When Dan opened his Havertown Delaware County office, he wanted to be the “neighborhood lawyer” for his friends and neighbors – and one of the main reasons he opened in Havertown, not Media, was to be closer to his clients. Then Dan was elected Haverford Township Commissioner, and he truly became the lawyer his neighbors called for advice. It also led Dan to create his estate planning and unique “Pay Once, Revise for Life Estate Planning Program.” Coupled with the firm’s comprehensive interview process, the stress of estate planning is reduced because there are no further costs for clients of the Haverford Havertown wills lawyer.

In addition, Dan helps his clients buy and sell homes and other matters that “everyday” people experience so that they can stay in the local area and be represented by someone they know and trust.
