Dolchin, Slotkin & Todd (DS&T) was formed in 1986 by Jerry Dolchin, Mark Slotkin and Joel Todd. At the time, Dolchin and Slotkin, who are both tax attorneys, were practicing law together. Todd, a tough as nails litigator who began his career in the Philadelphia District Attorney’s office, was renting space from the two to open his solo practice. Working in close quarters, Dolchin and Slotkin quickly came to admire Todd’s “take no prisoners” style of practice. Todd was impressed with the intense personal relationships the other two attorneys developed with their clients. The three attorneys’ shared commitment to ethics and old-fashioned values soon became evident, as did their penchant for winning. They formalized this synergistic relationship to enable each attorney to offer more complete client services.
Over the last two decades, DS&T has continued on this path of organic expansion, growing to meet the needs of its clients into a full-service, boutique law firm which still puts a premium on long-term personal relationships, loyalty, old-fashioned values and, of course, winning.
A major coup for the firm was the decision by one of Philadelphia’s leading family lawyers, Arlan Kardon, to join DS&T in 1990 to chair its Domestic Relations Practice Group.
The firm’s founding values and legal prowess are evident in its premier ranking of AV—the highest rating in both professional excellence and ethics—by Martindale-Hubbell®. These ratings, which are determined based on peer review, are one of the primary ways attorneys are evaluated by corporations seeking counsel and by other attorneys making referrals or seeking counsel outside their jurisdiction. Not only does the firm as a whole rank AV, but all of its senior shareholders have earned that same rank for their individual skills and ethics.
Conveniently situated in Commerce Square in downtown Philadelphia, the firm employs 12 lawyers in its three practice groups. As part of its commitment to serve its clients with all of their legal needs, the firm also has offices in New Jersey, New York and Washington, DC.
