OUR FIRM
A general practice firm with deep roots in western Pennsylvania.
Sutton & Lovette Law Offices, P.C. is a respected general practice firm in Ebensburg, Pennsylvania, founded by Attorneys Joseph J. Sutton and John B. Lovette III. We offer experienced representation in criminal defense, civil litigation, estate planning, family law, real estate, and more.
We’ve built our reputation one client at a time — with directness, preparation, and a refusal to treat any case as routine. When you walk into our office, you’re met by attorneys who know this county, this courthouse, and the people who work in it.
Just recently had the pleasure of being represented by the law office. I chose their representation based off their reviews and I wasn't disappointed. Was given a fair price for representation and they got the outcome I was hoping for. I'd recommend them. Probably the top attorneys in the area in my own opinion.
Unfortunately, I received a DUI before moving out of state. I contacted Attorney Lovette, who was absolutely amazing especially with me living over 700 miles away. He was extremely knowledgeable about the law, worked above and beyond for me, and I am eternally grateful there are lawyers like him.
The attorneys prepared estate planning documents for my husband and I. They prepared our wills, living wills, and powers of attorney in a bundled package at a lower price than some other attorneys we consulted. I would highly recommend their services.
Attorney Sutton is kind, knowledgeable and very professional. He knows the law and takes the time to explain everything. He fights hard for his clients. He gave us hope when we thought we were defeated and won our case! We highly recommend Sutton and Lovette!
Attorney Lovette is representing me through my lowest point in my life and I have to say, that I couldn't be happier. Immediately I was put at ease by his competence and integrity. If you have a problem, I highly recommend the office of Sutton and Lovette. As someone who lives the next county over I can also tell you, they are absolutely worth a drive.
Attorney Sutton is very knowledgeable in all areas of the law. He is professional, well prepared, and will fight tirelessly for you. I would highly recommend this office 100%.

MEET THE TEAM
Two attorneys. One standard of representation.
Joe and John founded this firm on a simple belief: that a small practice, done right, beats a big one every time. They handle their own cases, return their own calls, and stand in court themselves.
