We highly recommend Baltuch Elder Law. During a very sad time in our family’s lives, he gently shepherded us through the estate reconciliation process. Mr. Baltuch answered our questions and explained complex concepts in layman’s terms that were easy to understand. With great professionalism, he provided excellent service and quick responses to bring the process to a successful conclusion.

Daniel Baltuch is a sensitive and knowledgable source of information and counsel. Daniel helped to edit a care agreement written by my father's attorney to cover my taking care of him. Daniel is quick to establish rapport, a good communicator, a quick study, and he stays on point. We efficiently clarified the situation, made a plan, and contracted for my agreement with him. Daniel returned his deliverable within 6 hours, accompanied with verbal explanation. Daniel was attentive to time spent to protect my spending. I am grateful to have found him.

I would like to make a significant change to my above review. I make a serious error in my comment. The unexpected fee was a little over $100, not $1000. I apologize to the Curran co if my post caused them trouble. I was and still am, satisfied with my experience. I worked with rose and she was delightful, informative and very easy to talk too! I know that when my time is over she will be there for my daughter (executor for my estate)to help her with any unresolved issues .I have confidence that she explained things clearly and quickly...

We strongly recommend Peak Legal! Having been through a recent family death and estate settlement it became clear how important it is to have the right team in place to make the process easy and organized at a difficult time. We decided it was time to begin considering a plan of our own in preparation for that inevitable time that comes for all of us. We found Peak Legal and we are so happy that we did. Jen and her team were professional, thorough, and organized. They made the process easy and approachable. Jen listened carefully, answered all of our questions with solid legal advice and consideration relative to our personal circumstances. We felt heard, and Jen made difficult personal discussions comfortable while being personable and compassionate. We highly recommend the Peak Legal Group for estate and trust planning.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Christine Burke during my lawsuit with my former employer, and I cannot recommend Christine highly enough. From the very first consultation, Christine demonstrated a deep understanding of employment law and a genuine commitment to my case. Throughout the process, Christine was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive. She took the time to explain every step, ensuring I was informed and comfortable with the decisions being made. What impressed me the most was Christine's ability to negotiate effectively. She advocated for my rights with tenacity and professionalism, ultimately achieving a result that exceeded my expectations. I felt confident knowing I had such a skilled lawyer on my side. If you find yourself in need of legal assistance regarding employment issues, I wholeheartedly recommend Karpf, Karpf & Cerutti. Their expertise, dedication, and compassionate approach truly set them apart. Thank you, Christine for your exceptional support and guidance!

I really wish I could give 18 times the number of stars! Larry is congenial, engaging, accessible, and incredibly knowledgeable in every aspect of elder law. He and his very personable staff are efficient and responsive, and Larry personally works with every client. My family has known him for well over 10 years, and he not only helped plan my aged mother’s estate, he worked closely with our financial advisor and myself (executrix) to attend to her final directions after her passing. We’ve just finished the whole process, and I am thoroughly convinced that my mom’s estate, and my family and I, were in the care of a truly exemplary legal team! In addition, he has helped my husband and me to update our wills, and even though my husband has worked most of his life as a lawyer and judge, Larry was able to suggest a number of issues that we hadn’t considered and which needed to be addressed in our new wills. Larry’s office staff is extremely pleasant, friendly, and knowledgeable, and they were a real delight to work with. I can attest, in the strongest possible terms, that if you need an excellent attorney, one who is superlatively well versed in endgame issues, LARRY AUERBACH and his fine law firm is exactly what you’re looking for!

Larry was extremely helpful to me and my daughter when my husband died suddenly seven yeas ago. He took care of settling the estate and then creating my will and living will so that my daughter would not have to deal with any uncertainties in the future when I died or became incapacitated. Larry is very knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything in terms we could understand. He gave us his undivided attention, took his time, and I never felt rushed. He and everyone in the office were warm and caring. Definitely not the stereotyped stuffed suit law firm. He and his staff were easily available, retuning phone calls promptly and most of the time answering live. A rarity in this day and age of computerized robotic menus. The office is so responsive that they were able see me and take care of changes to my will within 24 hours of my last minute phone call requesting to change something prior to my surgery that was three days later. I have nothing but high regard for Larry and the staff and recommend them without reservation.

If you are dealing with a family matter, I highly recommend working with Tina Corr. Pricing: Tina Corr was fair and consistent with pricing. Her contract was straightforward and easy to read. Prices are reasonable and billing was explicitly spelled out ahead of time so no surprises. Personality: Tina Corr was wonderful to talk to. She gave me the truth even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear. She read everything I sent (and I mean read, not just received) and she responded mindfully to all of my concerns. Efficiency: Tina Corr was responsive (almost always within 24 hours via phone or email!) and efficient with paperwork. Everything was filed correctly on time if not early. I never felt like my lawyer left me hanging. Flexibility: Tina Corr was able to respond specifically to the unique needs and requests I had for my case. I think family cases can be nuanced and mine was no different. Tina Corr was able curate the work on her end to suit my specific circumstance. I attribute this to the fact that she's a good listener and perceptive; qualities that can be difficult to find in a lawyer.

