Leonard L. Shober has represented clients in their estates and tax matters for the past 40 years. He began his legal career in an estate planning practice. However, his interest in taxes and estate planning led him to pursue a Master of Laws (LLM) from Temple, which he completed in 1994. Len continued his estate and tax practice, ultimately focusing on the needs of the elderly and disabled. At Shober & Rock, Len focuses on elder law, tax and estate planning, and estate and Trust administration.

Len later worked as head of the Social Work Department at Interim House, a long-term residential drug and alcohol program for addicted women.
