Ernest J. Pribanic is the youngest Pittsburgh personal injury attorney of the Pribanic’s. His passion for the law is equaled only by his desire to serve as an advocate for and give voice to those in need of legal help. A summa cum laude graduate of Duquesne University School of Law, Ernest received a full academic scholarship for academic excellence after finishing his first and second years at the Law School in the top two percent of his class and received awards for both his skill in trial advocacy and legal writing.
Ernest works on all aspects of personal injury litigation, but he focuses his practice on motor vehicle negligence, defective products, and medical negligence. During his time at the firm, Ernest has resolved cases through verdict and settlement on behalf of victims of motor vehicle negligence, landowner negligence, defective products, and medical negligence.
Before pursuing a career in the law, Ernest was a teacher and taught English, literature, and creative writing to middle and high school students. This foundation is not forgotten, however, as Ernest takes every opportunity to apply the unique forensic skills associated with being an educator to his law practice.
On those rare occasions when he is not working on representing his clients, Ernest can be found enjoying the outdoors with his wife and two daughters.
