Healey and Hornack

Healey and Hornack operates out of the fourth floor at 247 Fort Pitt Blvd in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a location that places them close to the courts and government offices that their clients regularly need to interact with. The firm concentrates on representing working people, with a practice that spans workers compensation claims, employment disputes, and criminal defense. Their categories suggest a client base that often includes individuals whose legal problems have arisen from the workplace. The firm's combination of workers compensation and employment law means they can handle situations where a workplace injury overlaps with an employment rights issue, such as a case where an injured worker also faces retaliation or wrongful termination after filing a claim. Adding criminal defense to their practice gives them a broader scope for clients who need legal help outside the civil system. Fort Pitt Boulevard sits in downtown Pittsburgh near the confluence of the rivers, making the office reasonably accessible from neighborhoods across the city.

Healey and Hornack helps injured workers navigate the Pennsylvania workers compensation system, which involves filing claims, attending hearings before workers compensation judges, and negotiating settlements with employers and their insurers. On the employment side, the firm takes on cases involving discrimination, wrongful discharge, and unpaid wages, advocating for employees whose rights under state and federal law have been violated. Their criminal defense work extends their reach to clients facing charges who need an attorney familiar with Pittsburgh area courts and prosecutors.

A client reaching out to Healey and Hornack will typically start with an initial consultation to discuss the facts of their situation, whether that is a workplace injury, an employment dispute, or a criminal matter.
