Jeffrey Lawrence Pollock

As an Attorney, Collaborative Settlement Advocate, Mediator, and/or Peace-Making Problem-Solver, Jeffrey Pollock has devoted his 36 year law career to helping people settle disputes. He has concentrated his talents primarily in the field of Family Law and Domestic Relations since starting a home-based law office in 1989. Jeff's B.A. from the U. of Pennsylvania (focused in Psychology & Legal Studies) & J.D. from the U. of Pittsburgh provided the grounding to best utilize the law to help clients maximize their options. His grandfather's influence from having been a Labor Law Mediator -- as complemented by Jeff's training in Mediation in 1995 at Duquesne Law School, followed by co-founding CLASP (the Collaborative Law Assn of Southwestern PA) after 2006 certification in Rochester, NY -- created the even-handed temperament necessary to help separating couples obtain their desired outcomes in a fair & balanced manner.

This active member in the Allegheny County Bar Assn's respective Family, Juvenile, Estate, Criminal, Probate, and Elder Law sections keep him up to date with the necessary tools to best assist individuals who need counsel. Past awards and chairmanships have enabled Atty. Pollock to be a leader in the fields in which he has long been entrusted to help families in crisis. Jeff's extensive volunteer history, track record of community service, and diverse Pro Bono service to NLSA, YWCA, Hosanna House, Father's Rights Groups, military veterans groups, etc. coalesce to instill client faith in his objective compassion and wide-ranging concern for anyone unfortunately thrust into unfortunate legal situations. His regretful-but-helpful personal experiences with Divorce/Custody/Support, Estate/Probate Conflicts, and Civil/Criminal Court Litigation created an empathic/empathetic approach that has helped in the past and will best serve in the future those people who choose to depend upon him for the most just legal outcome possible as tailored to their situation.
