Stephanie P. Saint-Cyr, Esquire, practices in the areas of estate
planning and administration, real estate, and general corporate.
In 1991, Mrs.
Saint-Cyr graduated from the State University of New York at
Binghamton and received a B.S. in Management/Finance. Thereafter, she
began her professional career at Merrill Lynch & Co. in New York
in their Private Client Group.
In 1995, Mrs.
Saint-Cyr sought to build upon her finance background by attending
law school at Howard University School of Law. During law school,
Mrs. Saint-Cyr served as an Executive Notes and Comments Editor of
the Howard Law Journal and, after receiving American
Jurisprudence awards for earning the highest grade in numerous
classes, she graduated in the top ten percent of her class and
received her J.D. cum laude.
After
receiving offers from several law firms, she accepted an offer to
work as an associate at Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, one of
Philadelphia's oldest and most prestigious law firms. At Drinker,
Mrs. Saint-Cyr specialized in trust and estates and worked with one
of the premier estate planners in the country, Pam H. Schneider, Esq.
After two and one-half years practicing at Drinker, she left the firm
and accepted an offer to work at Mellon Bank in their Private Wealth
Management Group where she served as a Vice President and Portfolio
Manager. In that capacity, Mrs. Saint-Cyr combined her legal
experience in trust and estates with the knowledge she attained at
Merrill Lynch working with high net worth individuals.
Aside from her
extensive professional experience, Stephanie involves herself in
charitable activities. Particularly, she is passionate about
encouraging underprivileged children to pursue and develop the joy
for reading. She is a participant in the Philadelphia Reads program,
where she tutors a first grade student. She is also a member of the
fundraising committee for the Philadelphia Chapter of Reach Out and
Read, a national pediatric early literacy program.