Omg I don’t know where to start with this man. Here we go. I lost my wife and I am fairly young man and I did not know the importance of have an estate lawyer. It’s not a joke how they system can just make it impossible for you. I am truly thankful of Bob with his team of helping me and saving me hundreds of thousand of dollars of which I could have never paid of. But because of his hard work and detail focused, good planning, and your love for people to do well in whatever walk of life they have. You made it happen for me and saved something for my kids to leave a good life and get opportunity to go college with very minimum debit. More could be said but no need. I want to conclude by blessing him and his team and wishing him all the best in his work - I believe his love for people make work hard. God bless him.

Robert Gerhard is an exceptional Elder Law attorney who I hired to make sense of a tangled legal situation involving the estate of a deceased family member. Without a formal will and interconnected paperwork, Bob was able to work through Pennsylvania's laws & regulations to establish an executor, file taxes, close out the estate and bring all fiduciary questions to a close. Without his knowledge, patience, personal and professional assistance, I would have been completely lost throughout the entire probate process. He made me feel comfortable and trustworthy at all times, explaining the "legalese" of government forms, etc., and the need for documentation. I feel that I couldn't have made a better choice for an Elder Law Attorney in Pennsylvania.

My case was very difficult and I had so many attorneys decline my case but they would tell me to contact Ms. Speyer, so she’s very well respected with her colleagues they said she would help move things along in my case. Another review said she’s not coddling which she isn’t and that’s needed in order to get things done and keep clients on task it helped me so much. She’s very well respected with the court systems especially Phila Register of Wills and that helps when your trying to get information or get something done. She did a great job of keeping me on task and not letting me get bothered by irrelevant information especially the hatred coming from the other side, so her not allowing me to get emotional showed me she knew what I needed at the time to keep things moving along. My recommendation for anyone using her is to calm down and let her handle things it will take so much of the stress out, you know you hired the best, trust that decision. Ms. Speyer helped me so much and I appreciate her and would and will be recommending her to anyone going through a similar situation.

This was my first time buying a home in a Short Sale. Ms Stewart was able to delay the foreclosure giving me enough time to purchase the home back. She worked diligently moving things along and making it possible for me to finalize the deal. I am happy with her service and recommend Ms Stewart as one of the Top Attorney in the Philadelphia Area!

I will forever be grateful to the Lento Law Firm for their help. I experienced what could have been a career derailment when a retaliatory ex manager decided to go after me with unsubstantiated accusations. With the support, advice and representation of Mr Adams from this firm, the case was dismissed. Do not risk your livelihood by taking on any board, panel or committee without representation. I hope to never need this firm again but absolutely would make them my first call should I ever find the need!!

I can’t say enough great things about Echard Marquette Law Firm! I hired them to assist me after an auto accident, and the entire experience was beyond exceptional. Paul was absolutely amazing—he kept in constant contact, answered all my questions thoroughly, and made me feel confident every step of the way. Heather went above and beyond by personally delivering my settlement to my home after I had surgery and couldn’t drive to pick it up. That level of care and thoughtfulness is rare to find. The team at Echard Marquette truly cares about their clients, and their professionalism is unmatched. Highly recommend to anyone in need of expert, compassionate representation!

I’m so happy I was referred to Greg Baroni when my lawyer retired. I wanted to update personal legal documents. It was so easy to book an appointment with Greg. When I went in, he was very attentive, extremely knowledgeable, on point with every detail, and really took the time to understand my needs and amend my documents to meet those needs. He’s extremely personable, and I believe he truly cares about his Clients. His Legal Assistant, Abby, is fabulous as well. Great representative of his practice. All inquiries were answered in a very timely manner, Greg’s prepared documents were far more comprehensive and covered so much more than what I had before from past lawyers, and both Greg and Abby went out of their way to meet my needs. I would highly recommend Baroni Estate Planning and Elder law if you want personal, caring, expert legal service and peace of mind. Carol N

What an Elder Law Lawyer Can Do for You

An elder law lawyer specializes in legal issues that affect older adults, their families, and caregivers. These lawyers handle a broad range of topics, including estate planning, Medicaid and Medicare, long-term care planning, guardianship, elder abuse, and retirement planning. The goal of an elder law lawyer is to protect the rights, finances, and well-being of elderly individuals and to help them plan for future healthcare and financial security.

If you or a loved one is aging and facing challenges related to healthcare, finances, or legal matters, an elder law lawyer can provide essential guidance to protect your rights and interests as you age.

When Should I Hire an Elder Law Lawyer?

