Westmoreland Bar Association

The Westmoreland Bar Association is among the oldest, continuous professional organizations of lawyers in Pennsylvania. This voluntary association is comprised of approximately 500 attorneys who practice law primarily in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.

Our mission is to continue a long-standing tradition of fostering excellence in professional service by our members to their clients and to the general community while engendering respect, civility and camaraderie among the members of the Bench and Bar.

Our plan is to have Westmoreland County lawyers view the WBA as essential to a successful practice. Members will enjoy a more rewarding professional experience because of the bar's valuable programming, the sense of community, and the bar's engagement with the community-at-large.
