City attorney honored

Attorney Stanley M. Vasiliadis of Bethlehem was recognized with the Excellence in Elder Law Award presented by the Pa. Bar Association Elder Law Section for his "superior professional efforts in the field of elder law, significant contributions to the legal profession and noteworthy service to the elderly."

As the only lawyer in the Lehigh Valley accredited as a Certified Elder Law Attorney, Vasiliadis and his associates represent clients throughout eastern Pennsylvania on issues related to long-term care planning, trust and estate administration and estate and tax planning.

"I am honored by the recognition of my colleagues but what means the most to me is being here to have a positive impact on the lives of my clients," Vasiliadis said. "We can do a lot to help seniors and their adult children when it comes to protecting their own futures and their assets. Sadly, even today, most seniors fail to take important legal measures to protect themselves and their families."

The award was presented July 25 in Harrisburg.
