Elizabethville · Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
Kerwin and Kerwin is a general practice firm. We are committed to the principle that all legal services should be rendered professionally and courteously.
Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm
The origins of Kerwin and Kerwin date back to 1945, when the late Patrick E. Kerwin, the son of a coal miner, opened a law office in Lykens, Pennsylvania. A second office in Harrisburg followed. The firm has continued to grow since 1945 and has remained a family law firm.
We maintain two offices for the convenience of our clients. We use current technology, prudent research, and over 100 combined years of experience in pursuit of prompt, high-quality legal service.
Our team supports and promotes small businesses and community involvement, and works toward a better future for Northern Dauphin County and the surrounding areas.
Kerwin and Kerwin is engaged in the general practice of law, with a concentration in the following areas.
We represent individuals and corporations in the sale and purchase of real estate, leasing, financing, and other matters affecting land use and development. Our work runs from the initial agreement of sale through deed preparation, title insurance, and closing. We have a good working relationship with many local banks and have worked with mortgage companies across the country.
Members of the firm are licensed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as agents for title insurance. Title insurance protects home and property buyers against defects or problems with title that may arise when property is transferred.
Since 1945, our attorneys have prepared wills and trusts and helped individuals preserve their assets, taking into account family history and inheritance and estate tax consequences. This work often includes powers of attorney, living wills, and revocable living trusts.
We represent many small businesses, often individually or family owned. This includes preparing the documents to form sole proprietorships, subchapter "S" corporations, limited liability companies, and partnerships.
For years, the firm has represented localities, municipalities, and authorities. We help draft, adopt, and implement ordinances and local laws that keep our community safe, clean, and a pleasant place to live.
For more than 40 years, through an affiliation with an agency and through its own clients, the firm has handled adoption-related proceedings.
We represent clients at summary trials, preliminary hearings, and in the Court of Common Pleas in criminal matters.
We represent Pennsylvania property owners who challenge real estate tax assessments. We review assessment records, analyze market data, and work with certified appraisers to judge whether a property has been overvalued. When an appeal is warranted, we file it, negotiate with county officials, and present evidence before the board of assessment or the Court of Common Pleas.
