Matthew Schrum: Compassionate and Knowledgeable

I consulted with Matthew Schrum on 10/02/2020. I was searching for an attorney, who specializes in a specific type of elder care. Mr. Schrum's expertise - navigating the legal and financial complexities caused by Disability, Special Needs, Alzheimer's, and Long Term Care - turned out not to be th...e exact area of my needs. Mr. Schrum readily and graciously took time out of his busy day, looked up an attorney who is a Certified Elder Law Attorney and shared that attorney's name and contact information with me. I cannot thank Mr. Schrum enough for the care he showed me during our consultation, by helping determine the specifics of my needs in order to refer someone. I strongly refer Mr. Schrum to anyone in need of his type legal services.
