Keith R. Nicola

I grew up locally in the North Hills, attended Shaler High School and ultimately want on to Lafayette College where I obtained an engineering degree.  After several years in software sales, I decided to go to law school at the University of Dayton School of Law where I obtained my law degree in 1994.

Following law school, I worked briefly for a firm in Media, Pennsylvania before returning to the Pittsburgh area to practice law with my cousin John Eric Bumbaugh.  I have been in private practice at our firm, Bumbaugh and Nicola, since 1995.

I specialize in real estate, estate planning as well as estate probate and work closely with Laurel Settlement Group on real estate matters.

I currently reside in Allegheny Township, Westmoreland County.
