Thank you for visiting my website. You can also find me on Facebook and on Twitter.

With more than 30 years of legal experience, I am committed to providing clients with the sophistication of a downtown Pittsburgh law firm—but with a personal touch. I furnish not only personalized service, but also accountability and responsiveness, whether clients are individuals, small business owners, insurance companies or publicly-held corporations.

Clients find my suburban community office located at the Wexford Interchange of I 79 convenient and easily accessible.  My office is especially convenient for clients living in the Northern and Western suburbs of Pittsburgh – Cranberry Township, Gibsonia, Hampton Township, Mars, Wexford, McCandless, Ross Township, Shaler Township, Sewickley, Moon Township, North Fayette and Robinson Township.

It is my belief that people do not hire a law firm – they hire an attorney. They look for someone with whom they are comfortable. They also look for someone with whom they connect interpersonally. That is why I offer my prospective clients a free 1 hour initial consultation.

A significant part of my legal practice is concentrated in all aspects of estate planning and estate administration, including:

• Wills
• Testamentary Trusts
• Living Trusts
• Special Needs Trusts
• Irrevocable Trusts
• Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts
• Elder Law
  • Powers of Attorney
  • Living Wills
  • Asset Protection
  • Nursing Home Admission
• Wealth Transfer and Tax Planning
• Federal Estate Tax
• Pennsylvania Inheritance Tax
• Fiduciary Income Tax
• Will Contests
• Abuse of Powers of Attorney
• Breach of Duties of Executors
• Breach of Duties of Trustees
