HISTORY OF FIRM PRACTICE

The firm's senior partners, Nathan E. Gillin (deceased) and S.Dell Scott (retired), commenced practicing law in 1932 and 1948, respectively. In 1958, they formed the law firm of Gillin and Scott. Glenn M. Alperstein joined that firm in 1962 and in 1966 became a partner. Joel M. Simon joined that firm in 1978 and became a partner in 1989. The firm continued to practice under the name of Gillin, Scott, Alperstein, Glantz, Simon & Nielsen, A Law Corporation until March 31, 2000 at which time the members voluntarily separated. Alperstein, Simon, Farkas, Gillin & Scott, LLP is one of two successor law firms resulting from the voluntary separation, effective as of April 1, 2000.

   The members of Alperstein, Simon, Farkas, Gillin & Scott, LLP perform a wide range of legal services. They and their staff employees have a 22 year average length of continuous employment with the firm (and its predecessor firm). However, due to the complexity of our system of laws, each of its attorneys tend to concentrate in certain areas, specifically estate and gift tax planning and tax controversy matters, probate, trust law, real estate and business litigation and transactional matters. Some of these areas overlap, thereby requiring the services of more than one of its members. This coordination provides the client with the best possible legal advice and documentation, consistent with sound business and professional practice.

      When assignments are outside the scope of the firm's expertise, the members recommend (with the client's prior approval) outside associate counsel or allied professionals.
