August 2021 Justinian Member of the Month
This month, the Justinian Society proudly spotlights the accomplishments Joseph P. Stampone. He is the founder and managing shareholder of Stampone O'Brien Dilsheimer Law since 1984. His practice has focused on a variety of civil litigation and transactional matters, primarily complex personal injury matters, including motor vehicle accidents, product liability, construction accidents, and medical malpractice. Among his numerous passions for legal, civic and family activities, his law firm's recent project is a commissioned Mural entitled "Lady Justice" to be painted on the west wall of our office building located at 500 Cottman Avenue, Cheltenham, PA. The firm has always stood up in earnest advocating for the rights of the little guy, the powerless, and the underprivileged. This initiative began almost 3 years ago, prior to today's renewed focus on social justice, when we reached out to the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program. With its help we selected the theme of "Justice in America", and upon the Program's recommendation, hired nationally renowned muralist, Eric Okdeh, to provide his vision of this idea. The mural could not have been accomplished without the cooperation and support of the surrounding community and in particular, Fox Chase Cancer Center, who owns the bordering property and the Cheltenham Township Officials for their support of the project. A rendering of the Mural
