Review of attorney - Stephanie Schneider

I worked with Stephanie Schneider for about 6 years....my wife suffers from Alzheimers Disease. After a detailed search I went to Stephanie...my Financial Advisor, my regular lawyer, my Medical Doctor ALL said to go to Stephanie...she is #1 in this field. Planning for the future ( 6 years ago ) was ...very detailed and time consuming...many many hours of paper work. My wife has been in a nursing home for 5 years...everything has been taken care of satisfactorily by Stephanie. I would tell anyone needing similar help or any kind of future life planning to call Stephanie...her staff is also excellent...always a big help to me...never had a problem with the office. The Customer May Always Be Right - But Doesn't Always Write!!

Help Mother with setting up will and Administration of Estate

MS Schneider and all the people at her office were patient with my Mother setting up her will and trust. When my Mother passed, MS Schneider was very helpful navigating us through the legal maze of probate and estate administration. I highly recommend MS Schneider and her legal team for Elder Law ...matters.
