The law firm of Coughlin & Gerhart, LLP had humble beginnings during the Victorian Age. Today, almost 120 years later, the firm has grown to include seven offices in New York State and Pennsylvania. However, the team is proud to say that they’ve stuck with the ideals and values of their predecessors – meaning, specifically, that they believe in giving each client the type of personalized and focused attention that one would expect from a smaller boutique law firm.

They handle a wide array of legal matters, from business law to personal injury to estate planning. Many clients have needs that cross over to different legal skills, and with Coughlin & Gerhart they don’t have to find a different law firm to represent a different need. Many of the attorneys on the team are AV-rated* by Martindale-Hubbell for the highest legal and ethical standards. The firm has also been recognized by The Best Lawyers in America and numerous other state and national entities.
Business Law
Corporations, individuals and other entities have sought the law firm’s services in the areas of business and banking, labor and employment and real estate law. They also handle municipal and education matters and oil and gas disputes.
Each member of the team takes pride in preemptively helping families avoid conflict by helping them draft solid wills and trusts. In the event of a dispute, they focus on avoiding conflict through alternative dispute resolution means such as mediation or negotiation. More than anything, they aim to protect families from a lengthy and potentially costly estate dispute.
Personal Injury and Workplace Accidents
The firm’s attorneys handle a wide range of personal injury matters for those injured in an accident. These include auto accidents, product liability cases, medical malpractice and wrongful death. They also handle property liability incidents such as slip-and-fall accidents or animal attacks.
In the event of an accident on the job, the legal team has extensive experience in the workers’ compensation claims process. Regardless of the type of injury a client is suffering from, the team understands that dealing with a personal injury is stressful and confusing. They treat each client with compassion and respect during this difficult time.
