Larry Frolik is of counsel to Stember Feinstein Doyle & Payne and is a Professor of Law at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, where he specializes in Elder Law and Employee Benefits.

A graduate of Harvard Law School, Professor Frolik's ground breaking scholarly work, particularly in the area of guardianship, has earned him recognition as a national expert on the legal issues of older Americans.  One of the founders of the area now known as "Elder Law," he is the co-author of the treatise, Advising the Elderly or Disabled Client (Warren, Gorham, and Lamont, 2nd ed. 1999), a work that is widely praised by the practicing bar.  He is also co-author of the first textbook on the legal problems of the elderly, Elderlaw: Cases and Materials (Lexis 2nd ed. 1999), co-authored the book--Counseling the Older Client (ALI/ABA 1997), and wrote Residence Options for Older or Disabled Clients (Warren, Gorham, and Lamont 1997), which reflects his current scholarly interest in the housing issues faced by elderly persons.  He has also written numerous scholarly articles, and lectures frequently on elder law issues and on estate planning for families with disabled children.

Because of his expertise in elder law, Professor Frolik was appointed a congressional delegate to the White House Conference on Aging in 1995.  He is Chair of the Pennsylvania Bar Association Elder Law Section, Chair American Bar Association Tort and Insurance Practice Section Seniors' Issues Committee, and is past president of both the American Association of Law Schools Section on Law and Aging and of the Pennsylvania Developmental Disabilities Advocacy Council. Professor Frolik holds memberships in the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel and in the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, at whose national symposiums on elder law he is a frequent presenter.

He is a Visiting Professor at the University of Miami Law School's L.L.M. program in Estate Planning.
