About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Tarasi built a legal education grounded in Pennsylvania institutions. She holds a B.A. in Business from the University of Pittsburgh, awarded in 1982, and earned a J.D. from Duquesne University School of Law. Those academic credentials formed the foundation for a long career in state practice.
Her professional record ties closely to Tarasi & Tarasi P.C., where she is listed as a shareholder. A notation indicates she assumed that role in 1987. Over the years she has maintained membership in several trial and plaintiff-oriented bar organizations, joining the Allegheny County Bar Association, the Pennsylvania Association for Justice, and the Western Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers in 1991. She is also a member of the American Association for Justice.
Peers and directories have recognized her work. She holds an AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell, a designation used by that directory to reflect peer review. She is licensed to practice in Pennsylvania and has remained active in local legal circles through bar association participation and courtroom work.
Her career path shows a blend of courtroom practice and firm leadership. Remaining at a family-named firm through changing legal markets suggests continuity in client service and institutional knowledge. That continuity has coincided with involvement in organizations that emphasize trial advocacy and civil justice matters. Courtroom experience and bar association work have been a consistent part of her professional life.
Colleagues describe a practitioner who navigates the procedural and substantive demands of civil litigation. She has participated in case preparation, hearings and trials. Her work includes drafting and responding to pleadings, managing discovery and representing clients in court. That practical work sits alongside the administrative responsibilities that come with being a shareholder in a small firm.
Outside of firm duties she has engaged with the professional community through long-term association memberships. Those affiliations provide forums for continuing legal education, networking and policy discussion. They also offer avenues for mentoring younger lawyers and staying current on developments in state law.
As of 2026 she continues to practice in Pennsylvania through Tarasi & Tarasi P.C., maintaining an active role in litigation and firm management and carrying an AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell. She practices in Pennsylvania and handles civil litigation matters at Tarasi & Tarasi P.C.
