for my children. Every time I celebrate a holiday and my babies are there with me, healthy and thriving I thank God for getting me in contact with Heather. She is not intimidated by bully ex-spouses or their aggressive attorneys. Even when my ex and his attorney were unethical, Heather said it was important to remain “above board.” This was difficult for me when my ex was trying to taint me in the eyes of the legal system, but ultimately, Heather was right. It’s also the little things, like when I was testifying at the custody hearing and was extremely nervous, Heather smiled and winked at me throughout my time on the stand to let me know I was doing well. That seemingly simple gesture allowed me to get through a very challenging process. If you want the best, most compassionate and brilliant legal mind, definitely call Heather. I will forever be grateful for her!

I hired this firm for a divorce matter. They went above and beyond my expectations! Dana Turk provided me with realistic advice as soon as I requested it. She was very thorough in explaining how the process would occur and was very considerate of my requests to the best that the law allows. My time t...hat was spent consulting with Dana was very productive and efficient. My divorce was moved along as quickly as possible. I felt that the firm was very fair in their billing for legal services also. I would without a doubt recommend this firm to anyone going through a divorce.

Heather Scmidt is the absolute most amazing attorney I have ever hired. She has been my attorney since 2014 and she has gone above and beyond for the demands that I needed when it came to custody of my son. I would recommend her to everyone that I know. She will fight for the right of you and your fa...mily. She has gotten my child back for me twice and once was an emergency. She answers your calls and gets results immediately. If you are having trouble with custody, Heather is the one to call.
