Candice L. Komar’s legal career spans nearly four decades as a prominent practitioner recognized equally for excellence in litigation and alternative dispute skills.

Incorporating her affinity for business and her understanding of the sensitivity surrounding marital break down, Pittsburgh family lawyer Candice L. Komar is a skilled and formidable opponent in the courtroom who also shines in the alternative dispute arena as a collaborative lawyer, mediator and arbitrator.

Candice provides education and concrete analysis for clients to take the fear out of the emotional process of divorce. Her training in collaborative family law, mediation and arbitration well equips her to identify the needs of each party and negotiate a resolution to meet them.

A fierce litigator, Candice excels at divorces involving valuation of closely held businesses and complex support litigation. Her legal experience is complemented by a constellation therapy certification, providing her a deeper understanding of her clients’ motivations. With her unique perspective, she crafts legal strategies leveraging the interests of both parties.

Candice is repeatedly called upon by media to discuss topical, cutting-edge legal issues such as high-conflict custody cases, domestic abuse, collaborative law and alimony and child support issues. Her candid and unbiased opinions garner her national speaking engagements and network television interviews and her pioneering work in collaborative law makes her a sought-after speaker and lecturer on negotiation and conflict resolution.
