He also serves on the firm’s Executive Committee.
For more than 15 years, he has served as the solicitor of the Sports & Exhibition Authority of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County, which owns PNC Park, Heinz Field, the David L. Lawrence Convention Center and the Consol Energy Center.
The Senate also voted today 82-17 to confirm Robert David Mariani to the Central District of Pennsylvania bench. The Senate confirmed on Monday U.S. Magistrate Judge Cathy Bissoon, 43, of Mt. Lebanon to the other vacancy in the Western District.
