Fiffik Law Group, P.C.

Focus and practice areas

Fiffik Law Group, P.C. is a Pennsylvania firm working out of Pittsburgh, with two further offices in Allison Park and Radnor. The website lists ten named areas of practice. That count is worth pausing on, because it tells a reader something about how the firm is arranged before any marketing copy does.

The listed areas are bankruptcy, business and corporate law, criminal defense, elder law and guardianship, family law, personal injury, real estate, trusts and estate planning, probate and trust administration, and workers' compensation. Four of those map to categories this directory tracks closely: real estate, criminal defense, family law and business law.

The firm describes its work as advising individuals and businesses on decisions involving families, businesses, legacies and real estate transactions. In my opinion, that grouping is coherent. Estate planning, probate administration and elder law are adjacent bodies of work, and a client who needs one often needs another within a few years.

How the practice areas fit together

Personal matters

Family law, elder law and guardianship, trusts and estate planning, and probate all touch the same household. A divorce changes a will. A parent losing capacity changes who signs what. Firms that keep these under one roof can carry the file forward rather than restarting it.

Guardianship petitions in Pennsylvania go before the Orphans' Court division of the county Court of Common Pleas. The petitioner files, the court appoints counsel for the alleged incapacitated person, and a hearing follows with medical testimony about capacity. Probate begins with the Register of Wills in the county where the decedent lived. Those are general procedural facts about the Commonwealth, not claims about how any particular file at this firm proceeded.

Business and property matters

Business and corporate law sits beside real estate on the firm's list. The overlap is practical. Entity formation, commercial leases, purchase agreements and the financing behind them tend to arrive together when a company buys or occupies space.

Real estate work in Pennsylvania runs through title review, agreement of sale terms, municipal certifications and closing. Commercial transactions add zoning and use questions. A firm carrying both business and real estate can handle the entity side and the property side of the same deal.

Claims and defense work

Personal injury, workers' compensation and bankruptcy make up a third cluster. These share a common thread: a client under financial pressure after an event they did not plan for. Workers' compensation in Pennsylvania is handled by workers' compensation judges under the Department of Labor and Industry, a separate track from civil court. Bankruptcy runs through the federal courts, with the Western District of Pennsylvania covering Pittsburgh and the Eastern District covering the Radnor area.

Criminal defense rounds out the list. Pennsylvania criminal matters move through preliminary arraignment, preliminary hearing before a magisterial district judge, formal arraignment and then the Court of Common Pleas. Summary offenses stay at the district level.

How the team is built

The home page names three attorneys in its attorney section: Michael E. Fiffik, Kevin S. Frankel and Matthew A. Bole. The firm's name matches the first of those, which is the usual signal about who founded or leads the practice, though the site does not say so directly.

The pages reviewed here do not carry individual biographies, titles, law school details or bar admission years for those three. As a reviewer, that is the piece I would most like to see added.Attorney bios are a direct way for a firm to establish credibility, and for a directory built on evidence they carry real weight.

Three named attorneys across ten practice areas points toward a small firm model where each lawyer covers several related fields. That is common in Pennsylvania general practice and it has a clear advantage for clients: the person handling the estate is often the person who handled the closing.

The three-office footprint

The Pittsburgh office is the main location shown on the site, in the Foster Plaza complex in Green Tree. The Allison Park office covers the North Hills, north of the city. The Radnor office sits on the Philadelphia Main Line, roughly 300 miles east.

That east-west spread is the most notable structural fact about the firm. A Pittsburgh practice with a Radnor address reaches both of Pennsylvania's major legal markets, which matters for the federal district split mentioned earlier and for state court filings in either region.

Allison Park and Radnor serve different purposes. The first extends the firm's reach in Allegheny County suburbs. The second gives it a Delaware County presence and access to the Philadelphia collar counties.

What the record shows

What our research confirmed on the firm's own pages: the legal name, three office locations, ten practice areas and three named attorneys. The site describes the client base as individuals and businesses. That is a firm positioned for both consumer and commercial work.

The site does not state a founding year. It does not publish case results, settlement figures or client testimonials on the pages reviewed. In my opinion the absence of results advertising is unremarkable for a general practice firm, where much of the work (estate plans, closings, entity filings) produces no reportable outcome at all.

For a prospective client, the practical read is this. Fiffik Law Group handles the transactional and family side of Pennsylvania law alongside criminal defense and injury claims, from three offices across the state, with three attorneys named publicly. Anyone weighing the firm for a specific matter should ask which of the three handles that practice area and how many similar files they have taken through to conclusion.

The firm publishes its practice list plainly and names its attorneys on the home page. Both are basic transparency steps that some directories' listings lack entirely. Fiffik Law Group, P.C. operates as a Pennsylvania professional corporation with its principal office in Pittsburgh.

Contact details and street addresses

The directory record gives a single telephone number for Fiffik Law Group: (412) 391-1014. It does not assign that number to a particular attorney or practice area. A caller with a new matter will therefore need to identify the legal issue and preferred office when making initial contact.

The complete Pittsburgh address is 661 Andersen Drive, Suite 315, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15220. The suite number is an important part of the listing because 661 Andersen Drive identifies the Foster Plaza 7 building rather than the firm's individual office within it. Anyone sending documents should use the complete address from the firm's site.

The North Hills address is 1736 Ferguson Road, Allison Park. Unlike the Pittsburgh listing, the supplied record gives no suite designation for this location. The distinction is useful when confirming where an appointment will take place, particularly because the firm publishes more than one address in the Pittsburgh area.

The Radnor address is 150 N. Radnor Chester Road, Suite F-200. This listing includes a suite identifier and labels the location as the Philadelphia office. The street address itself is in Radnor, so clients should use Radnor when entering the destination or addressing correspondence.

Points to confirm before an appointment

The published record identifies the firm's website and one telephone number, but it provides no language information or separate contact line for each location. It also does not connect Michael E. Fiffik, Kevin S. Frankel or Matthew A. Bole to a particular office. I would confirm both the attorney and appointment location before traveling.

The record contains no statement about consultation format, appointment hours, remote meetings or document-delivery procedures. Those practical details matter when a client is choosing among addresses that are far apart. They need to come directly from the firm rather than from assumptions based on the office list.

No court-admission information appears in the supplied material. That is separate from the firm listing practice areas such as criminal defense or bankruptcy. For a matter tied to a particular court, the client should ask which named attorney would take the file and whether that lawyer is admitted in the required forum.
