Reger Rizzo & Darnall Welcomes Stephen M. Asbel to the Firm

Reger Rizzo & Darnall is pleased to announce that Stephen M. Asbel has joined the Firm as a partner in our Philadelphia, PA Office. Mr. Asbel focuses his practice in the areas of wills and trusts, estate planning and estate administration, business and real estate contracts and transactions, LGBT+ Law, planning second-parent and intra-family adoptions, and gestational carrier and assisted reproduction technology agreements.

Mr. Asbel is passionate about helping individuals and families plan for the future, including estate taxation, choosing fiduciaries to manage funds until children or other beneficiaries come of age, planning ahead for making medical decisions, addressing special needs of family members, and all other personal decisions that go into planning an estate for a family.

Additionally, years before same-sex marriage recognition became a reality in the United States, Mr. Asbel was already serving the planning needs of the LGBT+ community and continues that service now that same-sex marriage is recognized throughout the United States.
