Former U.S. Rep. Melissa Hart has rejoined Pittsburgh law firm Keevican Weiss Bauerle & Hirsch LLC as a member.
Hart was defeated by Jason Altmire last November after serving three terms as the Republican representative from McCandless.
Keevican Weiss Bauerle & Hirsch launched in 1988 and has offices in Cleveland and Harrisburg. In 2003, the firm, then ranked as Pittsburgh's ninth largest and known as DKW Law Group PC, filed for protection from creditors under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy code, emerging successfully later that year. It adopted the current name in early 2006.
Hart said in a statement that she was "happy to be back in a professional capacity at a first-rate organization among long-term friends and colleagues."
