Legal disputes can affect every part of your life, from your business operations to your personal finances. When a disagreement cannot be settled through conversation alone, you need an attorney who is prepared to fight for your rights in and out of the courtroom.
At Kostrub Law Firm, PLLC, we represent individuals and businesses in Pittsburgh, Cecil, and the surrounding areas in litigation and dispute resolution matters. Our attorneys work to resolve conflicts as efficiently as possible while protecting what matters most to you.
Litigation is the process of taking a legal dispute through the court system. It involves filing a lawsuit, gathering evidence, conducting depositions, and presenting your case before a judge or jury. Dispute resolution refers to methods of resolving conflicts outside of court, including mediation and arbitration.
Not every dispute needs to go to trial. In many cases, an early settlement or alternative resolution method can save you time, money, and stress. Our attorneys assess your situation and recommend the approach that gives you the best chance of a favorable outcome.
Our team at Kostrub Law Firm has experience in a range of civil litigation matters. Some of the disputes we handle most often include:
Each case is different. Our attorneys take the time to learn the facts of your situation before recommending a course of action.
We believe in being direct with our clients about the strengths and risks of their case. When you come to us with a dispute, we start by reviewing the facts, the documents, and the law that applies to your situation. We then lay out your options and explain the likely outcomes of each path.
If a resolution can be reached through negotiation or mediation, we pursue that route first. This often results in a faster outcome and lower costs for our clients. If the other party is not willing to negotiate in good faith, we are fully prepared to take the matter to court.
Throughout the process, we keep you informed and involved. You will know what is happening with your case at every stage, and we make sure you have the information you need to make decisions.
Many disputes escalate because one or both parties wait too long to seek legal advice. By the time an attorney is involved, positions have hardened and the cost of resolution has gone up. Getting an attorney involved early can help preserve relationships, protect evidence, and open the door to a quicker settlement.
If you are facing a dispute, do not wait for the situation to get worse. A conversation with our team can help you understand your options and take the right steps to protect yourself.

The timeline varies depending on the type of case and the willingness of both parties to negotiate. Some disputes are resolved in a few months, while others may take a year or more if they go to trial. Our attorneys work to move your case forward as efficiently as possible.
Mediation involves a neutral third party who helps both sides reach a voluntary agreement. Arbitration involves a neutral decision-maker who hears both sides and issues a binding ruling. Our team can help you determine which method fits your situation.
Costs depend on the nature of the dispute, the amount of evidence involved, and how far the case progresses. We provide clear information about fees during your consultation and keep you updated on costs throughout the process.
Yes. Many disputes are settled through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration before a lawsuit is ever filed. Our attorneys always explore these options first when it makes sense for the client.
Bring any documents related to the dispute, including contracts, correspondence, invoices, and any notices you have received. The more information we have at the start, the better we can evaluate your case.
