MARSHALL STIMSON
Marshall Stimson has been
continuously engaged in law practice in the city of Los Angeles for more than
thirty years. He was born in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, May 21, 1876, a son of M. W. and Ella C. Stimson. They established their home in Los Angeles in
1887. Marshall Stimson went through the
public schools graduating from the Los Angeles high school in the summer class
of 1896. He then went east to college to
Harvard as a member of the class of 1900, later attended Harvard University Law
School and was admitted to practice in Massachusetts in 1901. He practiced law in Boston for two years, and
returned to Los Angeles where he was admitted to the bar at that time. He has been actively engaged in law practice
specializing in probate, corporation and business law. For the past seven years he has been
specializing in special assessment law and has been very active in attempting
to obtain a reform of these laws in the interests of the property owners.
Mr. Stimson has engaged in a number
of spectacular will contests which have involved questions of relationship
between attorney and client and various phases of undue influence and
fraud. The decisions of the Supreme
Court in two or three of these cases are now leading cases in California on the
subject.
Mr. Stimson is a thirty-second
degree Mason, has a membership in the Sons of the Revolution and several civic
and social organizations.
