Local Attorneys to Speak to USC Trojan Affiliates

Nancy Shaw
Molly Girardi

Nancy Shaw and Molly Girardi, probate and trust attorneys, will speak virtually to the USC Trojan Affiliates on Thursday, March 4. The meeting, themed “Get Your Life In Order,” will begin with a social half hour at 6:30 p.m. followed by the program at 7 p.m.
Shaw and Girardi are mother and daughter attorneys specializing in probate and trust law in San Marino. Shaw, originally from Iowa, came to Los Angeles in the 1970s to be a journalist. She earned an undergraduate degree journalism from Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, and graduated from Southwestern Law School in 1977. She has been practicing law for over 40 years, first as a civil litigator and then as a probate and estate attorney.
Shaw has “seen it all” in the realm of trust and estates, has served countless clients, and has been involved with the administration of many notable estates, including those of Marlon Brando and Ray Charles. She has been involved with several local professional and charitable organizations, serving over the years as President of the Foothill Bar Association, President of the Pasadena Bar Association, President and Chairman of the Board of the Hear Center, President of the Pasadena Quarterbacks Club, and President and Chairman of the Board of the University Club.
Girardi, who was raised in San Marino, often played secretary in her mother’s law office. She earned her degree in business administration from USC, and after working in nonprofit fundraising after college, she followed in her mother’s footsteps, attending Southwestern Law School and graduating in 2010. Girardi was originally a civil litigator working on personal injury, wrongful death, and nationwide pharmaceutical lawsuits at a well-known L.A.-based law firm before transitioning from litigation and into trusts and estates work (and motherhood). She has been involved with many local organizations, including the Junior League of Pasadena, Foothill Family Services, Arthritis Foundation, San Marino Chapter of the National Charity League and the Pasadena Bar Association.
Both women have been named “Top Attorneys” by Pasadena Magazine and other organizations, and Molly was recently named a “Rising Star” in Super Lawyers magazine.
USC Trojan Affiliates, a women’s organization located in the San Gabriel Valley, supports the University of Southern California and welcomes all interested women to attend its meetings and events. This meeting will focus on new member recruitment and all women parents, alumni, and friends of USC are encouraged to attend. A woman does not need to be a graduate of USC to be a member of Trojan Affiliates.
