Ian Watt
Personal Injury Attorney
He represents clients who have been injured through no fault of their own, going up against insurance companies that have near endless resources. For Ian, this is not just a career, it is personal. Having grown up without access to the kind of resources large institutions take for granted, he has a genuine understanding of what his clients are facing, and he brings that perspective to every case he handles.
“I highly recommend Mike Murphy and John Perkosky. They kept us informed every step of the way. Both are incredibly caring and were readily available to answer any questions we had. I felt completely confident in their abilities and am extremely grateful for all that they did. Mike and John fought hard to get us the best possible outcome for our case.”
Ian’s approach with clients is as direct as it is intentional. He throws the legalese out the window in favor of plain conversation, because he believes the best way to serve someone is first make them feel heard and understood.
Many of his clients come to him during some of the most painful and stressful periods of their lives, and the feedback he values most is not about the outcomes alone, it is when a client tells him they felt comfortable and supported throughout the process.
Each day, Ian looks for opportunities to make a meaningful difference in someone’s life, whether big or small.
Ian received his B.A from Kenyon College in 2013 and his J.D. from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law in 2017. He is a member of the Allegheny County Bar Association and has been selected to the Super Lawyers Rising Stars list for 2024, 2025, and 2026. Ian is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Outside of the office, Ian enjoys weightlifting and running, and spends his time away from work with his wife and their two sons, whom he counts as his greatest achievement.
