Jeremy A. Wechsler is a licensed attorney in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and focuses his practice on estate planning, elder law and probate for a variety of families. Jeremy is adamant that every family should plan, no matter how little or much they have, remarking that “proper estate planning shows compassion for your family, allowing for continuity during difficult times and diffusing any possible conflict or uncertainty.” Jeremy is plugged into the estate and elder law world, staying up to date in both areas of law. Jeremy regularly speaks on estate planning matters in front of community groups, as well as seminars and workshops provided for the benefit of prospective and current clients. 

Jeremy had a practice in Willow Grove for over 12 years before proudly joining Curtin & Heefner LLP, a top law firm in Bucks County.  

Beyond estate planning, Jeremy’s life has been devoted to helping others. After graduating from The George Washington University School of Business, Jeremy joined Teach For America, a national program that places recent college graduates in underserved public schools throughout the United States for two years. He spent three years teaching middle school in West Philadelphia.

During law school, Jeremy expanded his focus on helping others by working for the New York City Department of Homeless Services, New York Lawyers for the Public Interest, and The Legal Aid Society. Jeremy also participated in his law school’s Urban Law Clinic, where he successfully helped several clients in special education and employment discrimination matters.

Through these experiences, Jeremy has learned of the importance of helping others and giving back to your community. Estate and elder law planning is a natural extension of his commitment to helping people. Jeremy knows that having a trusted plan that properly cares for family and friends can provide peace of mind for clients and their family members. It is simply the best gift you can give to yourself and your family. As such, Jeremy takes the time to work with each client to understand his or her individual and family needs, and tailors each estate plan accordingly.

In his spare time, Jeremy enjoys traveling, volunteering and spending time with his family and Pablo, his lovable dog. Jeremy currently helps children through the Support Center for Child Advocates, and other pro bono work through Philly VIP.

Professional, knowledgeable and detail oriented.
After attending one of Jeremy’s webinars about legacy planning, my wife and I decided to have him review our wills and financial and medical power of attorneys. After reviewing all of the documents, he explained to us why we should both have more detailed power of attorneys. Jeremy is very professional, knowledgeable and detail oriented, and took the time to answer all of our questions. We were very impressed with all of the information and documentation he gave us. It was a pleasure to work with Jeremy and his friendly staff.

A Very Attentive and Caring Lawyer
Jeremy created a trust for our estate and settled an issue with a family member’s estate and we couldn't be more pleased with his service. He is very professional, answers all our questions in a matter that's easy to understand, and discusses all available options and which ones are best for our situation. We have recommended Jeremy to several of our friends who also used his services and feel the same way. We are so happy that we now have a good lawyer who has shown to serve our best interest.

Consummate professional
Jeremy is exceptional; knowledgeable, warm, helpful, patient, articulate / good explainer, thorough, and totally trustworthy. His assistance and advice were invaluable, and all our documents were perfect. He also referred us to a colleague for pre-nup development, who was also most helpful. All-around positive experience; can't rave enough!

Understandable /Uncomplicated Will
Jeremy did a fantastic job in preparing a legal Will for me that my heir will be able to understand and administer. I initially prepared one of the online "do it yourself" Wills which I knew was probably not exactly legally correct so I contacted Jeremy's office to review the online Will. When I met with Jeremy, he was very professional, pleasant and treated me with great respect. He took the time to thoroughly explain documents containing Beneficiaries versus Wills etc. Ultimately, Jeremy prepared a Legal Will and several other needed documents for me at a reasonable cost.

Great listener, problem solver!
I immediately became aware that he is a listener. And has been throughout every meeting or conversation. His questions help me make the right decisions, they were right for me: not simply boilerplate legal wording. Decisions in my will and my trust were clearly based on my needs, and my wishes, not his assumptions. I soon discovered that he was a problem solver, from the very beginning of our discussions. His thoughtful and supportive follow-ups always helped me make those appropriate updated decisions as I aged and my priorities changed. He is NOT the intimidating " authority". Very easy to talk to. My prior attorney, also promised periodic follow-ups, but once he got my check, snd my signature, his return calls were very delayed, short, and left me more confused. J. walks his talk; he knows the laws, And he remembers my details when I call with my current concerns months later. Also, His associates reflect his commitment, and integrity.

Obtaining a Will
My Spouse and were looking to get a Will and Health Care Power of Attorney. I went to informational seminar that Jeremy was giving. This impressed me enough to set-up an appointment to start the ball rolling about obtaining a Will. My spouse and me were very pleased with the friendly staff and Jeremy's approach to putting together a Will, Health and Financial Power of Attorney. Things were done in a timely matter. When all was done, we were given a binder that contained all pertain information, fiduciary directions and copies of Will and Power of Attorneys documents. There were no surprises except what kind of candy or chocolate would be available that day during our meetings of which there were two.

Easy to work with
I needed to get my estate plan done quickly prior to traveling. Jeremy not only finished my plan in a timely manner but it was perfect. I feel confident working with him and have already recommended my sister and a couple of friends to see him. He is great to work with and very personable.

understanding
My wife and I found Jeremy to be very understanding of our needs and particular situation. He was able to offer several suggestions and did not push any personal agenda. Meeting environment was casual and allowed us to discuss various approaches to our problem.

Probate and Estate Planning for my mother
Jeremy was a life saver. I contacted him after my father had passed away for help with the modest estate and to help plan my mother's estate. He was incredible sympathetic; highly professional, and exhibited a great attention to detail. Our meetings were concise and he showed an enormous amount of patience and professionalism with my mother who (after 58 years of marriage) was suddenly alone. He explained complex legal issues in a manner which was understandable to her - and he treated her with great respect. He was never condescending or impatient. I was incredibly impressed with his professionalism and his knowledge. Nothing was too much trouble to address; no question went unanswered; he was easily reachable (even when I was not) and his diligence in completing the necessary tasks and providing status was amazing. I am not a resident of Pennsylvania - and wish I were so Jeremy could handle my estate planning.

Great attorney reference
Was able to explain all aspects of the will/living will. Addressed all my concerns very professionally and willingly.
Posted by anonymous | August 3, 2010
Excellent, Thoughtful and Kind Attorney
Jeremy was a godsend. We had no idea what we were doing or what we wanted to do. Jeremy took the time to get to know us, our needs, our desires and wishes - and helped us to put together a plan that made sense for us - that we were happy with - and didn't have to spend a fortune to get. We now feel safe and secure should anything happen to either of us. I'd recommend Jeremy Wechsler to anyone needed legal services for planning their estate
