Michael Pistillo

Michael Pistillo is an attorney and founder at Pistillo Law, L.L.C. in Omaha, Nebraska. Pistillo focuses on family law, with additional work in business matters, estate planning, probate, landlord-tenant issues, construction matters, and litigation. His family law work includes divorce, legal separation, annulment, custody, child support, abuse issues, adoption, paternity, premarital agreements, name changes, and post-decree modifications. He also advises businesses on formation, sales, governance, shareholder rights, secured transactions, and related disputes.

He earned a Bachelor of Arts from Creighton University, completed a master’s degree at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, and obtained his Juris Doctorate from Creighton Law School. That academic background, combined with broad litigation experience, supports his ability to evaluate legal and practical issues across family, business, probate, and property matters.

After law school, Pistillo practiced with a small firm before joining a larger Omaha firm in the mid-1980s, where he supervised the litigation department and represented clients including banking and financial institutions. His family law experience includes bringing the first case under Nebraska’s Grandparent’s Visitation Statute, which later reached the Nebraska Supreme Court. He has also handled formal and informal probate matters, litigated estates, leases, and construction-related disputes.

Pistillo’s practice reflects long-standing ties to Omaha’s business and legal community and a broad base of litigation experience. He emphasizes direct, transparent communication and practical guidance for clients facing family disputes, business decisions, estate matters, and other legal problems. Michael Pistillo brings that approach to matters that often involve both immediate legal concerns and longer-term family or financial consequences.
