I researched multiple elder care firms in NJ and eastern PA. We chose Carl's firm due to their expertise, thoroughness and compassion with our situation. We retained them for Asst Living Placement and Medicaid app - and found their knowledge and team structure invaluable while we placed an elder parent in AL. Plan to continue using the firm for all remaining parental legal needs and happily recommend Carl and team. Having gone through the experience with them, feeling very confident in the choice we made of Archer Law vs the other firms with whom we met.
Carl, Lisa and the whole Archer staff helped my mother and I through some hard times in our lives.
Dealing with the ailing health of my father with Medicaid (he has now passed) to an accident and was involved in. Carl and his staff always show true professional integrity, compassion and knowledge that put my family at ease through troubling times.
I can't express enough the gratitude i have for Carl and Lisa, they are "FAMILY"
Application for Medicaid benefits and estate planning and administration; consumer and estate litigation on behalf of elderly clients. Applications for Veteran's Aid and Attendance pension benefits.
A substantial portion of my practice involves assisting clients with applications for Medicaid benefits at home and in an assisted living or nursing home setting. I also do asset planning and preservation for those with concerns about long-term care.
Estate packages including wills, powers of attorney,and healthcare directives to complement wealth preservation and asset protection planning, including through the use of trusts, life insurance, and succession planning techniques.
I am an elder law attorney. I help seniors and their caregivers manage, qualify for, and pay for healthcare. I make sure seniors are protected and that no one takes advantage of their vulnerability to steal money or property from them. I handle legal issues like Medicaid planning and applications, estate planning and administration, guardianships, probate litigation, and Veterans' Aid and Attendance applications. I find customized solutions for every client's situation.

Courteous and helpful!
Carl was very helpful answering questions I had about the administration of my father's estate. He was professional, courteous, and a pleasure to deal with.

Review
Mr. Archer came in highly recommended from other attorneys. I find him to be incredibly knowledgeable, honest, friendly, quick to respond to telephone calls, and very reasonable in his billing practices. With his attention to detail and responsiveness, I have no reservations recommending him to my friends and family.

Minor compassion and service. Major fees
Required gigantic fee and did not complete service. No refund. Thousands of dollars (($8500) in his pocket and out of ours (mid 80s seniors)
