Molly Pitruzzelli —
Trust and Probate Attorney

Molly attended the University of Southern California for her undergraduate education, receiving a B.S. in Business Administration. After working in non-profit fundraising following college, she eventually followed in her parents’ footsteps, attending Southwestern Law School and receiving her J.D. in 2010. Molly began her legal career as a civil litigator working on personal injury, wrongful death, and nationwide pharmaceutical lawsuits before transitioning away from litigation and into trusts and estates. Her practice now primarily focuses on estate planning, trust and probate administration, and other probate court procedures. Due to her previous litigation experience, she often works hand-in-hand with litigators, counseling them with regard to decedent, administrative and settlement issues, and ensuring continuity between related trust and probate administration and litigation matters.

In recent years, Molly has served as a panelist discussing topics related to trusts and estates for Southwestern Law School and the USC Trojan Affiliates. She has been involved with many other local organizations, including the Pasadena Bar Association, Junior League of Pasadena, Foothill Family Services, Linda Vista Children’s Center, Arthritis Foundation, National Charity League, St. Bede the Venerable School and Pin-Ups for Vets, is currently serving on the Board of Directors of The Jeanne Ward Foundation and Linda Vista Children’s Center, is the Co-Chair of the Trust and Estates Section of the Pasadena Bar Association, and is a past President of the Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy Alumnae Association.
