Commercial Law Firm Opens Offices In Doylestown

DOYLESTOWN, PA -- Becker, a Florida-based multi-practice commercial law firm, has announced its expansion into Pennsylvania with a new Doylestown office.

Becker also announced that Stefan Richter and Josephine Lee Wolf have joined as shareholders in the Condo, Co-Op & HOA Practice at 2003 South Easton Road, Suite 205, Doylestown.

According to the firm, the new Pennsylvania location highlights Becker’s growth and allows the firm to serve clients in multiple jurisdictions.

With long-standing ties to Bucks County and the greater Philadelphia area, Richter and Lee Wolf were most recently shareholders at Clemons Richter & Reiss, P.C. in Doylestown.

“We extend a warm Becker welcome to Stefan and Josephine," said Gary Rosen, managing shareholder and CEO at Becker. "Their Bucks County and Philadelphia area roots and extensive community association law and litigation experience will be of great value to the firm and our clients. Our presence in Pennsylvania marks an exciting new chapter for Becker, and we look forward to building on this momentum with Stefan and Josephine to further expand our Condo, Co-Op, & HOA practice in Bucks County and the greater Philadelphia metropolitan area.”

Richter focuses his practice on all aspects of community association law, including assessment collections, governing document interpretation and amendments, covenant enforcement, transition matters, and related litigation. He also has broad experience in civil litigation, including association, bankruptcy, construction, corporate, and insurance law.

Richter is a past president of the board of directors of the Pennsylvania and Delaware Chapter of the Community Associations Institute (CAI), where he continues to contribute on various committees, including the Legislative Action Committee.

In 2014, he was selected for membership into the College of Community Association Lawyers (CCAL), one of approximately 200 attorneys nationwide to be admitted to this prestigious organization of attorneys who have distinguished themselves through contributions to the evolution and practice of community association law. Admitted to practice before state and federal courts in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, he is also a trained mediator. He received his J.D. from Temple University School of Law.

“I grew up in Bucks County and have lived here for most of my life; I attended college and studied law in Philadelphia. I have practiced law here for 33 years," said Richter. "Josephine and I are elated to join Becker’s highly regarded Condo, Co-Op & HOA Practice and to establish a presence and grow the team in Pennsylvania. With Becker’s extensive resources and national platform, we look forward to collaborating with the firm’s experienced attorneys across New Jersey, New York, and Florida to deliver high-quality, cost-effective service to our clients.”

Lee Wolf focuses on community and condominium association law, including assessment collections, document interpretation and amendments, covenants enforcement, transition issues and associated litigation. She has written numerous articles and has given lectures to homeowners, managers, and legal professionals on association law topics, including general legal principles of association law and governance.

She currently serves as secretary of the board of directors of the Keystone Chapter of CAI; she is also the secretary of the PA Legislative Action Committee. She is licensed to practice in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and received her J.D. from Widener University School of Law.

“I have lived in Bucks County since birth and am passionate about the Pennsylvania communities that we serve. We are thrilled to bring the ample resources of Becker to our Pennsylvania clients," said Lee Wolf.
