Richard Czaja

Richard F. Czaja is one of the co-presidents and the general counsel at The Stahl Organization, overseeing the firms development and management arms. Czaja began his career as an attorney, working as a partner at the now-defunct firm Shea & Gould during the 1980s. He then joined the Stahl Organization as one of founder Stanley Stahls top aides. As the head of the real estate firm, Czaja has maintained the organizations low profile, saying the firm doesnt need a website and that it eschews development quotas. Czaja was the target of former Stahl co-owner Abe Hirschfeld, who said Czaja conspired against him to take over the company (Hirschfeld was convicted of trying to hire a hit man to kill Stanley Stahl, and Czaja and fellow co-president Gregg Wolpert dubbed him unfit to run the country after Stahl died of a stroke in 1999). Besides his work for Stahl Organization, Czaja is also on the board of trustees for Xaverian Brothers High School.
