Davidow, Davidow, Siegel & Stern LLP was founded by Harry A. Davidow in 1913 and later expanded with the addition of his sons, Wallace and Sanford Davidow, and his grandson, Lawrence Davidow, who currently serves as Managing Partner. Originally located in the Davidow family’s hometown of Patchogue, New York, the firm began as a general practice serving the business and personal legal needs of local clients. From the beginning, the firm’s guiding principles have included careful service, confidentiality, and reliability. Although the practice has evolved over time, those principles remain central to our work.
Lawrence Davidow guided the firm toward a focused practice in Elder Law, Special Needs Planning, and Estate Planning. He helped increase public and professional awareness of Elder Law in Suffolk County by addressing the changing legal needs of older adults and their families. Over the years, he has advised many seniors and family members on incapacity planning, long-term care, and the available options for financing that care.
As the firm has grown through the addition of new partners and practice areas, we have remained committed to personalized and compassionate client service. We continue the tradition of thoughtful, responsive, and knowledgeable representation that has shaped the firm for more than a century, while adapting our services to meet the needs of individuals, families, and businesses today.
Our practice areas include Elder Law, Estate Planning, Probate and Estate Administration, Special Needs Planning, Business Counseling, and Commercial Transactions. This combination of services allows us to address the legal concerns that may arise as clients pursue their personal and business goals, including matters involving family, finances, health care, property, and business operations.
Our commitment to serving clients is supported by a dedicated staff, many of whom have been with the firm for more than 15 years. We maintain substantial legal research resources, use current technology, and provide ongoing training in client service and legal developments. Our attorneys are also regularly invited to present at legal education programs for attorneys and other professionals in the local community and across the country.