Hiring an elder law lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where older adults need help with legal, financial, or healthcare-related decisions. Common reasons to hire an elder law lawyer include:

  • Estate planning: If you want to create or update a will, set up trusts, or ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes, an elder law lawyer can help with comprehensive estate planning.
  • Medicaid and Medicare planning: If you need help qualifying for Medicaid to cover long-term care or need advice on navigating Medicare benefits, a lawyer can guide you through the application process and protect your assets.
  • Long-term care planning: If you’re concerned about paying for nursing home care or assisted living, a lawyer can help you create a financial plan and explore options for government assistance.
  • Guardianship or conservatorship: If a family member is unable to make decisions due to age-related cognitive issues, an elder law lawyer can assist in setting up legal guardianship or conservatorship to ensure their care.
  • Elder abuse and exploitation: If you or a loved one is experiencing physical, emotional, or financial abuse, an elder law lawyer can help you take legal action to stop the abuse and recover damages.
  • Retirement planning: Elder law lawyers can assist with planning for retirement, including managing pensions, Social Security, and other retirement income.
  • Special needs planning: If you have a disabled family member who requires special care, an elder law lawyer can help create trusts or other legal arrangements to ensure their long-term financial and healthcare needs are met.

What Does an Elder Law Lawyer Do?

An elder law lawyer provides a wide range of legal services to help older adults and their families navigate the complexities of aging, healthcare, and estate planning. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Drafting wills and trusts: Creating legal documents that outline how an individual’s assets will be distributed after death, ensuring that their wishes are honored.
  • Medicaid and Medicare planning: Helping clients protect their assets while qualifying for government benefits to cover healthcare and long-term care costs.
  • Establishing guardianships: Assisting families in setting up guardianship or conservatorship for loved ones who are unable to make decisions due to mental or physical incapacity.
  • Protecting against elder abuse: Investigating claims of elder abuse or financial exploitation and representing the victim in legal actions to stop the abuse and seek compensation.
  • Planning for long-term care: Developing strategies to cover the costs of nursing homes, assisted living, and other long-term care options without exhausting the elder’s financial resources.
  • Managing probate and estate administration: Guiding families through the probate process to ensure that the decedent’s assets are distributed according to the law and their wishes.
  • Setting up advance directives: Helping clients establish healthcare directives and powers of attorney to ensure their medical and financial decisions are carried out if they become incapacitated.

How Are Elder Law Lawyers Paid?

Elder law lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the type of legal work involved. Common payment structures include:

  • Hourly rate: Many elder law lawyers charge by the hour, especially for tasks such as drafting documents, handling legal disputes, or providing ongoing legal advice. Hourly rates typically range from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
  • Flat fee: For specific tasks, such as drafting a will or setting up a trust, some lawyers charge a flat fee. This can range from $500 to $5,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the estate plan.
  • Retainer: For long-term legal representation, such as managing a trust or handling guardianship matters, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers future legal work.
  • Contingency fee: In some elder abuse or financial exploitation cases, a lawyer may work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they recover compensation for the client. This fee is typically a percentage of the settlement or damages awarded.

Be sure to discuss fees with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how you will be billed and what the total cost of services might be.

How Much Does an Elder Law Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring an elder law lawyer varies depending on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the fee structure. General cost estimates include:

  • Simple estate planning: Drafting basic documents, such as a will or power of attorney, may cost between $500 and $2,000, depending on the complexity of the client’s assets and wishes.
  • Complex estate planning: Setting up more advanced estate plans, such as revocable or irrevocable trusts, Medicaid planning, or special needs trusts, can range from $2,000 to $10,000 or more.
  • Guardianship or conservatorship: Legal fees for setting up guardianship or conservatorship often range from $2,000 to $5,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case and whether disputes arise.
  • Medicaid planning: Legal fees for Medicaid planning can range from $1,500 to $10,000, depending on the level of asset protection needed and the complexity of the individual’s financial situation.

Always ask for an estimate of fees during your initial consultation to ensure you understand how much the legal services will cost.

Top Questions to Ask an Elder Law Lawyer

Before hiring an elder law lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and expertise needed to handle your case. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with elder law cases?
    Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's estate planning, Medicaid applications, or elder abuse claims.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or a retainer, and ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost.
  3. What is the best approach for my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your situation and what legal strategies the lawyer recommends.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Whether it’s drafting an estate plan or setting up a guardianship, ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to take.
  5. Will you handle my case personally?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be working on your case directly.
  6. What documents should I bring to the consultation?
    Ask the lawyer what documentation or information you should prepare for your consultation, such as medical records, financial statements, or prior legal documents.

How to Check the Credibility of an Elder Law Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable elder law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and experience:

  • Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for elder law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in elder law and have experience with cases similar to yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
  • Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on elder law issues.
  • Check for certifications: Look for certifications or affiliations with organizations such as the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA), which can indicate the lawyer’s dedication to elder law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with an elder law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Existing estate planning documents: If you have a will, trust, or power of attorney in place, bring copies for the lawyer to review.
  • Financial records: Provide details of your assets, including bank accounts, investments, real estate, and retirement accounts, as well as any debts.
  • Medical information: If the case involves guardianship or Medicaid planning, bring relevant medical records that detail the individual's health condition and care needs.
  • Insurance policies: Bring information about health insurance, long-term care insurance, and any other relevant policies.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about your legal needs, the process, and the lawyer’s fees.
  • List of family members or beneficiaries: Prepare a list of the individuals you want to include in your estate plan or who will be affected by the legal process.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and receive the best legal advice tailored to your needs.
