Divorce and Estate Planning Law Firm Built for Complex Cases
Kenneth J . Horoho , Jr . Charles J . Avalli
In Pennsylvania , nearly one out of every two marriages ends in divorce . And when small businesses , significant family assets , child custody issues , or other complications become part of a divorce , the skills of experienced lawyers can make an enormous difference in the outcome for one or both spouses . “ Divorce is hard on anyone ,” says family law attorney Ken Horoho , “ but business owners , executives , and people with a high net worth have so much at stake in a divorce that it really does require experience and expertise to help them achieve a successful outcome .”
Horoho should know . His firm , Gentile , Horoho & Avalli , P . C . ( GHA ), is one of western Pennsylvania ’ s leading family law and estate planning and litigation firms . The firm ’ s clients include business owners , homemakers , sports figures , business leaders and other professionals . GHA is particularly well-known for its experience in contentious , high net worth divorces and custody battles as well as complex estate and trust litigation cases .
GHA ’ s history is deeply rooted in Pennsylvania family law . Several of the firm ’ s attorneys were instrumental in developing the Pennsylvania Divorce Code and helped to draft the latest amendments to the code . In addition , the firm ’ s estate / trust attorneys assisted in redrafting the new Orphans ’ Court Rules that were adopted just last year .
Many GHA attorneys have been recognized in “ The Best Lawyers in America ” by Woodward-White and have been named as Pennsylvania Super Lawyers . The firm is also regularly named
as one of the “ Best Law Firms in Pennsylvania ” by U . S . News & World Report and it holds the highest ranking of a law firm by Martindale-Hubbell .
GHA ’ s legal team includes attorneys with experience in tax , accounting , estate , trust and business , which enables them to assist clients with complex financial issues in family law and estate matters .
“ Divorce involves much more than the two spouses ,” says firm member Charles J . Avalli . “ It touches everything in the extended family … the children , grandparents , bank accounts , businesses , investments , homes and literally every asset in that family . That ’ s why it ’ s important for our firm to have experience in each of those areas .”
For example , GHA lawyers have specific expertise in such areas of the law as estate planning and litigation , grandparents ’ rights , division of assets , mediation and collaborative divorce , child custody and others .
“ The real world consists of complex relationships , two-income families , and more high net worth individuals than at any time in our history ,” says Horoho . “ Guiding families through a divorce in that kind of environment requires 21st century legal skills , and that ’ s what our firm is built for .”
