Shulman Law Office PC

Scope shaped by common legal needs

Clients in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley find a general practice firm with more than 30 years of service in the region. Shulman Law Office PC works primarily in Northampton, Lehigh, and Carbon Counties. The firm also serves clients elsewhere in Pennsylvania. Its offices are in Northampton, Bethlehem, and Palmerton.

The firm's work covers estate administration, estate planning, real estate, business law, civil litigation, and family law. Its website gives the most detail about estates and property matters. That focus fits many legal needs that arise for individuals, families, property owners, and local businesses. In my opinion, the service list has a sensible structure because several of these matters can overlap.

Estate planning, probate, and related documents

The firm pairs planning documents with legal work that follows a death or incapacity. Its services include wills, estate planning, estate administration, and probate. The attorneys also handle trusts, guardianship, and conservatorship matters. These are distinct services, but the website presents them as connected parts of the firm's estate work.

Powers of attorney form a separate listed area. The firm also prepares advance healthcare directives, which the website identifies as living wills. Those documents address decisions that may arise during illness or incapacity. Their inclusion gives the planning work a wider scope than wills alone.

The probate and estate administration work addresses the legal process after a person dies. The website does not limit the firm's estate work to document preparation. It names probate services and estate administration as direct areas of practice. That distinction helps describe the type of assistance the firm provides during both planning and administration.

Property transactions and disputes

The firm handles real estate sales and transfers, along with several related legal issues. Its website names zoning, property tax, municipal, and landlord and tenant matters. The firm also handles title insurance. This list indicates attention to both transactions and disputes involving property.

Contractor and construction disputes appear within the firm's real estate work. Those matters can involve agreements, payment questions, work on a property, or the conduct of parties to a project. The website does not publish case outcomes, so the reliable point is the stated subject matter. Shulman Law Office PC includes these disputes among the property issues it accepts.

Municipal and zoning work adds another part to the real estate list. These subjects can affect the permitted use, transfer, or development of land. The firm also names tax issues in connection with real estate. As a reviewer, the useful feature here is the site's specific list of property services.

Business setup and civil disputes

Business clients can seek help with corporation and LLC formation. The firm also reviews contracts. These services address the creation of a business entity and the agreements that may govern business activity. The website places them under its business law work.

Civil litigation appears as a separate practice area. The site does not attach claimed results, dollar figures, or a list of reported cases to that service. It does identify contractor and construction disputes within its property work. The published information supports a clear statement that the firm accepts civil disputes as well as transactional matters.

Family law within a general practice

The website specifically identifies family law and divorce as areas of focus. David B. Shulman's listed practice also includes both subjects. The firm gives these matters less descriptive detail than its estate and real estate services. Its published scope still makes family law part of the firm's general practice.

Family matters can exist alongside estate, property, and business concerns, though each case has its own facts. The firm's listed areas place those subjects within one legal office. Nothing on the site supports claims about outcomes or a particular litigation style. The verifiable point is that the firm handles family law and divorce.

Attorneys, education, and practice coverage

David B. Shulman and Joshua D. Shulman bring different education records and overlapping areas of work. The firm identifies David as a member and Joshua as a principal. Both attorneys work in estate-related fields. Their published practice areas also connect with other services listed by the firm.

David B. Shulman earned his J.D. from Rutgers School of Law-Camden and his B.A. from Temple University. His practice covers real estate, wills, trusts and estates, estate planning, probate, guardianship and conservatorship, family law, divorce, and business law. That list crosses several of the firm's main service categories. It also links his work to both personal and business matters.

Joshua D. Shulman earned a B.A. from the College of William and Mary in 2004. He received his J.D. from the Dickinson School of Law of the Pennsylvania State University in 2007 and also earned a master's degree from Pennsylvania State University. His listed work includes probate, guardianship, estate planning, wills, and trusts and estates. Those subjects align closely with the firm's stated emphasis on estate services.

Three offices and a defined regional base

The firm works primarily in Northampton, Lehigh, and Carbon Counties. It describes its service area in terms of the wider Lehigh Valley and clients throughout Pennsylvania. The Northampton, Bethlehem, and Palmerton offices give the firm a presence in three Pennsylvania communities. The website consistently connects that office network with its county-level focus.

Shulman Law Office PC has served the Lehigh Valley for more than 30 years, according to its website and attorney profile page. The site does not assign a specific founding year to that history. Its published record identifies two attorneys and a general practice centered on estates, real estate, business matters, civil litigation, and family law. The firm maintains offices in Northampton, Bethlehem, and Palmerton.
