P
racticing law since 1990, Paul Giuffre of the Giuffre Law
Office has broad experience as an attorney, giving him
a strong foundation and a breadth of knowledge to
help people in need of legal representation. Admitting
that it sounds cliched, Giuffre cites Atticus Finch, the principled
hometown attorney in Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird” as
both a reason he became a lawyer and why he now practices law
in his Aspinwall office.
Giuffre served as a prosecutor with the Allegheny County
District Attorney’s office for five years, worked for several
successful litigation firms in Pittsburgh, and was a partner at
another downtown firm until 2013 when he opened Giuffre Law
Office.
As a result of his work, Giuffre is recognized as a member of
the Academy of Trial Lawyers of Allegheny County—a group
whose membership is limited to 250 active members. Having
obtained several seven-figure verdicts or settlements for his
clients, he is a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum,
has been named a “Super Lawyer,” and has obtained an “AV
Preeminent Rating” by Martindale-Hubbell.
While he still enjoys the challenges of trial work, limiting his
practice to those areas was not what Giuffre wanted: “I grew
up in Aspinwall and I always wanted to have a small, general-
practice law office in the heart of my community, to practice law
in my own backyard.”
Giuffre maintains “an open-door office” where he welcomes
anyone who may need legal assistance. From estate planning
and administration and counseling small businesses, to civil
litigation, criminal defense, and medical negligence and personal
injury claims, Giuffre Law is positioned to help with most legal
problems.
To that end, Giuffre has been working alongside Matthew
V. Rudzki since 2013 to round out his practice. Rudzki is a

lifelong Sharpsburg resident and a graduate of Fox Chapel Area
High School, Washington & Jefferson College, and Duquesne
University School of Law. He is also an accomplished attorney
in his own right, having twice been named a Pennsylvania
Rising Star by Super Lawyers. Rudzki’s practice focuses on estate
planning and administration, real estate tax assessment matters,
and personal injury. Rudzki serves as mayor of Sharpsburg, on
the board of the Sharpsburg Neighborhood Organization, and
as a board member of the Fox Chapel District Association, which
benefits all Fox Chapel-area municipalities and Harmar Township.
Both he and Giuffre share the same philosophy of helping the
community first.
Giuffre has also been active in the community. He was a
founding board member of the Seneca Area EMS. He is on the
distribution committee for the Fugh Foundation, which helps
fund community organizations and provides scholarships to
Fox Chapel Area and Shaler Area graduates. He has also been an
active member of St. Scholastica Parish, is on the advisory board
for Christ the Divine Teacher Catholic Academy in Aspinwall,
and is involved with Mary’s Place, which offers counseling and
support for women facing unexpected pregnancies.
“Working in the community where we reside provides us with
the more diverse practice I wanted,” Giuffre explains. “It’s brought
me back to being a more active member of my community. Now
representing someone is not just about earning a living, it’s part
of helping a neighbor, and serving the community we call home.”
