No Help

We hired her for elder care and we had issues getting some info along with closing accounts. We asked for help to only be told under review and all while I was ill and as said needed assistance to retrieve documents so don't believe the contract where it says will assist. Just lazy and earn off your... work and then without notice dropped us as a client and she back tracks and blames us.

Marianne

Marianne helped me through financial matters that needed to be changed due to my husband’s Alzheimer’s. She helped in applying for Medicaid and keeps me informed of anything I need to do to keep up with any changes.

Legal Advice

We went to Attorney Kreisher to have our new wills, POA and Living Wills drawn up. We've had other wills but have never had any other attorney ask the questions Marianne did. She was professional just personable. She wrote down all the questions we needed answers for and gave us a print out of t...hem for us to take home. This gave us the opportunity to have time to think about them and provide the answers. She explained a Trust account to us, giving us both the pros and cons.

Outstanding elder law work

Attorney Kreisher has provided my family brilliant elder law advice and legal work. When it became necessary for me to start taking care of an elderly parent, the documents she had prepared and her guidance have saved me countless hours of work and provided an immeasurable reduction in stress. Her wo...rk is efficient, accurate, and thorough, and I highly recommend her elder law services.

Exactly what we needed.

Marianne help my family when we needed most. When my father was burning through money at a nursing home, she helped him to get the assistance he desperately needed. That was three- (3) years ago. She still helps us today when there is a question or form to be submitted. I have recommended Marianne ...to friends and family.

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."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
