GENTILE, HOROHO & AVALLI TAKES CHARGE WHEN THE STAKES ARE HIGH

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.”
