About Robert
Biography
Although focusing on Elder Law, Estate Planning, and Probate, my firm maintains relationships with other law firms to meet our clients' legal needs. Our main office is located in Haverford, four miles outside of Philadelphia. If necessary, we make house calls, visits to nursing homes and hospitals. Using conference calls and/or private webinars, we host family meetings for those living in different states or countries. The initial office consultation is free; the initial telephone consultation is at a discounted hourly rate.
I passed both the Pennsylvania Bar and Pennsylvania CPA exam. Although not practicing accounting, I am a member of the United States Tax Court Bar and maintain an associate membership in the PICPA. I enjoy "number crunching" for tax and estate planning, as much as presenting a case at the bar of the court. I have pledged to meet the ethical, competency, and aspirational standards of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA).
I've always had a strong commitment to "giving back to the community" and I currently serve as an advisor, or on the board, of two non-profit institutions as well as write a column for my local community newspaper.
Avvo is one of a growing number of attorney listings that construct an attorney profile and charge a fee for premium listings. We place most of our time and attention on our company website. Please visit it for more information about me, and my firm. ().

Top elderlaw attorny
With 24 years experience, Bob Gasparro, is one of the top elderlaw attorneys in PA. But, unlike most specialists, Bob has a broad general background as well. As Pres. of the Funeral Consumers Alliance of Greater Phila., I heartily endorse him.

We have been with him for years.
We are consulting with him now. When we saw the profile, we volunteered to add a testimonial. What else can we say? We've been seeing him for almost a decade. He started doing our tax return and handles all our family legal matters.

Estate probate and collection agency problem
He helped our family with estate planning. He helped again a year later when a collection agency tried to collect on a debt I did not owe, and he sued them for harassing me.

Retained for an estate probate
We met him at one of his seminars and retained him. We were pleased with the service.
