About Us

Malee Law Firm

The Malee Law Firm is your Estate Planning and Elder Law firm.  We have been dedicated to helping clients with estate planning and elder law matters for over 18 years throughout the Central and Northeast Pennsylvania region.

We are conveniently located in Williamsport on the corner of East Third Street and Basin Street.  You may remember seeing the bright green building on the corner.  This location keeps us close to downtown and the courthouse, and gives the client more convenient access from the freeway and better parking opportunities.

Come and visit us as we remodel the mid 1800s, two-story, brick building.
