Stanley is a life-long resident of Chester County. He attended Easttown Elementary School and was a member of “The Renowned Class of 1950” of Tredyffrin-Easttown Joint High School, both in Berwyn.
His working life began at age fourteen, when, “I started at the bottom – cleaning the basement in my father’s store, Harold’s Department Store in Berwyn.”
In 1965 Stan began his law practice as a sole practitioner when he opened his full-time formal law office in the Village of Berwyn – the first law office in Berwyn in the past sixty years. Stan retains his small town values of serving his clients with empathy, competency and reasonable fees.
As a young general practice lawyer Stan handled cases in many areas of the law. Over the years he refined his practice and now concentrates in estate planning and preparation of Wills, Trusts, Living Wills, Powers of Attorney, probate of Estates and real estate matters. He is gratified that many of his clients are the third generation of families he first represented as a very young lawyer.
