Jones Gregg Creehan & Gerace

Jones, Gregg, Creehan & Gerace, LLP is a Pittsburgh law firm whose real estate practice represents buyers, sellers, businesses, landlords, developers and investors in residential and commercial matters. Work covers acquisitions, development, leasing, financing and property-related disputes.

The firm frames real estate as a risk-management exercise: contracts, financing, title review, negotiations, zoning and regulatory requirements that affect a property's value and use long after closing. Alongside real estate it handles business transactions and succession, partnership and shareholder agreements, estates, trusts and probate, employment agreements, workers' compensation, commercial litigation and family law, so a single file can pull in the entity work, the lease and any dispute that follows. One partner's practice includes commercial real estate transactions, entity formation and structuring, tax, and Marcellus Shale matters.

The firm dates from 1933 and says it has served clients for more than 80 years, throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C. It works from two offices: 20 Stanwix Street, Suite 1100 in Pittsburgh on 412.261.6400, and 221 Commercial Avenue on 412.781.7900. Attorneys are admitted before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, and hold Allegheny County Bar Association memberships, including roles on its Probate and Trust Section Council and Elderlaw Committee.

The firm says it provides legal services at an affordable cost but publishes no rates. Ask which attorney would carry the file: the real estate page is written generally, while individual attorney pages show where transactional real estate experience actually sits.
