Representing Pittsburgh and Allegheny County Abuse Survivors
If you were abused in Pittsburgh or anywhere in Allegheny County, you deserve more than an anonymous hotline. Ashley DiLiberto, Esq., represents survivors across the Pittsburgh region and throughout the Commonwealth from the firm’s Philadelphia office, offering free and confidential consultations. Ashley has been recognized among Pittsburgh’s leading sexual-abuse attorneys for her trauma-informed, survivor-centered approach.

Abuse can happen anywhere: in schools, universities, medical practices, religious institutions, youth athletics, and childcare settings across Pittsburgh and the surrounding region. Whatever the setting, the question is the same: did an institution fail to protect you, and can it be held accountable? Ashley represents Pittsburgh survivors and their families in civil cases such as:- Daycare & childcare abuse
- School & Title IX abuse
- Clergy & church abuse
- Doctor & medical-provider abuse
- Massage & spa abuse
- Foster care & group-home abuse
Holding Pittsburgh Institutions Accountable
Survivors across the Pittsburgh area have come forward in growing numbers, and their courage matters. Western Pennsylvania was named directly in the statewide grand-jury report on clergy abuse, a painful reminder of how institutions can fail the people they were meant to protect. A civil case gives a Pittsburgh survivor the opportunity to hold powerful institutions, including a diocese, a school district, or a hospital system, accountable for what they knew and allowed.Understanding Your Deadline to File in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania’s deadlines for civil abuse claims aren’t as fixed as many people assume, and recent changes to the law make it worth confirming yours before writing off your options. For a Pittsburgh survivor, the answer often depends on age, when the abuse occurred, and the specific facts of the case. Even abuse from decades ago may still fall within the deadline, but that window can close for good if you wait too long to ask. Attorney Ashley DiLiberto offers a free, confidential call to give you a clear, accurate answer about your situation, at no cost and no obligation.Getting in Touch Is Free, Confidential, and Easy
