Mary Adamczyk, Esquire, is the founding partner of Adamczyk Law Offices, L.L.P. in 1992. Since that time, her sole focus has been the various aspects of family law. She received her B.S. from Buffalo State University in New York in 1987 and her Juris Doctorate from the University of Dayton School of Law in 1991.

Ms. Adamczyk came to Pittsburgh from Buffalo, New York in 1991, after having married her current law partner and immediately set off to establish her own law firm. She has been met with success since the beginning and her reputation as a family law practitioner is well known. Over the years, she has represented thousands of individuals in divorce, equitable distribution, support, and custody issues. The courts have selected her on a regular basis to act as guardian ad litem in difficult child custody cases so the child’s voice and needs may be heard. In addition, she has worked as an Allegheny County Law Department Assistant County Solicitor in the Title IV-D Department handling all issues regarding support for the County.

Ms. Mary Adamczyk has also been a law clerk to the Judges in both the family law and civil law divisions, where she has gained further insight on how the legal process can best serve litigants in these difficult situations. This included working with the administrative judge of the family division. Ms. Adamczyk is routinely requested as a speaker for legal seminars as well as private organizations whose members are interested or have particular needs concerning family law issues. She also provides consulting services to school administrators regarding the interpretation of custody orders.

Experience

Ms. Adamczyk’s approach provides understanding and emotional support, yet she stresses that she can best help the client obtain settlement or succeed in litigation involving property division when they can focus on the “business deal” as she calls it. In child custody cases the considerations are, of course, different. As a mother of two, plus years of experience representing both parents and children, she is able to see all sides and provide the guidance and advice necessary to succeed in helping the children through this divorce process. Ms. Adamczyk has also successfully mediated many equitable distribution matters and custody issues. Litigation is always a last resort. She is now a trained Mediator and in handling divorce Mediations. She is also Collaboratory trained to handle Collaborative divorces.
