In 1939, James West. Stoudt joined the firm.
Then, in the 1940"s John C. Bradley was added to the partnership. helping us to represent our clients with the kind personal attention that was fast becoming the earmark of Body, Muth, Rhoda & Stoudt. Following came another name change, as Dawson H. Muth left the firm to become a judge, and John C. Bradley was added to the firm"s name. Thereafter, when Ralph C. Body went on to become a Federal Judge, we adopted our name of Rhoda, Stoudt & Bradley.
