I have known Marianne for some time and am well acquainted with the high caliber of her work in Elder Law and related matter. I endorse this lawyer.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I have known Marianne for many years. She is one of the few attorneys in PA who have been practicing solely in elder law for many years. She is active in the elder law bar and is generous in helping colleagues. It is clear from her answers when questions are posed that she understands all of the facets of elder law and her answers are practical and thoughtful. I have great respect for Marianne and would feel comfortable referring my friends and family to her.
