After practicing in Latrobe for more than 6 years and Greensburg for more than 2 years, Attorney Hauser returned his practice to his hometown of Latrobe, where he founded Latrobe Law Associates, LLC. Continuing to practice primarily in the areas of family law, criminal law, estate planning, personal injury, and small business organization, John is committed to personal attention to each of his cases, to solving problems for his clients, and to treating all of his clients fairly.
