McNees Wallace & Nurick LLC announces it is opening its first office in the Philadelphia area with the hiring of three veteran local attorneys.
Joan Agran and Garth G. Hoyt have joined McNees as Member attorneys in the firm’s Estate Planning practice group, effective Feb. 1. In addition, McKinley “Sandy” C.

All three attorneys specialize in providing advice relating to estate planning, tax planning, succession planning, and trust and estate administration. They represent families, individuals, business owners and executives.
