LOWER MERION â Having practiced law for more than 28 years, garnering trial experience and developing courtroom skills along the way, Joseph A. Hirsch says heâs uniquely and highly qualified to become a magisterial district judge.
âI have also developed strong conflict resolution skills, and have helped many people successfully solve problems and resolve disputes in and out of the courtroom,â Hirsch said recently as he announced heâs seeking nomination, during the May 18 primary election, for district court judge in Montgomery Countyâs Magisterial District Court 38-2-04, which includes parts of Lower Merion Township.
âHaving the experience of trying cases in court and working closely with a diverse client base has given me a view from the trenches, that makes me particularly well suited to serve as district judge,â Hirsch added.
