   Our History

 

Harold S. Irwin, Sr. was a professor at the Dickinson School of Law following his graduation from the Carlisle law school in 1925.  He entered private practice in 1943, and was a 50-year member of the Cumberland County Bar Association.  He was joined by his sons, Harold "Duke" S. Irwin, Jr. and Roger B. Irwin, in the mid-fifties.  All three served terms as president of the Cumberland County Bar Association.  Duke served terms as both a Cumberland County assistant district attorney and the district attorney in the late fifties and early sixties.  Roger continues the family tradition as the senior partner of Irwin & McKnight, focusing primarily on the practice of estate planning and administration, and real estate law.  Roger is a 40-year member of the Cumberland County Bar Association.
















                


Marcus A. McKnight, III became affiliated with the law firm in 1977 after his graduation from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law.  Thereafter, in 1986, he became the first attorney to become a partner who was not a member of the Irwin family.  He has served as past President of the Carlisle Rotary Club and, as part of his legal practice, currently serves as solicitor for many local municipalities.  Marcus is a member of both the Pennsylvania and Cumberland County Bar Associations.


Douglas G. Miller and Matthew A. McKnight both worked as law clerks for the firm while they were attending law school.  Both also accepted positions as associates with the firm immediately after graduation.

Stephen L. Bloom merged his former solo practice into the firm in 2007.
