About Stephen L.
Stephen L. Bloom earned his law degree from Dickinson School of Law in 1984. He entered the legal profession after graduation and established roots in Pennsylvania law. Early academic training at Dickinson set the stage for a long career that has combined private practice and involvement in local bar organizations.
Bloom's early firm experience included a position at Martson, Deardorff, Williams & Otto, P.C., beginning in 1987. That period exposed him to firm-based practice and the routines of client representation. In 1999 he opened his own practice under the name Stephen L. Bloom, Lawyer & Counselor at Law. He led that office for several years before joining Irwin & McKnight, P.C. in 2007. Those moves mark a steady progression from associate roles to solo practice and then into a partnership environment.
Beyond his desk work, Bloom has maintained an active role in professional circles. He holds membership in the Pennsylvania State Bar and the Cumberland County Bar Association. He is also a member of the Christian Legal Society. In 1997 he founded the Estate Planning Council of Cumberland County and served as its first president; he remains a member of that council. These affiliations reflect a pattern of participation in institutions that serve lawyers and the public in his region.
Colleagues describe Bloom as a lawyer who prefers clear, direct solutions to legal problems. He has handled matters typical of a general practice that includes estate planning, and his leadership in the local estate planning council signals sustained interest in that area. His practice history—solo firm leadership followed by integration into a regional firm—suggests familiarity with the administrative and client-service demands of different practice settings.
Clients and peers have relied on Bloom for steady counsel rather than flourish. He tends to manage cases methodically and stays engaged with professional groups that shape local practice standards. Outside of the office, his long-term ties to Cumberland County organizations point to a lawyer who is rooted in his community.
Bloom currently works at Irwin & McKnight, P.C., and handles estate planning and related matters.
