While some county probate courts will hold a Will in safekeeping, most people find the Will, if there is one, somewhere in the home or the safety deposit box.  If your probate attorney is a member of a state probate lawyers' listserv, she may be able to ask who prepared the Will.  But not all lawyers keep a copy of the Wills they draft.
