About Maureen
Biography
I am a very experienced Pittsburgh estate administration and probate attorney after having practiced exclusively in the area of Wills, Trusts, Probate, Estates, Powers of Attorney and Living Wills for over 30 years.
Growing up as the second oldest in a middle-class family of six children, I know all about family dynamics and the sometimes competing interests among family members. I also know what it is like to raise a family during these financially and socially uncertain and ever-changing times. And, more recently, I have personally dealt with the issues affecting aging parents, those same parents who worked so hard to provide for their large families.
These experiences have shaped the way that I run my probate and estate and trust administration law practice. I take pride in addressing each client’s concerns in a clear and understandable manner. I make every attempt to respond to your telephone calls within 24 hours and will always keep you up-to date and informed about the progress of your legal matter. I am driven to efficiently and responsively guide you through the estate administration and probate process.

Maureen was hired by my mother in 2013 to help her draw up her will. Years later my mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and we were unable to find a copy of her will in her files. Last summer (2022) I reached out to Maureen and explained that I was my mom's POA and that I needed a copy of her will. My...
