Allegheny County PFA Attorneys
Dealing With The Stress Of A PFA
If you’ve been served with a Protection From Abuse (PFA) order, you are likely under serious stress.
The PFA was hand-delivered to you by a police officer at your home or place of employment. You may be temporarily evicted from your house and restricted from having any contact with your children.
At Spivak Law Firm, we aim to be accessible to people who are accused of domestic abuse. People are often surprised when we pick up our phones late at night or on weekends to speak with them.
We aim to get the PFA dismissed and protect your rights and reputation.
Spivak Law Firm routinely handles PFA hearings in Pittsburgh and all surrounding counties, including: Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Crawford, Fayette, Indiana, Lawrence, Mercer, Washington and Westmoreland.

Domestic Violence and Immigration
Under expanded federal immigration enforcement policies, immigrant women who have experienced domestic violence live in fear of deportation.
Forty-five states have statutes that encourage medical professionals to report certain injuries to law enforcement, and some states specifically require them to report domestic violence.
As a result, many of these women are afraid to get medical attention or seek help from law enforcement for danger of being deported.
Immigrant women and girls are statistically twice as likely as non-immigrant females to experience domestic violence, according to the Tahirih Justice Center.
Spivak Law Firm helps victims of domestic violence get the legal protections they need at Protection From Abuse (PFA) hearings and by working with prosecutors on criminal domestic-violence cases.
