About
Attorney Michael J. Girardi
Michael J. Girardi is an estate and elder law attorney. He spends his days meeting with families in the Alle-Kiski Valley either in his Lower Burrell office, or at his clients’ homes, offices, hospital rooms, or nursing facilities. According to Attorney Girardi, “The best part about my job is getting to know people – to learn about their families, where they grew up, how they met their spouse, what they did for a career, and what their children and grandchildren are like. Being able to give peace-of-mind and comfort to those that are planning for the inevitable, and relieving much of stress and anxiety that comes with the passing of a loved one makes my role as an estate and elder law attorney especially rewarding.”
Attorney Girardi was born and raised in New Kensington. He is the son of Frank and Barbara and brother to Domenick and David. He graduated from Valley High School in 2004, and he played quarterback for the Vikings. He likes to boast that his last play ever was a game-winning touchdown pass to future NFL player, Toney Clemons. After high school, Michael headed south, and obtained his undergraduate degree in Political Science from Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida.
