History & Mission
A Pittsburgh firm, through and through.
From our office at Two Gateway Center in Downtown Pittsburgh, our attorneys have spent decades representing injured people and grieving families across Western Pennsylvania. We are trial lawyers first: insurers know which firms prepare every case for the courtroom, and it changes how they negotiate.
The names on our door are the attorneys on your case. When you call, you reach your lawyer, not a case manager three states away. That is the standard the firm was founded on, and the reason clients and other attorneys refer their most serious matters to us.
“Our vision is one committed to serving our clients in a way that provides ordinary people with an opportunity to pursue justice against any opponent.”
Proven litigators for the injured.
How we can help, and what sets us apart.
Our legal team has over 100 years of combined experience in fighting for the rights and best interests of our clients. We handle cases of personal injury, medical malpractice, and wrongful death. As a result of our dedicated work, Kontos, Mengine, Killion, & Hassen has recovered millions of dollars against at-fault motor vehicle drivers, construction companies, negligent medical practitioners, correctional facility staff, nursing home staff, and more. Our Pittsburgh attorneys are proven litigators who have represented hundreds of clients in court.
If negotiations in your case do not result in a fair and just settlement, our firm has the trial experience you need to advance towards courtroom litigation in search of a more favorable result. At our firm, our attorneys have earned many honors and awards, such as the U.S. News & World Report “Best Lawyers Best Law Firms” annually since 2019. We take pride in the quality and proven results we have achieved for those who entrust us in their fight for justice.
