FE ARLES S IN COUR T he hallmark of a good law firm is good outcomes for clients. The measure of a great firm is impressive outcomes and lasting relationship with clients. Pribanic & Pribanic is one of the greats. “Our former clients remain very happy,” says Victor H. Pribanic, the firm’s founding member. “Over the years we’ve helped a lot of people, a lot of children. And we enjoy long-term relationships with many of those same people.” The firm specializes in serious, life-changing events that result from the wrongful or negligent acts of others. Many of the cases Pribanic takes on fall into the area of medical malpractice, but the team also has extensive experience with car accidents, tractor-trailer crashes, and workers’ compensation. Some were cases seen as “too difficult to win,” but resulted in favorable outcomes for grateful clients. ‘ C O N S TA N T LY I M P R OV I N G ’ Pribanic & Pribanic doesn’t shy away from complicated or challenging cases—they thrive on them. The proof is in their impressive results. Just a few of their major verdicts illustrate the diversity of the firm’s success. A $103 million verdict in an accounting negligence/fraud suit and a $21 million settlement in a product liability/medical and hospital malpractice case were financially notable. “We are constantly improving the experts we use so that we have access to the most current research and evidence-based practices,” Pribanic says. ABILIT Y AND ETHICS The people wielding those tools are what makes for a successful outcome, according to Pribanic. His team has the legal exper tise and unique skills developed in the courtroom. The firm has a reputation for taking cases to trial when it’s in the best interest of the client. In a recent case, they were going to face off against General Motors. “They must have had 30 lawyers on their side,” says Pribanic. “We were able to mobilize many people in the firm to do all the necessary work, and we won a settlement that kept the case out of the courts.” Pribanic & Pribanic has earned a Tier 1 law firm ranking by U.S. News – Best Lawyers “Best Law Firms” 2017* in Pittsburgh and has the highest MartindaleHubbell rating, AV Preeminent, for the highest legal ability and ethical standards.
