About Stanley H
Stanley H Block has practiced law for decades. He earned his law degree from the University of Baltimore School of Law in 1961, entering a legal landscape that has changed a great deal since. His education provided the foundation for a long career centered on tax matters and client representation before both state and federal authorities.
Early in his career Block tested the boundaries of tax law in everyday client matters and administrative proceedings. Records show a sustained involvement in tax practice that eventually led him to form and operate under the name SH Block Tax Services Inc beginning in 1997. That venture has anchored much of his professional work in later years and shaped his approach to resolving disputes with tax authorities.
He is admitted to practice in Maryland and before the Federal Circuit. Those admissions have allowed him to move between state-level tax issues and federal appellate questions when cases required escalation. He also holds a professional certification as a Certified Tax Resolution Specialist from the American Society of IRS Problem Solvers, an organization of practitioners who handle IRS-related disputes. He has been a member of that society since 2003.
Alongside private practice, Block has maintained a public-service thread in his work. He is currently a lawyer for the Maryland Volunteer Lawyers Service, Inc., where he contributes time to help people who cannot otherwise afford legal representation. That role has connected him with a range of clients and community needs beyond the tax controversies that dominate his private caseload.
Block’s practice has been spread across multiple offices to serve clients in different parts of the state and the region. He maintains locations in Pikesville, Baltimore, Columbia and Annapolis, and also lists a Washington, D.C. office. The arrangement reflects a preference for accessibility; clients can meet him in suburban, urban and the District settings depending on their needs.
Colleagues and clients describe him as a lawyer who has spent decades working through the technical rules that govern taxation and tax disputes. His work has combined certification, service and a long-running private practice under SH Block Tax Services Inc. He currently handles tax resolution and IRS-related matters in Maryland and before federal tribunals.
