After Michael Maslan had established a thriving practice, it was time to expand. Gary Maslan joined the firm to help his father with the practice and in 1983 Ralph Rothwell joined the firm to practice family and zoning law. Together this team of legal minds excelled at providing their clients with the representation that the clients needed in their times of trouble. The firm was a perfect blend of the skills of the partners and a perfect marriage of their personalities. It became even more of an east side institution.
