I claim the proud heritage of being a third generation lawyer in this area.

My Grandfather, Harold S. Irwin began the practice of law in Carlisle in 1943, after teaching at Dickinson School of Law for eighteen years. Throughout the course of his law practice, he served in a variety of professional and civic organizations, including being the president of the Christian Legal Society, the Cumberland County Bar Association and the American Lung Association of South Central Pennsylvania. His work in the community, his integrity and professionalism formed the foundation of our family’s law practice. My father, Harold S. Irwin, Jr. was born in Carlisle and was a graduate of Carlisle High School, Dickinson College and Dickinson School of Law. He began practice with my Grandfather in 1954. “Duke” was a member of the Pennsylvania Bar Association, Cumberland County Bar Association and the Christian Legal Society. He served as Assistant District Attorney and District Attorney for Cumberland County, president of the Cumberland County Bar Association and chief counsel to the minority leader in the Pennsylvania Senate. Active in various civic and charitable organizations, he served as president of the American Lung Association of South Central Pennsylvania and he was an officer of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard, serving in that capacity for over thirty years.

I was born in Carlisle in 1950. I am a graduate of Carlisle High School, Dickinson College and Dickinson School of Law. I am admitted to practice law before the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania and am a member of the Pennsylvania Bar Association and the Cumberland County Bar Association. In 1996 I was selected for inclusion in the national directory of Who’s Who in Executives and Professionals. I also served as a member of the board of the American Lung Association of South Central Pennsylvania until its merger with the Pennsylvania Lung Association. I also co-chaired Carlisle Area Youth Soccer, a program of the Carlisle Family YMCA and co-sponsored the YMCA Spring Youth Soccer program. I am corporate counsel to The Hope Collection, Inc., a non-profit charitable corporation founded to assist active duty and military veterans and other first responders in a variety of ways. I served in the United States Army from 1969 – 1972, including an eighteen month tour in Viet Nam. I am the father of four children, Amy, Sarah, Katie and Zach and grandfather to eight grandchildren

In 1956, my Grandfather, Father and Uncle, Roger B. Irwin, together formed the law firm of Irwin, Irwin & Irwin. I was a partner in that firm and its successor firm from 1980 through August 1, 1994. On August 1, 1994, I opened my own office for the practice of law and am continuing to enjoy a growing general practice.
