Sweet Stevens Announces Attorney Promotions

Sweet, Stevens, Katz & Williams LLP has announced that attorneys Christopher A. Bambach and Jason D. Fortenberry have been named partners of the firm and Suzanne Pontious and Tammy J. Schmitt have been promoted to senior associates. The new titles mark the firm’s ongoing efforts to recognize and cultivate talent within its ranks, and reflect the dedication and contributions of these lawyers to the firm’s clients’ successes.

Bambach guides the firm’s presence in the Northeast region of Pennsylvania as resident attorney of its Pittston, PA office. He represents school districts and related entities in special education matters on both administrative and appellate levels, providing both advocacy and proactive counsel.

Fortenberry advises clients on special education issues, Section 504 matters, Americans with Disabilities Act violations, and other disability discrimination claims.

Pontious represents school districts, rendering advice and litigating matters primarily related to special education, discrimination, and pupil services issues.

Schmitt represents school and public entities in special education, civil rights, and employment discrimination cases.

Sweet, Stevens, Katz & Williams, LLP was formed in 1995 by nine experienced education lawyers who created the first private law practice in Pennsylvania dedicated entirely to Education Law. Since then, the firm has grown to 26 attorneys who represent over 290 school and municipal entities as Solicitors or as Special Counsel in more than 50 counties throughout Pennsylvania, and in additional practice areas, such as Construction Law, Tax Assessment Appeals, Audit of Operations and Practices, Real Estate Law and Oil, Gas and Mineral Law.
