At PetrickLaw Group, we handle the full spectrum of civil litigation matters. Whether you’re an individual, a small business, or a larger corporation, we are your first call when disputes arise.

Here are the types of cases we handle:

Contract Disputes

Breach of contract, misrepresentation, non-performance, and failure to pay—we handle it all. Whether you’re the plaintiff or defendant, we aggressively pursue your rights and seek the remedies you deserve.

Business and Commercial Litigation

From partnership disputes and shareholder oppression to unfair competition and breach of fiduciary duty, our firm protects businesses of all sizes from legal threats that jeopardize their bottom line.

Tort Litigation

We prosecute and defend cases involving fraud, civil conspiracy, defamation (libel and slander), negligent misrepresentation, tortious interference with contracts, and other intentional and negligent torts.

Construction and Real Estate Disputes

Contractor disputes, faulty construction, mechanics’ liens, boundary issues, zoning challenges, and more—we represent homeowners, contractors, investors, and developers in the most contentious real estate and construction battles.

Estate Litigation

Will contests, disputes over powers of attorney, breach of fiduciary duty, and allegations of undue influence—we represent heirs, beneficiaries, and fiduciaries in emotionally and financially significant cases.

Trust and Fiduciary Litigation

When fiduciaries fail to act in the best interests of those they serve, we hold them accountable. We litigate trust disputes, asset misappropriation, and contested accountings.

Injunctions and Emergency Relief

We are well-versed in seeking and defending against preliminary injunctions and temporary restraining orders (TROs), including urgent actions for breach of non-compete agreements, harassment, or asset freezes.

Landlord-Tenant and Property Litigation

We handle eviction actions, lease enforcement, boundary line disputes, adverse possession, quiet title actions, and other real estate-related conflicts.

Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection

We prosecute violations under the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law (UTPCPL), including fraud, bait-and-switch, false advertising, and deceptive business practices.

Whistleblower and Retaliation Claims

We represent both employers and employees in cases involving whistleblower protection, retaliation, and wrongful termination, including cases under the Pennsylvania Whistleblower Law and Adult Protective Services Act.

Employment Litigation

From wrongful discharge and wage disputes to discrimination and non-compete violations, we are experienced in both prosecuting and defending employment claims in state and federal courts.


Litigation Isn’t Just About the Law—It’s About the Story

At PetrickLaw Group, we know that great litigation is about more than statutes and case law. It’s about telling your story in a compelling way that resonates with judges, juries, and opposing counsel. That’s why we take time to understand your goals, your needs, and the full scope of what’s at stake.

We do more than just file paperwork—we build persuasive cases from the ground up.

  1. Initial Consultation & Strategy Session

  2. Investigation & Evidence Review

  3. Pleadings & Motion Practice
