"Bringing a creative approach to issues and matters greatly benefits our clients and keeps my practice fresh and exciting."

Formerly the youngest Deputy Attorney General in charge of the Harrisburg office of the Pennsylvania Bureau of Consumer Protection, Steve Hladik brings a broad range of experience to his mortgage, foreclosure and bankruptcy legal practice.

A graduate of Penn State University, Steve's interest in history and politics grew into a desire to study law while taking a constitutional law class, among others, as an undergraduate. Steve pursued and obtained his law degree from Widener University, with honors, where he served as Internal Managing Editor of the Law Review.

A partner at Kerns Pearlstine since 2003, and a former Eagle Scout and New Jersey native, Steve gained expertise in lending law enforcement while serving in the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Bureau of Consumer Protection. Prior to joining Kerns Pearlstine, Steve was the Pennsylvania managing attorney for one of the nation's largest creditor's rights firms, practicing mortgage and bankruptcy law.

Steve routinely teaches Continuing Legal Education courses on mortgage law, bankruptcy law, title law and real estate tax sale law.

In addition to his legal practice, Steve is serving his second four-year term on the North Penn School Board.

Steve is admitted to practice before the Supreme Courts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit and U.S. District Court of the Eastern, Middle and Western Districts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. He is a member of the Montgomery County, Pennsylvania and American Bar Associations.
