We have an active estate and trust administration practice and have worked on estates that are subject to federal estate and generation skipping taxes and contain businesses and assets in several states. We use the most modern computer software to administer and report estates and trusts.

Highly Recommend!!!!

My parents needed assistance with various aging issues. We consulted with Leonard Shober. He worked out a program for their many needs. Soon thereafter, my father needed assistance with nursing home care. During this application process Leonard and Pat were completely thorough, very professional an...d extremely patient. Their assistance was invaluable at such a difficult time. Leonard Shober and his staff went beyond my expectations and I am very grateful for their expertise.

Thank you, Shober & Rock!!

I met Leonard Shober when I needed an elder care attorney. Hiring Leonard turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Initially, he helped me with wills, POA, and some other things I didn’t know I needed; but, of course, I certainly did need them. In addition, I knew that my husb...and would eventually need full-time care. Leonard guided me to an excellent nursing home, suggesting I sign him up immediately as the nursing home has a 2-year waiting list. Approximately 7 months later, it was obvious my husband needed full-time care. Leonard worked with me to successfully enroll him in the facility. In order to be eligible for Medicaid assistance, a myriad of forms needed to be filled out. My daughter worked with Pat as they ploughed through this material. Pat and Leonard were at our sides, as one after another problems reared their heads. Thankfully, Pat and Leonard solved these seemingly insurmountable issues. It is due to their unfailing work on our behalf that we had a good resolution!! An almost unheard of accomplishment, I don’t think any one else would have worked so diligently, professionally, and compassionately on our behalf. The first day in Leonard’s office led us to a happy ending, and I will always be profoundly grateful to Leonard and Pat for their assistance.

Highly Recommended

Our financial planning firm has worked with Mr. Shober and Shober & Rock for many years and have found them incredibly competent and attentive. We share a number of clients who were universally happy with their work. Mr. Shober also represented my family in an elder law matter and we were very happy ...with the results.
