We have been serving Western Pennsylvania for more than 45 years, and we look different now than we did at the start. What has not changed is the office in Irwin, the commitment to clients across Westmoreland County, Allegheny County, and Fayette County, and the belief that a law practice should be a resource people return to, not just a place they visit once. John Eric Bumbaugh founded it. Today his son, John E. Bumbaugh Jr., works alongside him, together with partners Mallard S. George, Matthew L. Prather, and L. Christian DeDiana.
The practice covers estate planning and administration, real estate law, business formation and corporate representation, debt relief and bankruptcy, personal injury, and civil litigation. That range is deliberate. Many clients come to us first for one thing and return over the years as their lives and businesses change. When you already know someone here, the next matter is easier to navigate. You are not starting from scratch explaining who you are and what you have built.
Our attorneys appear regularly in the Westmoreland County Court of Common Pleas in Greensburg, the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas in Pittsburgh, and the Orphans Court Division for estate and guardianship matters. Bankruptcy cases are handled through the Western District of Pennsylvania Bankruptcy Court. That kind of local familiarity tends to be invisible to clients until they need it, and then it matters quite a bit.
We also offer in-house title and eClosings. For clients buying or selling property, that means the legal side and the settlement process stay with the same team, which tends to make closings smoother and surprises at the table less likely.
What we can promise is this: we return calls, we give straight answers, and if something is not going the way you hoped, you will hear it from us before you have to ask. Most of our new clients come from referrals, and that is the kind of track record that only comes from being honest with people over time.
Our attorneys appear in courts across Western Pennsylvania on a regular basis, and that familiarity makes a real difference in how efficiently a matter moves and how well we can anticipate what a judge or proceeding will require. The table below outlines where we practice and in what context.

Every attorney here focuses on specific practice areas, and that focus translates directly into better representation. The attorney handling your estate plan has worked through the probate process hundreds of times in Pennsylvania courts. They know what the Register of Wills in Greensburg or Pittsburgh will require before it comes up. That level of familiarity runs across everything we do.
We are going to tell you the truth about your situation, even when the truth is complicated. That means being direct about the options, honest about the risks, and clear about what the process looks like before you commit to anything. Most people who come in unsure of where they stand leave with a clear picture of what happens next, and that is what the first conversation is designed to accomplish.
