    70 Years of Stern Lawyers in Steubenville
       
      Joseph was the first Stern to practice law in Steubenville, setting up his practice in the late 1930's.  After
  World War II ended, Joe and brothers Hyman and Nathan established the law firm of Stern, Stern & Stern.
  In the 1970's, Hyman's sons Gary and Stephen joined the firm, along with Nathan's son James.  By 1978
  there were six Stern lawyers in the firm. Joseph was no longer practicing law, having become a wealthy
  industrialist, but he still liked having his name on the front door.
 















        In 1981, Hyman, Gary and Stephen split to form their own firm, setting up offices on the top floor
  of the Bank One building.  Nathan and James remained in the North Third Street office.  From 1981 to
  2005 there were two firms in town both calling themselves Stern Stern & Stern.  For some, especially the
  U.S. Post Office, it was a little confusing.

      Joseph, Hyman and Nathan are now deceased.  Stephen, after serving as Jefferson County Prosecutor
  for twenty years, retired in 2001.  James, who was rarely seen in public, closed his North Third Street
  office some time in 2006 and quietly moved out of town.   

      Gary Stern is now the last Stern lawyer in Steubenville.
