TIMONEY KNOX EXPANDS PRACTICE IN LANCASTER COUNTY BY MERGER WITH WALMER LAW OFFICES
The Fort Washington law firm Timoney Knox, LLP has merged with the Walmer Law Offices LLC of Lancaster.
Timoney Knox senior partner Richard L. Caplan and Mark F. Walmer will be working at the firm's Lancaster office at 243 N. Duke St., according to managing partner George Riter.
Caplan, a veteran litigator with strong ties and contacts in Lancaster County, had opened a branch office on Embassy Drive for Timoney Knox in November of 2006. That first step into Lancaster County led to the July 1 merger, Riter said. "When Richard Caplan opened our office in Lancaster," Riter said, "he started to identify sole practitioners and small firms that would help us grow our office and our specialty of complex litigation. He identified Mark, who has a terrific reputation with a specialty in criminal defense and some transactional work.
"We see Mark continuing to maintain a good, high quality criminal defense practice, including white-collar crime, as well as complex civil litigation." Riter said. Lancaster, Riter said, is a growing county with growing corporations and an increasing need for complex litigation support. The firm has some clients in the area already. "The demographics fit into our general practice approach," he said.
A recent article in The Legal Intelligencer reported that other law firms share that desire to expand into Lancaster County and that the area is drawing firms from western Pennsylvania and Harrisburg. Caplan and Walmer will be the principal resident partners in Lancaster, Riter said, with other partners spending time in that office as opportunity grows. "We hope to identify and add additional lawyers as necessary," he said. "But our goal is not to distinguish between Lancaster and Fort Washington. For our clients' sake, it should not even be an issue," Riter said.
