About Guido

I’m a Western Pennsylvania native and have lived in the City of Pittsburgh for more than 20 years. I care deeply about our neighbors and our community.

I started my own practice to continue helping clients navigate the complex legal system, seek the justice that they deserve. My main focus is to help people, and do it in a way that makes them feel comfortable, secure, and informed. I want all of my clients to feel like an individual and never like they are “just a number”.

WHY WORK
WITH ME?

01.

02.

03.

I have worked as a plaintiff’s lawyer for more than a decade and handled all aspects of a case, from investigation through trial. Previously, I was a partner at a prominent personal injury firm located in downtown Pittsburgh. 

I have successfully represented hundreds of clients and resolved many cases in excess of $1 million. 

I search for new and better ways to improve my practice and my client’s outcomes. I don’t like doing things “just because it’s the way they’ve always been done.”

04.

05.

I routinely consult with other attorneys, firms, medical professionals, and experts to formulate strong case theories and present evidence in the best light possible. 

I started my own private practice to continue helping clients navigate the complex legal system, seek the justice that they deserve, and do so in a way where no one I represent ever feels like they are just a “number.”

FAQs

How Much Will A Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
Victims of accidents have enough to worry about after an injury. With medical bills, lost wages, and bills continuing to become due, how can they be expected to pay an attorney a high hourly rate? That’s why I offer a FREE evaluation of your case and will be transparent about the costs and expected outcomes. If I take on your personal injury case, I’ll front the expenses, and do the work, and not expect anything in return until there is a recovery made on your behalf.
Why Do I Need An Attorney?
Taking on a legal case is no easy feat, especially while picking up the pieces after a life-altering accident. Personal injury cases often involve a complex process of making legal claims, filling out the appropriate paperwork, working with insurance companies (and their lawyers), and meeting important deadlines. I am an expert with over 10 years of experience helping individuals to reclaim the compensation they are owed. Your job is to heal. My job is to recover compensation and ease the financial, emotional, and physical burden caused by your injury.
