Here When Life Gets Complicated

Your Local Law Advocate

At The Law Offices of Robert S. Betnar, I focus on making the legal process easier to understand and less stressful. With over 18 years of legal experience and a 26-year background in law enforcement, I bring a rare perspective and a deep sense of commitment to the people I serve. I help clients in Pittston and throughout Luzerne County with reliable legal guidance for life’s most important moments.

Probate & Inheritance

I help you settle your loved one’s estate with care and clarity—probate filings, inheritance tax, asset distribution, and everything in between.

I help you create a plan that protects your family, your assets, and your peace of mind—wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and more.

Personal Injury

If you’ve been hurt in an accident—whether on the road, in a store, or on someone else’s property—I’ll fight to make sure you’re treated fairly and compensated fully.

Family Law

When family changes bring legal challenges, I’m here to help with compassionate, steady guidance through divorce, custody, and support cases.

Rooted in Service, Built on Trust

Meet Robert S. Betnar


I spent 26 years serving the people of Pennsylvania as a State Police Trooper. During that time, I also built a legal practice focused on helping individuals and families through important—and often difficult—life moments. Today, I bring that same commitment, discipline, and down-to-earth approach to every case. Whether you need help planning for the future, recovering after an injury, or resolving a family matter, I’ll be someone you can count on to be honest, prepared, and on your side.
