About Steven Robert
Steven Robert Tabano earned a Bachelor of Arts from Allegheny College in 1983 and a Juris Doctor from Duquesne University in 1988. He completed his formal legal education at a time when the legal landscape in Pennsylvania was shifting, and he entered practice as a young lawyer prepared for a range of challenges. The record shows his professional practice is tied to Pennsylvania, where he has worked for decades.
Early in his career he served as a certified legal intern at the Allegheny County District Lawyer's Office in 1991. That year provided courtroom exposure and hands-on experience in public-sector practice. A year later he set up his own firm. In 1992 he began practicing under the name Steven R. Tabano & Associates, a practice that has remained his professional base since then.
The move from an internship in a county office to founding a firm was quick. It suggested a preference for handling matters directly for clients and overseeing case work from intake through resolution. Over the years his firm has handled matters arising under Pennsylvania law and has represented clients in state-level proceedings. He has worked with individual clients and with local businesses, addressing legal questions that require knowledge of state procedure and statutes.
Clients working with him can expect a practice shaped by steady experience in the Pennsylvania system. He draws on courtroom exposure from early work in Allegheny County and on years of practice at his own firm. His approach is practical and detail-oriented. He manages client files, prepares filings, negotiates when necessary and presents matters in venues across the state.
Outside the courtroom, his educational background has been a foundation for continuing legal work. The combination of a liberal arts undergraduate degree and a law degree from a regional law school informs how he assesses facts and crafts legal arguments. That educational path also reflects long ties to the western Pennsylvania legal community.
He continues to operate Steven R. Tabano & Associates and practices law in Pennsylvania. His current practice focuses on advising and representing clients in matters governed by Pennsylvania law.
