Great experience

We were looking for a lawyer who could assist us with a will, health powers of attorney, financial powers of attorney, and general elder law guidance. After reviewing his background, I knew this was the right attorney for us. He was very personable, explained in detail and kept things quite simple.... We were put totally at ease and were very pleased with the results. He and his staff were easy to work with. Highly recommend!!!

Very highly recommended!

We recently updated our wills and POA's. Shawn was very patient with our many questions and made complicated information easy-to-understand. He was also able to refer us to other professionals to meet related needs that arose during our discussions. This was extremely valuable and important to us ...and provided great peace of mind. Shawn is very caring and kind, as well as professional and knowledgeable.

Very caring lawyer

We were looking to update my dad's will and information on Power of Attorney. Shawn and his team were extremely caring and helpful. Every question we had, Shawn was able to answer and give advice on how to handle situations. Shawn and his team are so personable and patient. I can't say thank you enou...gh for all that Shawn and his team did to help us. We were able to update my father's will and get Power of Attorney for financial and health care. His assistance allowed us to make sure my dad and his wishes were clearly stated and followed. If you are looking for someone who shows concern, patience, compassion, knowledge, and helpfulness, Shawn Pierson is the elderly law attorney for you and your elderly parent.

Excellent Personal Service and Advice

My wife and I recently moved to Pennsylvania and needed to update our wills and powers of attorney. Mr. Pierson reviewed our previous wills, asked about changes in our estate planning objectives, and presented some changes we might want to consider. He not only provided drafts to of the wills and pow...ers of attorney to review but also the time for us to review this documents thoroughly. When the inevitable questions arose, he answered them in ways and with examples that we let us feel we fully understood everything we were signing. We appreciate the time he spent with us and his efforts to make certain we understood and were comfortable with our final documents. It is clear that Mr. Pierson is concerned about meeting the needs and interests of his clients. We would recommend for anyone who has questions about elder law and estate planning.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
