Nora is a founding partner of Pittsburgh Estate Law, P.C. She has more than thirty years of legal experience and more than forty years of experience in business startups. Nora followed in her father’s footsteps of becoming a Patent Attorney, although she decided to focus her legal practice in the areas of General Business Law, Estate Planning and Estate Administration.

Nora’s experience includes small business startups, mid-career development, exit strategies and business succession planning. She has on-the-ground experience of running a successful law firm and multiple dental practices, in addition to contracting and commercial real estate businesses. Nora spent part of her career within the corporate banking sector of Wealth Management, where she focused on Estate Administration, Estate Planning, Wealth Transfer, Charitable Giving, and Income Tax Planning. In 2017, Nora chose to merge her solo practice with Jeanne Marie Marquette and Carolyn Russ.

In 2020, they rebranded their practice as Pittsburgh Estate Law, P.C. to more clearly exhibit their focus in Wills and Estate Planning, Estate Administration, Probate, and Elder Law services. Nora also continues to provide Business and Real Estate Law services, ranging from corporate entity formations, operating agreements, acquisitions, deeds and other corporate and residential related documents. Her kind and caring demeanor combined with her unique and extensive experience provides her clients with the expertise of a trusted Legal Advisor with a Business and Wealth Management background.

Nora is accompanied to the office daily by her loving chihuahua, Pup-Pup, who serves as the Office Ambassador and Chief Greeter! Nora and her family live in the North Hills of Pittsburgh. She regularly volunteers within the local communities and serves as a Board Member at North Hills Community Outreach, the Mid-Atlantic Mothers’ Milk Bank, the Midwife Center for Birth and Women’s Health and she is a member of the Shaler Rotary.
